Introduction

Jack: Why the long face?

Rich: The thing is I’ve got a bit of a dilemma.

Jack: What’s up? Maybe I can help ...

Rich: Well, you know those situations where you know what the right thing to do is but you want to do something different?

Jack: Ah yes ... I have dilemmas every dinner time. Salad or pizza... salad or pizza...

Rich: Well, er ... something like that I suppose. You see, I’ve been given these tickets for the Merseyside Derby - Everton v Liverpool. And I’d love to go and see it.

Jack: That’s brilliant. What’s the problem?

Rich: It’s the same time as my advanced exams class and it’s the final class before my students take the exam.

Jack: Hmm, yes. That’s a tricky one. I know what you should do. GO TO THE MATCH!

Rich: But it’s a really important exam. My students are depending on me, they can’t have a substitute teacher on the last day.

Jack: I’m only joking. You’ve got to do the class, Rich. They’ll be more matches to see.

Rich: Yeah, I know. Maybe my students will get me a thank you present.

Jack: Yeah, perhaps some tickets to a match.

Welcome - Dilemmas 

Rich: Hello my name’s Rich

Jack: and I’m Jack

Rich: and welcome to this week’s Premier Skills English podcast

Jack: Where we talk about football and help you with your English.

Jack: What’s happening this week, Rich?

Rich: In this week’s podcast, we are going to talk about the language of dilemmas. 

Jack: But first, what is a dilemma? A dilemma is a situation or problem that you face where there is a difficult choice to make. In the opening section, Rich’s dilemma was whether to teach his students before an important exam or go to an important football match.

Rich: I still can’t decide.

Jack: Anyway, in this podcast, we’re going to look at the language we use when speaking about dilemmas. 

Rich: We will focus on modal verbs like should and must and have to but also lots of other words and phrases that we use to discuss problems and speak about dilemmas.

Jack: We’re going to talk about three dilemmas.

Rich: And if you have registered for our Premier Skills Live Activity Week on the Premier Skills English website you will also see lots of extra pages and activities related to this podcast on the activity week welcome page.

Rich: Finally, don’t forget to listen to the end of this podcast because we have a new football phrase for you to guess.

Topic Focus

Rich: So, we are going to do three roleplays. In each role play, you will hear us talking about a different dilemma.

Jack: We want you to answer four questions while you listen. 1. What is the dilemma? 2. What would Rich do? 3. What would I do? And number four; What would you do?

Rich: Dilemma 1

Rich: Jack, I want you to imagine you are back at school. You are 13 years old.

Jack: 13 years old, right.

Rich: It’s break time and everyone wants to play football. You are a captain and you have to pick your team. All the kids have their hands up saying ‘pick me, ‘pick me’ including your best friend.

Jack: Well, I’d pick my best friend.

Rich: Hold on. Imagine your best friend is terrible at football, should you pick him? Your team will lose. Should you choose your friend or the best player?

Jack: I would still choose my best friend.

Rich: Really? But, what about if a scout was going to watch the game?

Jack: It wouldn’t make any difference. I’d pick my friend. What would you do?

Rich: Er …

Jack: You’d choose the best player, wouldn’t you?

Rich: Er … no 

Jack: I know you would. You’d pick the best player.

Rich: Maybe, I know that I should really pick my friend but …

Jack: You horrible, horrible person! It’s only a game

Rich. It’s only an imaginary game!

Rich: I know, I know but I want to win. Even if it’s in my head.

...

Rich: While you are listening this is what we want you to do.

Jack: We want you to answer four questions while you listen. 1. What is the dilemma? 2. What would Rich do? 3. What would Jack do? And number four; What would you do?

Rich: Dilemma 2

Rich: You’re a new striker for a Premier League team playing in your first match. An opposition player is on the ground injured. The referee hasn’t seen the injured player. You’ve got the ball and have a great chance to score your first ever Premier League goal. What should you do?

Jack: I’d kick the ball out of play.

Rich: You’d what? 

Jack: I’d kick the ball out of play. I’d kick it into touch so the injured player could get some treatment.

Rich: But, but … really?

Jack: It’s the right thing to do. I wouldn’t want to score in that way. I’d stop. I wouldn’t take advantage of the situation. 

Rich: But what if the player is faking it? What if he’s dived?

Jack: That’s for the referee to decide but I’d always stop if I saw someone down on the pitch.

