till the end of the
lesson
A boy was still
speaking when the
lesson finished.

I asked Paul: “What did you learn:” Pual: “ vocabulary and I finished a picture”
“Was it a communication with the teacher?” Paul:”Rather a monolog
“Did you like the translation part of the lesson?” Paul: “partly as I learn grammar from that.”
“How long did you prepare for the Bridge speaking?” Paul:”I read it before the lesson.”

The teacher complained a lot before the lesson. She was very unwilling to have me in the lesson. She said that Paul will behave like mad as
usual. After the lesson she told them and me as well that this time they were great and cooperated. Normally they do not cooperate and all the
time refuse to work.
