Suggested Answer Key
Adam: Miss Yates!
Miss Yates: Yes, Adam?
Adam: I just wanted to apologise for my
behaviour in class earlier.
Miss Yates: You mean about not paying
attention to a single word I said?
Adam: I’m sorry. I don’t know why I kept talking
all the time. I realise that I made it impossible
for the other students to concentrate on the
lesson.
Miss Yates: Yes, it is hard to study when
there’s a lot of noise in the class!
Adam: I promise I’ll try to listen better in future.
Miss Yates: That would be helpful. You know,
you could do well in the exam if you tried a
little harder.
Adam: Do you really think so?
Miss Yates: Of course, I do. You’re a smart
boy, Adam.
Adam: Thanks, Miss. See you tomorrow.
Miss Yates: Remember your promise!
Adam: I will!
