Intermediate

A: Lucy, you’re back. How was your first day of school?

B: It was great. I had a really good time.

A: What classes did you have?

B: Well, I had English from 9:00 to 11:00, art from 12:00 to 2:00, and math from 2:00 to 4:00.

A: What do you think about the teachers?

B: To be honest, I like all of them, except for the math teacher. Though he must be quite young, he seems like an old person. He’s so boring!

A: That’s too bad. How was your English teacher?

B: She was great. In today’s class, she gave us a lecture on how to be a good student. She told us not to cram for exams, and to pay more attention on communicating than memorizing.

A: Where is she from?

B: She said that she’s from a small town in the middle of America.

A: Were you able to understand everything that she said?

B: Not everything, but nearly. She speaks very clearly and doesn’t use very complex words so that it is easy for us to understand her.

A: She sounds like a good teacher. Do you think you’ll pass her class?

B: Yes…with flying colors!

A: What does that mean?

B: It’s a new phrase that she taught us today. It means that I will not only pass the class, but I will do extremely well!

A: If you like the class this much already, I’m sure you will.

B: I hope so.

A: Did she give you any homework?

B: Not today. She said she wanted us to relax tonight instead of doing homework,

A: No wonder you like the class so much.
