Let's Go And See* The Teacher
Kang |
Do you know what is going to be in the exam? |
Lee |
I have no idea. Let's go and see the teacher. |
Kang |
Knowing him, he's not likely to give anything away. |
Lee |
Oh well, we can try. |
Kang |
You are an optimist. I suppose there is no harm in talking to him though. |
Lee |
Maybe we should make an appointment. We have to find out when he is free. |
Kang |
You are more charming than I am. Pretend you have some academic problem and want a discussion. |
Lee |
Ah, you always trick me into doing the hard jobs. |
Koo |
Excuse me Mr Mackie. Can I talk to you for a moment? |
Mackie |
Yes of course. What's the problem ? |
Koo |
A couple of us are worried about the coursework. Could we make an appointment? |
Mackie |
Well, I'm free right now. Would you like to come to my office ? |
Koo |
Um, we have a class now. How about tomorrow afternoon? |
Mackie |
Yes, that should be alright. I can see you about 3pm. |
Koo |
That's OK. Thank's for your trouble. |
Mackie |
By the way, can you give me some clue now? Then I can think about the problem. |
Koo |
Um, er, well, actually we are really worried about the exams. We don't know what to expect. |
Mackie |
Oh, is that all. The test
will be based on our classwork. I'll give everyone the details next
lesson. |
Koo |
Can, uh, you give us some
idea of what will be in the test though? |
Mackie |
If I told you what was in the test, it wouldn't be a test,
would it? |
Koo |
Thank you Mr Mackie. |
* Note : Usually you "go to see" (or
"go and see") someone in authority in a formal way, while "go to visit" has a
more social sense.
This is not a strict rule, but rather the way
things are typically expressed.
