In this lesson, we will see commonly mentioned topics during parent teacher meetings.

Mr. George. How’s my son Samuel doing in his studies?

Samuel is a brilliant student, Mr. Peter! Who guides him at home?

hardly get time to assist him with his   homework. My wife does help him though.

He’s always ahead of other students during class. As he is   getting good guidance, I’m sure he will achieve great things.

Mr. George, I trust  you and this institution   to keep getting the best out of him.

Mrs. Miley, we must figure out what’s going on with your son.

I’m afraid, he isn’t. I think he needs some serious   guidance at home. Do you look after him personally?

Yes! I sure do. I always make him to do his homework!

The thing is he breaks into a fight with students every now   and then. Some teachers even reported that he vandalised school property!

What?! Why on Earth would he do that?!   I always gave him whatever he wanted.

Don’t take this the wrong way but perhaps you shouldn’t have, Mrs. Miley.

I’ll remember that, Mr. George. And I’ll talk to him.   Please accept my apologies on his behalf.

Mrs. Justin, I went through my daughter Irin’s workbook the   other day. It’s almost blank!

Oh Irin?! But every time I look, she’s writing. How can that be?

There are only some funny sketches on it. Would   you please keep a closer eye on her?

This is a bit embarrassing. Please accept my sincere apologies. I will be more   careful. And you know what? Irin always sits in the last row...

I think she’ll do better if you make her sit closer to you.

That’s exactly what I was thinking! Don’t worry, from   next class on, that’s what I’ll do.

Samuel won the National Science model exhibition! He said he was under your guidance.

Oh! That’s great news! It brings me nothing but joy!

Being properly guided is important but it was all his   idea. I just helped him creating the model.

He is brilliant! You should take good care of him, Peter!
