SAMPLE DIALOG
A: The history class is really boring. How am I going to stay awake?
B: I like the history teacher. She’s knowledgeable¹. She told us a lot of interesting historical events in class.
A: Bur I find her boring! She could put the entire basketball team to sleep—during the championship game! Which class do you find dull?
B: I hate the economics² course. The teacher always talks above my head. So I’ve lost interest in the course.
A: Bur economic is my favorite. The professor is smart. Most students really learn a lot from him.
B: But he’s tough! He expects a lot. You have to work hard in his class, or you’ll probably fail.
A: No pain, no gain.
B: Actually not many students opt³ for his class.
A: What’s wrong with him?
B: Often the highest grade he gives on a term paper is B-. Last seme4stwe he failed more than a third of the students and I was one of them.
A: Oh, that’s too bad.
B: Well, how do you find your English teacher? I don’t think much of her, either.
A: I find her kind, always willing to answer my questions; she always gives me high marks.
B: You’re rubbing salt into my wound. She failed me last semester.
