Students’ dialogues
A. ABad mark
Teacher (John) - Student (Panos)
Panos: Oh, my God! Oh, my God!
John: Hey, relax! Take 10 deep breaths and tell me what happened, Panos.
Panos: I didn’t write well in a test! I can’t stand getting bad marks!
John: In which subject?
Panos: Geography
John: How bad?
Panos: C-
John: I agree with you! I would feel like you, too!
Don’t worry! Next time you write better. You had better study more
Panos: Thank you! I hope to do better next time.
John: But if you write bad again or even worse… you shouldn’t feel so angry. It isn’t good for
you.
Panos: Yes, you are right. I will try to study more.
John: Panos, go home and forget about it, ok?
It is not worth worrying about a mark.
Panos: Yes, sir!

Filio: Where were you yesterday, Christina?
Christina: I was in the city centre with my friends…
Filio: Oh, really? I heard that you went to the concert and not to the centre as you
told me.
Christina: Yeah, but nothing bad happened…
Filio: What? Of course, something bad happened. You lied to me!
Christina: Mum… listen… I met my friends in the centre but some girls suggested
going to the concert. I am sorry not calling you.
Filio: Look, if this happens again, I will not let you go out for 4 weeks!
Christina: I promise to call you next time, mum!
Filio: But you are not allowed to go out this evening!
Christina: But mum…!!!
Filio: No! You had better stay in and do your homework!
