IV. Speaking Out
MODEL 1   You’re just going to have study hard
Nora: Only our first day back at school, and already I feel like I’ve learned¹ a lot.
Chris: Only our first day back at school, and I already feel like I’m up to my ears in homework.
Nora: You’re going to have to hit the books if you want to keep your grades up.
Chris: Tell me about it! I already have two reports, two books reports, a composition, an oral report, and a research project—all due before midterms.
Nora: We could work together. Maybe some of my organized study habit would rub² off on you.
Chris: Better yet, maybe you could do my homework for me.
Nora: Forget it! That would be cheating.
Chris: All right, all right. I have yet to write a term paper. Can you recommend any articles and books? You’d better find me the exact pages where I can find what I want.
Nora: You could borrow ideas from references³, but if you quote without giving the sources, you’re plagiarizing⁴.
Chris: The quiz next week will be a headache. If you don’t help me, I’ll have to prepare some study sheets and hide them in my hand when I take the test.
Nora: Oh, no! If you’re caught, the professor will definitely⁵ give you an F. Probably, you will have to repeat the year.
Chris: All right, I’ll take your advice. The library is going to be my new home, and in the dorm I’ll be burning the midnight oil.
