 THE VIDEO DIALOGUE
JACK: "Hi, Mia. Have you had Ms. Johnson teaching English in your class yet?"

MIA: "Yes, I have. I have her this semester. Why do you ask?"

JACK: "She will teach in my class next semester, and I've heard mixed things about her. What's your
opinion?"

MIA: "Honestly, she's one of the best teachers I've ever had. She's so passionate about English and
makes the material come alive. Plus, she always makes time for students who need help."

JACK: "That's great to hear. I really hope I get a good teacher next semester."

MIA: "Yeah, the right teacher can make a huge difference in your experience. Who's been your
favorite teacher so far?"

JACK: "Definitely Mr. Lee. He's my math teacher, and he makes even the most complicated equations
seem easy. Plus, he's always cracking jokes and makes the classroom a fun environment."
Difficult Words MIA: "I've heard good things about him too. By the way, do you have a teacher that you don’t really
like?”

JACK: “Yes, I do. He’s Mr. Tony, one of our Biology teachers. He is an absolutely fierce teacher. I heard
that he won’t listen to any excuse if his students don’t do the assignments he’s given.”

MIA: “Yes, that’s true, but it is good for our discipline and building up our attitude, isn’t it? Sometimes
we need a teacher like that.”

JACK: “Yes, sometimes. However, he is our teacher that we must respect too.”

MIA: "Let’s be hoping that we both have great teachers next semester!"
