📖 Reading Comprehension
At Lycée Moderne de Bouaké, the debate club meets every Friday afternoon. This week, the topic is: "Should students be allowed to use smartphones in classrooms?" Kouamé, the club president, opens the discussion. "In my opinion, smartphones can be useful tools for learning," he says. "For example, students can use dictionary apps or take pictures of the blackboard." Adjoua disagrees. "I see your point, Kouamé, but smartphones are also a big distraction," she replies. "Studies show that students who use their phones during class get lower grades." Fatou raises her hand. "I understand your concern, Adjoua, however I believe teachers should decide, not a general rule for everyone," she argues. Konan adds a final point: "We must consider that many students in Bouaké don't even have smartphones. Isn't that unfair?" After forty-five minutes of passionate arguments, the club agrees that phones could be allowed only for specific class activities, with the teacher's permission.

Écoute le dialogue (3 écoutes maximum), puis réponds aux questions.
Good morning everyone. Today's meeting is about a new policy: should employees at N'SIYO GROUP be allowed to work from home two days a week? Let's hear different opinions. Aminata speaks first. "From my point of view, remote work increases productivity. Employees save time and feel less stressed." Konan responds. "That's a fair point, Aminata, however not every job can be done from home. Our sales team needs to meet clients in Abidjan and Cocody." Fatou adds her opinion. "I'm convinced that a hybrid system would work best. For example, the marketing team could work remotely, while sales stays in the office." The manager concludes: "Thank you all for your arguments. Let's vote next week after collecting more feedback from every department."
