W: What grade is your son in now?
M: He skipped ahead one grade and now is in the sixth grade.
W: Does he like to go to school?
M: Not now. I had a talk with his teacher at the PTA meeting and found out that he is tired and sick of study.
W: Why?
M: He felt he is under great pressure. He would rather stay seated in the classroom for the break than go out to play with his classmates.
W: Frankly1 speaking I think you and your wife have been short sighted. You can’t see the woods for the trees.
Dialogue 2.
W: How come you make out so well in your classes?
M: Who? Me? You are kidding. I fool around too.
M: I don’t know. I just listen carefully to what the teacher says, do my homework, and study hard, and so I guess that’s all I have to do.
W: Maybe you are right, Bill. I know you always pay attention in class whenever I see you.