Rich: But, what if you’re right in front of the goal ... this is your first chance to score a Premier League goal? You could check the player’s OK after you’ve scored.

Jack: To be honest it just doesn’t feel right … it feels like cheating.

Rich: It’s not cheating. You’re supposed to keep playing until the referee stops the game.

Jack: But what if the referee hasn’t seen the player down?

Rich: It won’t take him long to notice. I’d carry on. It’s up to the referee to decide. 

Jack: Wouldn’t you feel guilty?

Rich: No.

...

Rich: While you are listening this is what we want you to do.

Jack: We want you to answer four questions while you listen. 1. What is the dilemma? 2. What would Rich do? 3. What would I do? And number 4; What would you do?

Rich: Dilemma 3

Rich: You are the star player for a small club who is close to getting promoted to the Premier League for the first ever time. You have been at this club since you were seven years old. All your teammates are your friends and the fans love you. A big Premier League club want to sign you. Should you move clubs or not? 

Jack: This is a difficult one. I think I’d probably stay at the club. 

Rich: But a big Premier League club. It would be a huge increase in salary. It would set you and your family up for life. Money, house, car …

Jack: But what about the small club you’re leaving behind. They’ve trained you, looked after you and made you the player you are. I think I’d feel that I owed something to them. I’d stay for sure.

Rich: I wouldn’t.

Jack: I guessed that.

Rich: Well maybe I’d stay until the end of the season. Then I’d move. 

Language Focus 

Jack: We’ve just used lots of useful language for talking about dilemmas.

Rich: Two words that we used a lot in our role plays were would and should. They are both what are called modal verbs. A modal verb is a word that is used to add extra meaning to a verb.

Jack: Something you should do is something that is a good or the best idea to do. Something that you would do is something you think you would do in a situation that is not real or hypothetical.

Rich: In roleplay one, I asked Jack if he would choose his friend instead of a better player for his football team. He said that he would choose his friend. 

Jack: That’s what I would do if I was in that situation or had that dilemma.

Rich: The use of would or should very much depends whether the situation is real or hypothetical.

Jack: At the beginning of the podcast Rich was speaking about a real and current dilemma so he was talking about what he should do rather than what he would do.

Rich: I could ask Jack these questions: What should I do? And What would you do? The first is real because it’s my dilemma and the second is hypothetical - not real because Jack is not in that situation.

Jack: We’ve got more about the use of should and would in the activities at the bottom of this page.

Rich: And if you’re signed up for our activity week - the next lesson is all about the language of dilemmas and modal verbs.

Jack: Yes, because we used lots of other phrases too. Phrases such as: what if, what about, even if, you’re supposed to and many more we used in these hypothetical discussions. 

Task

Rich: The task this week is a discussion. We want you to give your opinions about some dilemmas in the comments section at the bottom of this page.

Jack: First, we want you to say what choice you would make in the three dilemmas we introduced in this podcast.

Rich: Do you agree with me?

Jack: Or do you agree with me?

Rich: Then we want you to think about two more football dilemmas and give your opinion. Try to use lots of modal verbs and some of the phrases we introduced in this podcast when giving your answers.

Jack: Here are the two dilemmas.

Rich: Dilemma one: You are playing an important World Cup match. It’s the 90th minute. You are defending and the ball is going to go in the net. The only way you can stop the ball is by using your hand. This will result in a penalty for the other team and a red card for you. But, it might stop the other team from winning if they miss the penalty. What should you do?

Jack: Dilemma two: You play for a football team in London. You have a young family who is very happy in London with friends and a good school. You are offered a chance to move to a bigger club in a faraway place. What should you do?

Football Phrase

Rich: Have you got a football phrase for us this week? 

Jack: Yes, I have, but first, last week’s football phrase. The phrase was to run your socks off. The phrase is a cliche and idiom that means to work very, very hard. You often hear managers say my players ran their socks off at the end of the match.

Rich: Well done to Violinka and Liubomyr from Ukraine and Linh Dreamer from Russia and anybody else who has got the right answer in the last few days! What’s this week’s football phrase, Jack?

Jack: This week’s football phrase is to *** *** **** *** ** ****. If you were listening to the podcast carefully you will have heard this phrase in one of the dilemmas earlier. It means to accidentally, or on purpose if another player is injured, kick the ball off the pitch.

