Dialogue 13
- Well, hurry up.
- I'm trying to. But look, isn't there half an hour before school
starts?
- Is that the right time?
- I'm sure it is.
Dialogue 14
- School's almost over.
- Yes, I know.
- How many more days?
- Six.
- When do the holidays start?
- Next week.
Dialogue 15
- How did you enjoy your summer holidays?
- Oh, yes, very much. I spent them at a youth camp.
- On the south coast as usual with your elder sister?
- Yes, but this time I was alone.
- How lucky you were!
- That's right.
Dialogue 16
- Look here, this has got to stop. You've come bottom in
nearly every
subject.
- Except Geography.
- Yes, indeed. You came second to bottom in that.
- It wasn't really my fault. I was ill for some time, wasn't I?
- That's no excuse.
- I'll improve.
- I doubt it.
Dialogue 17
- My bag, please.
- Which one is it?
- It's one of those, there.
- This one?
- No, not that one.
- What colour?
- It's brown… Yes. That's it. Thank you.
- Not at all.
Dialogue 18
- So you've passed your exams.
- It wasn't all that difficult.
- It's because you worked hard, I think.
- Well, I was all right in History, but I didn't do so well in
Literature.
- And how about your English?
- Not so good, only so-so.
