Doctor Wilson, can I talk to you for a minute?
Sure, Fred. What is it?
I'm worried about my grade in your English Class. I really want an A, but.
I see. Well, it might be hard for you to get an A. So far, you have a B average. You would need a 97 or 98 on your final exam to get an A. Do you think you can get that higher score?
Probably not. The problem is that I have to have a B average in all the subjects to get the prize from our government. Otherwise, I'll have to find a part time job. I'm afraid it is difficult for me to put all my heart in my study if I have to work in my spare time. I'll probably get an A in history and a B in maths, but I'll get a C in chemistry.
It is a problem, isn't it? You'll have to get an A in English to get a B average.
Yes, but things don't look very good for me right now.
I gave 2 less tests this term that I usually do that might have changed your great a little. Maybe I'll give everybody a chance to write a composition in English. Then you'll have a good chance to get an A.