Rich: Have a listen to the dilemmas again if you’re not sure about this one.

Jack: Right, that’s all we have time for this week! Don’t forget to write your answers to our questions and make a guess at our football phrase in the comments below.

Rich: And don’t forget to listen to our round-up show called ‘This Week’. And sign up for our Premier Skills English Live Lessons on the Premier Skills English homepage. Just hit the live button.

Jack: If you have enjoyed this podcast or found it useful, leave us a rating  or review and that will help other people find us. Bye for now and enjoy your football.

Topic

What is a dilemma?

In this week's podcast, Jack and Rich spoke about dilemmas. A dilemma is a situation or problem that you face when there is a difficult choice to make. At the beginning of the podcast, Rich’s dilemma was whether to teach his students before an important exam or go to an important football match. Jack said to Rich: 

That’s a tricky one. I know what you should do. GO TO THE MATCH!

Jack then told Rich that he was joking and said:

I’m only joking. You’ve got to do the class Rich. They’ll be more matches to see.

In the podcast, Jack and Rich talk about three dilemmas that are connected to football, but we face dilemmas all the time in everyday life. Which of these do you think are dilemmas?

  • Deciding if you should lie to someone to make them feel better.
  • Deciding what to eat for dinner.
  • Deciding whether to use time at work for personal reasons.
  • Deciding which football team to support.
  • Deciding to ignore or respond to a friend request on Facebook.

Dilemma 2: There is a player down injured and you have a chance to score. What should you do?

Language

When someone is speaking to you about a dilemma you may be asked one of these two questions:

  1. What should I do?
  2. What would you do?

Both of these are asking for some advice, but one is real (should) and the other is hypothetical or unreal (would). When responding to Rich's dilemma at the beginning of the podcast, Jack said:

You should go to the match.

Jack used should because he was talking about a real situation. Later, when Jack spoke about dilemma one, he said:

It wouldn't make any difference. I'd pick my friend. What would you do? 

Jack used would because he was talking about a hypothetical (unreal) situation.

If you want to learn more about how to use should and would in real and unreal situations, you will find lots of activities in lesson five, which is the next lesson in our activity week. If you haven't signed up for it yet, you can sign up here:

Dilemma 3: You have been at a small football since you were seven years old. Do you stay and help them get promoted or do you sign for a bigger club?

Language

There were lots of other phrases in the podcast that we often use when we are speaking about difficult choices and dilemmas. Take a look at these ten sentences from the podcast. Do you know what the phrases in red mean? If you're not sure, ask a question in the comments section at the bottom of this page.

I suppose I would pick my friend.
That’s a tricky one.
It wouldn’t make a difference.
It’s the right thing to do.
I wouldn’t take advantage of the situation.
To be honest it just doesn’t feel right.
You’re supposed to keep playing until the referee stops the game.
It’s up to the referee to decide.
But what about the small club you’re leaving behind. 
I think I’d feel that I owed something to them.

Task

What would you do?

In the podcast, Jack and Rich introduced three dilemmas. We want to know what you would do in each situation and what advice you would give to someone else in that situation. You need to use should and would in your answers. Here is a reminder of each situation:

  • Dilemma 1

    Imagine you are back at school. You are 13 years old. It’s break time and everyone wants to play football. You are a captain and you have to pick your team. All the kids have their hands up saying ‘pick me, ‘pick me’ including your best friend who is terrible at football. What do you do? 

  • Dilemma 2 

    You’re a new striker for a Premier League team playing in your first match. An opposition player is on the ground injured. The referee hasn’t seen the injured player. You’ve got the ball and have a great chance to score your first ever Premier League goal. What should you do?

  • Dilemma 3 

    You are the star player for a small club who is close to getting promoted to the Premier League for the first ever time. You have been at this club since you were seven years old. All your teammates are your friends and the fans love you. A big Premier League club want to sign you. Should you move or not? 

Try to use as many of the words and phrases from this podcast as you can. Write your dialogue in the comments section at the bottom of this page.

I've had to make a difficult choice when I was offered a new job opportunity with high salary. I accepted and it was one of my regret in my career life. I shouldn't have changed my company. My favourite motto in these days is "Think twice"
Before answering dilemmas questions I have to point out that football is not only a game it's also an industry. As a result of this it's logical and fair to rise individual income for players.
But on the other hand football involves some ethical and humanitarian rules.

