The Strasburgs are at a parent-teacher conference.

M: Mother　　F: Father　　T: Teacher

T: Thank you for taking time out of your busy schedules to meet with me.

M: Billy's education is of the highest priority for both of us.

T: That's good to hear. You'll be glad to know that Billy is a very bright boy. His test scores are quite good, and he always completes his homework on time.

F: We always have him show us his homework before he goes to bed.

T: However, he's having a bit of trouble in English class.

M: Is there anything we can do to help him?

T: I'm of the opinion that he lacks self-confidence, so you might want to try having him read out loud to you. Also, getting him a tutor wouldn't hurt, either.

F: Thanks. We'll take your advice into consideration.

史崔斯柏格夫婦出席親師座談會。

老　師：感謝你們在百忙之中抽空來與我見面。

媽　媽：對我們兩個來說比利的教育是最重要的事。

老　師：很高興聽到您這麼說。你們應該會很高興聽到比利是個十分聰明的小男生。他的考試成績相當不錯，而且總是按時完成作業。

爸　爸：我們總會要他在睡前讓我們看他作業寫完了沒有。

老　師：不過，他在英文課遇到了一些麻煩。

媽　媽：有什麼我們可以協助的地方嗎？

老　師：我認為他缺乏自信，所以也許你們可以試著讓他把課文大聲唸出來給你們聽。此外，幫他請一個家教也無妨。

爸　爸：謝謝。我們會好好考慮您所建議的事。
