Good morning, Miss Smith. I'm sorry to trouble you.
Good morning, not at all. Please be seated. What can I do for you?
It's about my son.
He isn't in trouble. I hope he's doing well in all his lessons. He'll do well in the exams.
Except in Chinese. I'm afraid. He says that he is a little weak in Chinese.
Is he? I'm sorry to hear that.
That's why I've come to see you. I'm worried about his Chinese. He may fall behind the others when he comes back.
What do you mean?
We'll go back to London for a holiday for two months. We haven't been back for three years.
I see. I think that maybe his Chinese teacher can give him some homework to do during the holiday. He won't fall too far behind the others when he comes back.
