CD1: Track 3: ----Hi, Fred, thanks for coming in. ----No problem. What did you want to see me about? ----Well, I saw your grade report. And there were some problems on it. ----You mean my history class? ----Yes, exactly. You do understand there is problem in your history class, don’t you? What is your problem? You are doing fairly well in other classes, but in history, you, frankly, are not doing very well at all. Your grades in other classes showed you’d capable of doing good work. What’s the problem in history? ----Well, history is so early in the morning. ----It’s at 9 o’clock. That’s not so early. ----It’s seems early to me. ----So, set you at 9 o’clock. This brings about question, by the way. You do get up and go to history class, don’t you? ----Usually. ----Usually? Since the class you are not doing well, you should be there all the time. ----I’ll try. ----And take a seat in the front of the class near the professor so you can get involved in the class. ----What is such a big class. You have to get earlier to get front seat. ----Well, maybe you should try getting there earlier. ----I’ll try. ----And get there earlier for every class. ----I’ll try that too. ----Now, is that the only problem in your class that you missed classes sometimes and get there later other times. ----No, not exactly. ----What else is your problem? ----Well, I didn’t, I didn’t due to win the exam. ----And, what was your problem do you think? ----I studied for the exam. I really did. But there are a lot of questions in exam walked from the textbook. In chapters were covered in the exam. At least have questions on exam walked from the book. ----Do you understand why? ----I think there must be a lot of questions from the lectures, stuffs wasn’t cover in the text. ----Are you sure? ----No, but I think so. ----Well, maybe you should check with the professor and found out if that is the case. ----Ok. ----And if it is, maybe you should concentrate on taking good notes during the lectures. ----Ok. ----And of course you should be in class all the time to take good notes. ----That for sure. ----Ok, so check back with me in a couple weeks and let me know how you handling this. ----I’ll do that.
