In this lesson, we will see commonly mentioned topics during parent teacher meetings.

在本課中，我們將看到家長會上經常提到的話題。

Mr. George. How’s my son Samuel doing in his studies?

喬治先生我兒子塞繆爾學習怎麼樣了？

Samuel is a brilliant student, Mr. Peter! Who guides him at home?

塞繆爾是個出色的學生，彼得先生！誰在家裡指導他？

hardly get time to assist him with his homework. My wife does help him though.

幾乎沒有時間輔導他做作業。不過我妻子還是會幫他。

He’s always ahead of other students during class. As he is getting good guidance, I’m sure he will achieve great things.

上課時，他總是走在其他同學的前面。由於他得到了很好的指導，我相信他一定會取得很好的成績。

Mr. George, I trust you and this institution to keep getting the best out of him.

喬治先生，我相信你和這個機構會繼續讓他發揮出最佳水準。

We sure will, Mr. Peter.

我們一定會的，彼得先生。

Mrs. Miley, we must figure out what’s going on with your son.

麥利太太，我們必須搞清楚你兒子到底怎麼了。

Rick? Is he not doing well, Mr. George?

裡克？他過得不好嗎，喬治先生？

I’m afraid, he isn’t. I think he needs some serious guidance at home. Do you look after him personally?

恐怕他不是。我覺得他在家裡需要一些認真的指導。你親自照顧他嗎？

Yes! I sure do. I always make him to do his homework!

我當然會。我總是讓他做作業！

The thing is he breaks into a fight with students every now and then. Some teachers even reported that he vandalised school property!

問題是，他時不時就會和學生打架。有些老師甚至報告說他破壞學校財產！

What?! Why on Earth would he do that?! I always gave him whatever he wanted.

什麼？他到底為什麼要這麼做？ 他要什麼我都給他

Don’t take this the wrong way but perhaps you shouldn’t have, Mrs. Miley.

別誤會，也許你不該這麼說，麥莉太太。

I’ll remember that, Mr. George. And I’ll talk to him. Please accept my apologies on his behalf.

我會記住的 喬治先生我會跟他談的 請接受我代表他的歉意

Mrs. Justin, I went through my daughter Irin’s workbook the other day. It’s almost blank!

賈斯汀夫人，前幾天我翻看了我女兒伊琳的作業本。它幾乎是空白的！

Oh Irin?! But every time I look, she’s writing. How can that be?

伊琳？但每次我看的時候 她都在寫作怎麼可能？

There are only some funny sketches on it. Would you please keep a closer eye on her?

上面只有一些有趣的小品。你能幫我好好看著她嗎？

This is a bit embarrassing. Please accept my sincere apologies. I will be more careful. And you know what? Irin always sits in the last row...

這有點尷尬。請接受我誠摯的歉意。我會更加小心的你知道嗎？伊琳總是坐在最後一排...

I think she’ll do better if you make her sit closer to you.

如果你讓她坐得離你近一點，我想她會做得更好。

That’s exactly what I was thinking! Don’t worry, from next class on, that’s what I’ll do.

我也是這麼想的！別擔心，從下節課開始，我會這麼做的。

I appreciate it. Thank you.

我很感激。謝謝。
