Man: Well, to start with, it is the most civilized country in the world. All the towns are identical you know and all the buildings are laid out in an ordered way. Every building has piped water and the houses are large with glass windows—just think of that! Well…there is no private property in Utopia and various families live together in each of the large houses. Everybody wears the same kind of clothes and so there is no fashion. Nobody has any desire to show off and gold and silver have no value – unlike in our society.

Divorce is possible only when both the husband and wife want it. There are severe punishments if married people have affairs.
Sarah: Mmm it’s awful there at this time of day, isn’t it? This city’s a real mess—don’t you think?
Debbie: Yeah, it’d be a good idea if they … if they stopped traffic going into the center—you know what I mean? There could be lots more pedestrian streets and that sort of thing.
everything is well organized and people only have to work six hours a day. They usually have all of their meals in a large communal dining room, but can have them at home if they want. At supper people listen to music and have interesting discussions. When they are not working, the Utopians go to lectures or play interesting games like chess. There are no inns in Utopia and no gambling either – so that’s very different from our society isn’t it? You know, people take their pleasure from living a healthy and useful life. Utopian society and families are very well organized. There is a head of each household, who is always the oldest male by the way. Husbands have authority over their wives and parents have authority over their children. There is a leader in each area of the town and each town has three representatives who are sent to the parliament, where major decisions are taken.
5) Does Utopia ever trade with other countries? Why / Why not? Utopia never trades with other country because there is nothing that it needs. 6) Are there any wars in their country? Why? There is no war in Utopia, because they hate war. They fight only in self-defense.

Debbie: Sorry I’ve turned up late. The ①Broadway – you know what the traffic’s like. I got held up for ten minutes.
Storyteller: I made some polite remarks about Utopia and thanked the man. I cannot say I agree with everything he said, but I admit that there are many things in the Utopian Republic that I would like to see adopted in Europe.
There are very few laws in Utopia, because there is no need for them. So there are no lawyers – just imagine that. But if someone behaves badly they can be made into slaves—the slaves in Utopia are convicts or foreigners who have to work very hard. Girls can marry when they are 18 and boys when they are 22. Divorce is only possible when both husband and wife want it. There are severe punishments for married people who have affairs. The guilty people can be made into slaves.
Utopia is a very rich country but never trades with other countries, because there is nothing that it needs. Utopians are peaceful and hate war and they only fight in self-defense.
Sarah: Mmmm that’s not a bad idea. Like they have in ② Rotherham. But … what about doing something about public transport? It’s about time we had more buses. You have to wait ages for ③ the number 23, don’t you? I think they should put buses every fifteen minutes.
