Vocabulary 8 - C1

Herbert sat on the sofa, remote in hand, channel-surfing. Margot entered, holding a stack of papers.

Margot sighed. "Herbert, the homeowners' association needs a better representation at the town hall meeting. They're discussing new park rules."

Herbert grumbled. "Town hall? Sounds boring. I'm merely trying to find a show where someone wins a lot of money."

Margot placed the papers on the coffee table. "This legislation could affect us all, Herbert! It's not just about finding easy money. If the park closes early, where will Brian skateboard?"

Herbert clicked through another three channels. "He can skateboard in the driveway. Besides, the council will just nod along with whatever the mayor suggests. They always do."

Margot frowned. "That's why we need to be there! To voice our concerns. They're also discussing the settlement of a new retail complex near Oakhaven Elementary. It could increase traffic."

Herbert finally stopped on a cooking show. "Retail complex? Will there be a donut shop?"

Margot rolled her eyes. "Herbert! This is serious!"

Brian walked in, skateboard in hand. "What's serious?"

Margot turned to Brian. "The town council is making decisions that affect Oakhaven, and your father thinks it's all a waste of time."

Brian looked at Herbert, then back at Margot. "Maybe I should go to the meeting. At least I’d pay attention."

Herbert shrugged, eyes glued to the TV. "Suit yourself. Just don't expect me to dress up."
