Speaking English Like an American -- Lesson 3
Ted tells his parents he did poorly on his Chemistry test. They tell him he needs to get serious and study more.
Susan: How was your day at school today, Ted? Ted: Bad. I had a Chemistry test, and I blew it. Susan: Maybe if you didn't cut class so often, you'd do better. Bob: That's right, son. Stop slacking off and start hitting the books. Ted: But I can't stand Chemistry class. Besides, it's a lost cause. That class is way over my head. Susan: You need to buckle down. Ted: When I'm a famous musician, people won't give a hoot about my knowledge of atoms and molecules. Bob: That's beside the point. Susan: We know you have your heart set on going to New York University. Bob: And you don't stand a chance of getting in there with such poor grades.
