| (P: Patrick and M: Mike are talking on campus.) |
| P: |
Hey Mike, how was your test this morning? |
| M: |
Hi, Pat. I think I blew it. I should have done better. |
| P: |
Well, it's too late to lock the stable after the horse has been stolen. |
| M: |
I guess you're right. How was yours? |
| P: |
I could only answer two out of five questions on my economics test. |
| M: |
Talk about the pot calling the kettle black! |
| P: |
I had done my best to prepare for the test, but I just had bad luck. The questions on the test weren't very consistent with what I had studied.
|
| M: |
It sounds like you just didn't study well enough. But unlike you, I accept full responsibility for my failure because my teacher was very clear about what was going to be on the test. |
| P: |
So, what was your problem then? Were you falling asleep during the test?
|
| M: |
Of course not! I was sitting right in front of the monitor. She kept looking at me as if I were trying to cheat. |
| P: |
I don't think that's what she thought about you. You get people's attention because you are a foreigner.
|
| M: |
Well anyway, she made me feel uncomfortable. |
| P: |
Our attendance and class performance will also be counted in determining our final grades. I hope our teachers will also consider our daily effort when they compute the final scores.
|
| M: |
Knock on wood. |
