M: Hi, Cathy, how did you find yesterday's speech competition?
W: Well, to be honest, it was quite disappointing.
M: You didn't like the speeches?
W: Yes, I did. In fact, I enjoyed listening to most of the speeches. But I just couldn't accept the result, you know.
M: Hmm, you mean the judges?
W: I mean most of the listeners including me didn't understand why the judges didn't like Samantha. It was such a shock when they announced the winner was Jim. We all thought Samantha's pronunciation was the best.
M: You're probably right. But don't you think the speech itself is more important? As I see it, Jim's speech was more meaningful. I was deeply moved by the story he told us.
W: But, in my opinion, we also learned something very important from Samantha's speech.
M: That's right. Samantha and Jim were indeed very close. I guess it was difficult for the judges.
W: Well, I wish I could agree with you. But I do think Samantha was the best.
