An international student has been asked to see her advisor(指导教师). The advisor has something very important to discuss with the student. — You wanted to see me? — That's right. We need to have a serious talk. — 1 — Your attendance-or rather, lack of it. — OK, so I'm absent a few times … — A few times? I've been told you've missed six out of eight times in two different classes! That's really setting yourself up to fail. — Oh, come on. 2 — But they're also required. You're about to be in big trouble. — What's the trouble of missing some classes? — It's that you're here on a student visa. — 3 — So if you don't attend class regularly, you won't be a full-time student, which your visa requires. — 4 Turn me into the Immigration Police? — Oh, of course I'll have to report you if you continue missing your class, but I'm going to do something else first. — 5 A. What do you mean by that? B. What are you going to do? C. About what? D. I beg your pardon? E. Is that so? F. I won't miss class any more. G. Those classes are really boring! |
