- Have you written your composition, Ben? It’s due today.

- Of course. And what about you?

- Not yet. I didn’t think it would be so difficult and started it only yesterday.

- Well, it will teach you a lesson. Never put till tomorrow what you can do today, you know.

 

- Paul wouldn’t like to fail his exam, would he?

- Of course he wouldn’t. Who would?

- But he hasn’t been working very hard. He thinks he is clever enough to pass his exams without much work, doesn’t he?

- Yes, he relies too much on his memory but I doubt it can carry him out when doing physics.

 

- As sure as eggs is eggs, Bob won’t do well at the exam.

- Why do you think so?

- He has missed much and doesn’t attend the extra lessons now.

- No fear. He’s quite at home in the subject.

 

- How about reading up for the entrance exams together?

- Fine. And let’s ask Jane to join us too, she has passed her finals with honours.

- I don’t mind. But she thinks too much of herself, doesn’t she?

- Not in the least. She is a good friend and never refuses to help anybody.

 

- What form are you in now, Robert?

- I’m not in a form yet. I’m in class three. Next year we’ll have our eleven plus exams. If I’m lucky, I’ll get good marks and I’ll enter a grammar or technical school.

- And which would you prefer?

- I’d better go to a secondary technical school.

 

- Playing truant again, Jim?

- Yes, I feel like staying away from Mr. West’s lesson. He’s very strict and keeps picking at me all the time.

- Well, well. Isn’t it wiser to learn lessons better and be present in class?

 

- Hello, Harry! Why didn’t you come to us yesterday? We had a nice table-tennis game.

- You see, my brother took me to a lecture on higher mathematics.

- Was it interesting?

- Frankly speaking, not. It was all Greek to me and went over my head.

 

- You know, Nick was asked to leave the room at the lesson in chemistry.

- Was he really? What did he do to deserve such a severe punishment?

- He struck a match and burnt a piece of paper at his desk.

- Well, I never expected that of him. Was he reported to his parents?

- Surely. The teacher demanded his day-book. I think he’ll get it hot.

 

- Why doesn’t Jim work harder?

- You know that very well – because he’s lazy.

- Do you think the teacher will put up with that very long?

- I’m afraid he won’t, and Jim will have to repeat the class.
