Amanda: Hi, Bill. I haven't seen you for ages. How are you?

Bill: Oh, hi, Amanda. I'm really glad to see you.

Amanda: Hey, you look down in the dumps. What's the matter? Aren't you happy that the school year is finally over?

Bill: Well, you have every reason to be happy. You have passed all your exams with flying colors. That's not my case. I almost failed my math exam.

Amanda: Really? Are you so bad at maths?

Bill: Oh, Amanda, this subject is torture. I can't make out anything the teacher says. It doesn't really matter how many times she explains it to me. It's completely over my head.

Amanda: Come on, Bill. You can't be that bad. I don't remember you having so many problems with maths before. When did it all start?

Bill: Well, in September, I returned from that exchange program in France, and then I got ill after a couple weeks at school.

Amanda: Oh, yes, that nasty flu you had. You missed like three weeks at school or so.

Bill: Exactly. Then I came back to studies, but it seemed just impossible to catch up with the rest of the class. I guess I should have returned to the parts of the student book that I missed, but I didn't do that.

Amanda: Well, Bill, it was certainly a mistake. If you had returned to the material you missed, you would have understood everything.

Bill: I know, Amanda, I know. The question is, what should I do now?

Amanda: You have the whole summer ahead. Find some math courses or online lessons on the topic you don't understand. Take the student book and pull your socks up.

Bill: Do you really think I'm happy to study in summer? Everybody will be having fun in the sun, and I'll be reading books and solving math problems.

Amanda: I understand it doesn't sound exciting, but at the same time, I believe you have no other way out. You don't want to do even worse next semester, do you?

Bill: I guess you are right. I'll phone the educational center on High Street. They are said to have classes in mini-groups as well as tutorials.

Amanda: I've heard that they have morning classes with a discount, but that means you'll have to get up early.

Bill: Oh, Amanda, you know that I don't mind it at all. I'm an early bird, plus I'll be able to save some money this way.

Amanda: So, what are you waiting for? Call them now.
