Hello, Mr. Brown. How are you?
Fine, thanks, Mrs. Downs. How is your boy, Mike?
He is a bit tired. You know, he goes to school at eight o'clock every morning. He doesn't get home until after four. Then he does his homework after tea. It often takes him a couple of hours to finish it.
Poor boy. They work hard at school nowadays, don't they? Does he like it?
You mean the school? Yes, he does. He likes his teachers and classmates.
Does he go to school by bus?
No, he walks. He likes walking. He meets some of his friends at the corner and they go together.
What does he do when it rains?
