Now, after settling in her studying can finally begin.

Mary, it's time for your first lecture.

But you look like a bundle of nerves.

Well, I I am a bit nervous.

I couldn't sleep last night.

Don't worry.

You're not alone.

Everyone's in the same position.

Everything will be fine.

Good luck.

Okay.

Well, it's time to go in.

Ah, Mary.

We meet again.

How's your head today?

Better.

Thanks.

I see you managed.

Teoh, clean your shoes.

Yes, I did.

They still smell a bit, but I'll survive.

Shall we get down to business?

Business studies now that most of us are here?

Yes, of course.

Oh, uh, sorry I'm late.

I went to the wrong room.

The first rule of business is punctuality as TC.

Halliburton once said punctuality is the sole off business.

Now.

What is business on?

Why do we study it?

Business is on economic system.

A company transact business activity.

What's he talking about?

Having a clothes.

Have you got a spare.

Penned, by the way.

Look, you're gonna have to ask him to explain me.

What was that matter?

Oh, nothing.

Sorry.

I think Daniels and Nervous wreck.

He's not going to help you, so I will.

If something doesn't make sense, put your hand up and say, Excuse me.

Could you say that again, please?

Or I don't understand.

Can you explain that again, please?

Or maybe Could you explain that in a different way, please?

Okay.

Yes, Mary.

What is it, Professor?

Not It's all very interesting, but could you say that again, please?

Sorry.

I don't understand what you mean.

Oh, I'd appreciate it if you could explain it in a different way.

Please.

I think what professor not means is you have to have a soul to be in business.

Know Daniel, isn't it?

What I mean is, business is away.

Daniels got a nerve pretending he knows it'll.

Perhaps it's just nervous energy that makes him such an idiot anyway.

Well done, Mary.

You spoke up and asked for clarification.

It's a good idea to ask if you don't understand something.

Don't pretend you know something when you don't like Daniel did.

Here's a reminder of the questions Mary asked.

Could you say that again, please?

Sorry.

I don't understand what you mean.

Could you explain that in a different way?

Please?

Now the lecture is over.

I wonder if things are a bit clearer for Mary.

Thanks, Professor.

Everything's much clearer now.

Well, I recommend you get my book from the library.

Mind your own business.

Oh, and Mary, I hold a seminar every Monday at the local pub.

Should you wish to join us sometime?

Yes, Professor.

Thanks.

I will.

You can call me Robert.

Okay, Robert, it's a date.

Oh, it's you.

Well, don't forget to bring your notes.

No, My note.

I left them in the classroom.
