W:You are Billy's father, aren't you?
M:Yes, I am.He brought a note home saying that you wanted to see me.
W:Sorry for all the trouble, but I'm worried about Billy's schoolwork.
M:Oh? Didn't he do his homework again?
W:Yes, he did it.But I think he needs to work harder.He just has to do better work or he'll have to stay in Junior Two next year while his friends go on to Junior Three.
M:That wouldn't be good.I don't quite understand this.His brother in Senior Two has never had any trouble.
W:Let me show you some of Billy's work.His math and physics work is fine and his biology is very good.But look at his English and Chinese work.
M:The scores are very low, aren't they? Here's a 45 and a couple of 50s.
W:Yes, his average is only 56.That's the lowest in the class.
M:Hmm, it's going to take some effort on his part now to keep up with his classmates.Thank you very much for letting me know.I'll see what I can do at home to help him.
W:You're welcome.I hope we can both help him improve.
