英语博客:ESL Podcast 730 – Waiting For Exam Results(在线收听

  Joel: Did it come?
  Susanne: No, it’s not in today’s mail. Why do I bother, anyway? I know it’s a foregone conclusion. I’ve failed.
  Joel: That’s bull! I know you passed. You’re just on tenterhooks waiting around for the results to arrive and you’re psyching yourself out.
  Susanne: No, I’m not.
  Joel: Don’t you remember that when you came home after taking the exam, you thought you had aced it?
  Susanne: I did, but that was before I started thinking about all of the questions I got wrong. Then, I thought it was a toss up whether I passed or not. Now that I’ve had even more time to think about it, I’m sure I biffed it.
  Joel: See what I mean? You’ve been psyching yourself out for weeks. You studied really hard and I have no doubt that you passed with flying colors. All right, you’re not going to hear today, so let’s get your mind off of the exam, okay?
  Susanne: All right. How?
  Joel: You can help me study for the exam. I’m taking it at the next administration. I have no intention of bombing it or even squeaking by by the skin of my teeth – like some people.
  Susanne: Very funny. Okay, so maybe I’m psyching myself out – a little bit. Okay, I’m game. Where do we begin?
  Joel: With all of the ones you thought you got wrong.
  Susanne: What?!
  Joel: There’s no sense wasting all that worrying. And if you did fail it, you’ll need to get ready to take it again.
  Susanne: Gee, thanks!
