W: Hi, Jack.How’s it going? Have you just had a class? You look a little tired.
M: Yes. I just finished my listening class. It was a little bit difficult to me. Sometimes I really cannot follow the teacher.

W: Well, I’ve just picked up a schedule today. Let’s... let’s have a look at it. Here it is... They’ve got Singing with Guitar on Monday nights. So I went to this last week.
M: Really’?
W: Yes. It’s quite good fun. They teach you modern and traditional songs.
M: But, I’m not much of a singer.
W: Oh, come on. You should go. It’s OK if you do not sing well. (24)It’d be a good way to practice your English.

W: Usually it starts at 7:00, and kind a lasts about two hours, but I mean, we can always leave earlier--they don’t mind.
M: Oh, that will be great. I can do both.
