Abbi: Welcome to the light rail debate. We are dabating about the lightrail in wisconsin. If you don't know what it is, it is a kind of train that runs on stored energy an does not use coal or gasoline. It is different than traditional trains because It is designed to carry just people, and only goes short distances. Anyway, the debaters are proffeser Peter from the University of Wisconsin and enginner Eddie he designs light rails.

Leo: I don't like the lightrail...

Abbi: why, proffeser Peter?

Leo: because they share space with regular trafic wich makes the light rail travel slower and some go underground

Brad: I don't care if they go slower and share trafic, they are more comfortable then other trains.

Abbi: so enginer Eddie why do you like the lightrail?

Brad: because even though they are expensive to build, once they are in place they are more affordable than trains

Leo: ok I'll give you that one, but cars have to stop for people getting off the lightrail.

Brad: but lightrails can keep going when cars can't because ice and snow is in there path.

Abbi: but aren't there over head wires to keep the train moving?

Leo: yah, thats why passengers don't like them because they don't look __cool.__

Abbi: Thanks for the info proffeser Peter.So expert Eddie do you agree with profeser peter.

Brad:He is right, there are some bad things about the lightrail, but it is safe and very fast.

Abbi:Yah you'r right, lightrails can go fifty miles per hour.

Abbi: OK, to stop all this arguing, we are going to call an old friend of mine named Alfred Mcguier rhe rides a light rail every day to wok and he knows alot about light rails.Hi Alfred, how are you?

Brad [Alfred]:I'm fine. Just one qustion, why did you call me?

Leo:Because we can't decide if the lightrail is good or bad.

Brad: What do you think?

Brad [Alfred]: Well I think the lightrail is good because they don't pullute.

Leo: Well I think the lightrail is bad because it has to follow street rules.

Brad: so what, lighrails are a smoother ride compared to buses.

Abbi:Sorry Alfred, about all the fighting. You should propaly go now, bye!

Brad[Alfred]: OK.Bye.

Leo:ok Alfred was not any help

Brad:yah he was he told us that the light rail is awesome!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
