Oh, hi, Fred! I didn't know whether to save you a place or not. Why are you so late?
It's our maths teacher. She always keeps us in class until ten past ten.
Doesn't she know that you're supposed to get out at ten?
I guess so. But she never looks at her watch. She just keeps talking.
Don't the students complain about it? I would say something.
No. Everybody is too polite.
Well, you could try and talk to her.
Maybe. But I'm afraid she might feel hurt.
Well,it all depends on how and when you say it. If you tell her about it in a friendly way when she's not busy, she might be thankful. She might even ask you to remind her of the time in the future.
Really? That would be wonderful. Thanks for your advice.
