純正地道美語第323期(外教講解):家長會
A: Thank you for coming tonight, Mrs. Webber. As a teacher, it's great seeing the kid's parents assist our parent-teacher conference night.
謝謝您晚上能來,韋伯太太。作為老師,很高興您晚上能來參加家長會。B: Of course! I am very interested to know how my child is doing and also get some insight from you as to how he can improve.

嗯。你應該坐在他旁邊幫他複習家庭作業並且輔導他數學,這很重要。我建議他每週有兩天能在放學後參加輔導課程。那樣會幫助很大。B: Thanks a lot! I will definitely do that. Is there anything else?
非常感謝!我一定會這麼做的。還有什麼其他可以做的嗎?A: Um... yes. Here is a notice from our financial department, seems your child's tution is overdue.
嗯……是的,這是我們財政部的通知單,看上去您的孩子的家教期限已經到了。B: Oh yes, I...
哦,是的。我……
