FRANK AND ALICE
| F: | Hello. |
|---|---|
| A: | Hi! |
| F: | My name's Frank. What's yours? |
| A: | Alice. Nice to meet you, Frank. |
| F: | Where do you come from, Alice? |
| A: | I come from Sweden. And you? |
| F: | I'm from America. |
| A: | Oh, that's nice. What do you do, Frank? |
| F: | I'm a teacher. |
| A: | What do you teach? |
| F: | I teach English. |
| A: | Wonderful! |
| F: | Why is it wonderful, Alice? |
| A: | Because I'm a student of English. |
| F: | How many lessons do you have a week? |
| A: | Five. I have a lesson every day. |
| F: | That's too good. |
| A: | Yes! Well, not so good. I don't like my lessons much. |
| F: | Why not? |
| A: | My teacher is not good. I don't like her. |
| F: | What's wrong with her? |
| A: | I'm afraid she is not a real teacher. She doesn't know how to teach. We work only with the textbook. It's so boring. Exercises, exercises, stupid exercises. I need some conversation. And something that I can really use. |
| F: | That's bad! |
| A: | I want to quit my English lessons with her and find a new teacher. |
| F: | Do you know anyone? |
| A: | No!… Well, I do actually. You! |
| F: | Me? |
| A: | Teach me. Teach me, please. |
| F: | Well, why not? OK. When is our first lesson? |
| A: | Let's start right now. |
