2 Read the dialogue and complete it with the phrases from the box. Whose opinion do you support and why?
a) generally speaking; b) to cut a long story short; c) supposing; d) to be honest; e) to begin with; f) to get back to the point; g) so to speak
A: Well, what can you say about this new sci-fi film?
B: (1) to be honest I’m rather tired of all those cyborgs, androids, war machines and things. I don’t think that people will ever allow them to get out of control, to take the upper hand of us (2) so to speak.
A: You are very optimistic, aren’t you? (3) to begin with I’d like to say that the process is already underway. A failure in a computer system can leave a huge city without electric power, for example. (4) to cut a long story short we already depend on ITs too much.
B: (5) generally speaking I can agree with you but I believe in the power of human intellect. If scientists work together, they can very soon solve the problem.
A: (6) supposing they are late. What will become of the world, what will become of us?
B: Don’t panic, there’s still time. (7) to cut a long story short, the film is not quite in my line, though the special effects are very impressive.
