Lesson 51: STUDYING FOR EXAMS

  • Hi Kim.
  • Hey Shawn, good to see you again.
  • How have you been?
  • OK, I didn’t sleep much last night though. I stayed up until 2 AM studying for an exam.
  • I was up late last night too. The semester is almost over. I’ve had exams all week.
  • Are you going back to California after you graduate?
  • I think so. After I graduate I’ll probably go back home and try to get a job.
  • Do you know where you’d like to work?
  • Not yet, but I want to be an English translator.
  • That’d be really cool. I’d like to be a translator too, but I don’t think my English is good enough.
  • Don’t worry about that. Your English is better than most of my classmates.
  • Thanks. Where are you going now?
  • I’m going to study at the library. I have to take an exam tomorrow.
  • Me too. How late does the library stay open?
  • I think it’s open until 11:30 PM.
  • OK, Good luck.
  • You too.

  • Hello?
  • Hi Angela, it’s Dan.
  • Hi Dan. How are you?
  • Good.
  • I called you yesterday. Did you get my message?
  • Yes, I was taking a shower when you called. I saw that you called and I tried to call you back, but I think your phone was off.
  • No problem. I wanted to remind you that my friend is getting married next week. You’re still coming to the wedding with me, right?
  • Oh, is that next week?
  • Yes. Did you forget?
  • No, of course not. I already bought them a present.
  • That’s good. I want to invite Megan also. Next time you see her, can you tell her for me.
  • Sure. Does she know your friend?
  • Yes, I think they might have gone to the same college or something like that. I’m not exactly sure how they know each other.
  • Are we all going to drive together?
  • Yes. I’ll pick you up first, and then we’ll go get Megan.

  • As soon as possible. My stomach really hurts.
  • Please wait a moment. I’ll see if the doctor is available.
  • OK.
  • Sorry, he’s with a patient right now. It’s probably going to be about another 30 minutes. Would you mind waiting a little longer?
  • No problem.
  • May I see your insurance card, please?
  • Here you are.
  • Thanks. That’s going to be 25 dollars for today’s visit.
  • Really? I didn’t think it would be that much.
  • I know how you feel.

  • I don’t remember, let me check. Yes, it looks like there’s something here for you.
  • Who’s it from?

  • My hands are dirty. Will you open it for me?
  • What does it say?
  • It says your passport is ready. You can pick it up anytime.
  • Do you think you can drive me there?

  • When you get home, will you send me an email with directions to the party tonight?
  • Sure, no problem.
  • When do you think you’ll get home?

  • Sorry, I can’t hear you.
  • Can you hear me now?

  • Good idea. What are we going to do there?
  • We can lift weights or play basketball.
  • I like to play basketball. Are you good at it?
  • Not really, but I like to play. I use to play a lot when I was in school, but now there’s no time.
  • I know what you mean. I used to play soccer a lot. Do you think we can play soccer there?
  • No, there’s not enough room. I think it’s better if we play outside.
  • OK, maybe we can go play soccer later this afternoon.
  • It’s too cold outside today. Let’s wait until the weather gets a little warmer.
  • OK.
