M: You want to see me about my grades, Ms. Lain.
W: Yes, sit down, Paul. Now some of your teachers have told me that you are not doing well with your studies. Is the work too difficult?
M: The work isn’t hard. It’s just that I don’t have much time to study these days. Besides being on the school soccer team, I’m also doing a part-time job and volunteering at the Students’ Center.
W: Well, Paul, you probably just have to manage your time better. Tell me about your schedule.
M: Well, I get up at about 8:00 and start classes at 9:00.
W: When do you volunteer at the Students Center?
M: From noon to one. I hardly even have time to eat my lunch.
W: And you have soccer practice after school?
M: Every day, I have soccer practice from three to four and then work part time at the supermarket from five to eight.
W: So you do your homework after that?
M: Usually I’m too tired to start right away. I watch TV for a while and do my homework from eleven to one.
W: One o’clock in the morning? Paul, you’d better stop playing soccer or stop working. Your school work is more important.
M: But I love soccer, Ms. Lain. I guess I have to quit my job.

W: Come on, you’d better eat up quickly, Kevin, it’s getting late.
M: I don’t want it!
W: Oh, go on, carrots are good for you.
M: I don’t like things that are good for me.
W: Well, you ought to and anyway they make you see in the dark.
M: No, they don’t. I can’t see in the dark.
W: You can if you eat more carrots.
M: You eat a lot of carrots, but can you see in the dark?
W: Of course, I can…What are you doing?
M: Turning off the light…there…I’ve eaten all my carrots!
W: I don’t believe you.
M: Well, can you see them? It’s dark now. Can you see in the dark?
