S1: Yes, they sound good choices. I also think we need a torch, a mobile phone and a blanket. Another one? S2: OK. But now we have difficulties. I would like food and sweets. We’ll really need food if we’re to be on our own for five days before rescue comes. S1: No, I don’t agree. Food and sweets is a good idea but the medicine would also be very useful.
