126 REfLECTIvE COsMOPOLITANIsM Using this tale as a starting point, we can think about what flexibility means and when it is necessary to be flexible. We then look at 10 sentences and decide in which we can and should be flexible (or, if we can’t and shouldn’t). Can Should 1. We go to the cinema as a group and have to choose a film. 2. I am with my family and we have to choose where to go on holiday. 3. I leave my parents and I have to decide where I am going to live. 4. Everybody wants to go to the theme park. I want to go to the zoo. 5. Everybody wants to fight the kids from the other neighbor- hood. I do not want to go. 6. We all want to play football but Juan is tired of football and wants to play another game. 7. Training starts at eight o’clock. It’s fine for all of us except for Victor, who can’t make it before half past eight and asks to change the starting time. 8. Animals have always been banned from this restaurant. A blind woman arrives with her guide dog. 9. We always watch the news at lunchtime, but now my brother- in-law lives here and he wants to watch something different. 10. We have always shared housework, but now my uncle lives with us and he does not want to share the chores.
