2. Mother: John, It's time to go to school.
John: I know, mum, but I don't like school and classes are boring.
Mother: I know what you mean, dear, but I do want you to
graduate.
John: Why do I have to graduate? What's the point? I know lots
of people who don't like studying.
Mother: I know what you mean, dear, but it seems to me that it's
better to graduate than not graduate. Many people who studied
hard at school and got good school records became successful.
John: Like who?
Mother: Well, let's see, for examples, engineers, doctors, nurses,
teachers, actors and more.
John: What did they learn in school?
Mother: I'm not sure, John, but they studied hard.
3. John: You don't know, mother, do you? Any case, I don't want to
be a president, or famous or what.
Mother: Dear, what do you want to be when you become an
adult?
John: Don't know yet, want to be kind, loved by everybody,
especially beautiful girls.
Mother: I know what you mean, love affairs are very exciting and
fun but in order to have them you need to study very hard.
John: What do I have to study for that?
Mother: I'm not sure, John, let me think ... I have a great idea.
Please talk to your teacher next time you see him.
John: Ok, I will. By the way, mother, what did you study at school?
Mother: That's a very good question, dear, I'm not sure I can
answer that but it was fun to go because there were a lot of
handsome boys who chased me. I was very busy.
4. John: Mother, don't misunderstand me, I want to be loved by
everybody not just girls.
Mother: Oh, I'm so sorry, you're wonderful, always thinking
about others. It's a great ambition and I know you'll graduate
one day.
John: I know, mother, and I will now study well.