Dilemma 1- I would pick my friend. Friendship is important than football.
Dilemma 2- I would kick the ball out of the pitch. It's not fair to take advantage of vulnerability of the people.
Dilemma 3- It's very hard to make a desicion. I would stayed. But if someone accepted transfer offer I would respect his/her desicion.

Dilemma 1
I would definitely pick my best friend as it will encourage him to do his best as it's just a football game for fun not a professional one. Actually I like to play in the weaker side to be more motivated :)
Advice : You should pick your friend because friendship is more important than a football game

Dilemma 2
I would do like Jack and kick the ball out of the play because players health is more important than scoring goals for me and I believe I will score later on in the same game a more spectacular goal much better than an easy goal :)
Advice : You should kick the ball out as it might be a serious injury

Dilemma 3 :
I would stay in my club and help them get promoted and everything settled down then I will take a promise from the manager to negotiate with the big club during Summer transfers
Advice : You should stay with your childhood club , help them as they have helped you then decide the future later on

I have had lots of difficult choices to make throughout my life and it's quite difficult to take decisions but when you ask advice from close friends and you are confident , you choose what's best for you and you take the full responsibility of your decision
Not easy but you have to trust yourself and your decision

It's not always easy to make the right decisions when some of the people we love are around.Here is what I would do:

Dilemma 1. I'd call a spade a spade and select someone else. Why should I pick someone who cannot deliver. I'll later tell my friend why I didn't choose him.

Dilemma 2. I'd go ahead and score.I can't let the opportunity slip away.

Dilemma 3. Umm! Another chance.I would sign for the top flight club. I think my club would be happy to see me go,the amount of meney to be transfered to the club plus the feeling of producing Premier League player.

Yes, I've had to make difficult choices, and it can be quite difficult, it depends on the situation.

1. If I were the captain and had to choose my players, I would definitely choose my friend first, is not all about winning!

2. If I were in that situation, I would do what I think is the right thing. I would stop playing and inform the referee about the injured player.

3. Wow, hard one. I guess I would accept to sign for the new team. I would thank my old team, but I would tell them that I need to follow my dreams!

- One of my faults is that I am very hesitant so several things represent a dilemma for me
-DILEMA 1: I consider that what I would do would be that I would choose my friend for me, friendship is more important than triumphs since they are more valuable if you live with your friend
- DILEMMA 2: What you should do and what you would do is the right thing to be honest and warn that the player is injured, it is more important to think about others than to look for wins without regard to others
- DILEMA 3: what I would do would be to ask for advice from reliable people and I think I would stay in my childhood team since it would be part of a very nice process as it will gradually increase and it would be very good to be part of this process.

Yes, I had to make difficult decisions, and it's not easy for me.
1. I would choose my best friend
2. Maybe the decision I would think now is to help the injured player, but I know that the impulses deceive and there would be a chance to make the goal and leave it lying on the ground.
3. I stay in my team, it can be big, I can also be promoted to the Premier League.

-DILEMA 1: I would choose my best friend, even if it's the worst player in the world, what matters at that age is to enjoy not winning, that's the least
-DILEMA 2: would pass the ball to someone else to call the attention of the referee to the injured, can be an opponent but does not stop being a person
-DILEMA 3: I would not know what to do, but if it's a good opportunity I would do it

2.
* In the first dilemma I would try to be fair and talk to my best friend so that no inconveniences are present.
* In the second dilemma if I see that my opponent is very bad I would stop the game and help him, but if I see he can wait a little I make my first goal and advise the referee to help him.
* In the third dilemma you would accept the propesta, if I see that it will help me to trinfar, to then also help to raise my friends with whom I learned.

-Being my best friend, maybe I let him play a game time, either at the beginning or at the end, it seems fair.

Dilemma 1: I would choose someone who plays biem instead of my best friend, because you have to think as a team and not just for one.
Dilemma 2: Help the opposing player who is on the floor, for ethical reasons.
Dilemma 3: I think it's a very difficult decision, but I think I would stay with the team I've been with since I was 7 years old, because they formed the player who spy now and they are the ones who have supported me.

Dilemma 2: First of all I would mark the goal for my team and my new career in the premier league and very quickly would go where is the injured player and give him some help for making it feel better taking off of the camp and giving him to the paramedics.
Dilemma 3: I think I would choose stay with my friends, because when there is trust and support, many things can be achieved.
