B: I couldn’t agree with you more. I’m just doing the course to pass the exam. I don’t think that it’s going to help me after
I Leave School.
K: Exactly. And I can’t understand most of the theory. I just learn my notes off by heart.
B: So do me. We should complain to the head teacher.
K: I think that you’re right . I suggest that we see him as soon possible.

K: Good idea. Let’s ask them tomorrow. OK?
B: OK
