Your child brings home a note from her classroom teacher inviting you to attend a parent-teacher conference next Monday evening. She mentions that since it is report card time, she has invited all parents to come and discuss their children's progress.

      A : Good evening, Miss Clarke. I'm Sonya's father. I'm sorry my wife couldn't come this evening.
      B: Thank you for coming. I've got Sonya's work displayed here on her desk.
      A : I'm very pleased with her progress. Thanks to you, Miss Clarke.
      B: You can see from her report card that her English has greatly improved, and her spelling is also getting much better. She is doing very well. Do you have any questions?
      A : No, I don't think so.
      B: Do look around at the displays and help yourself to some coffee.

      你的孩子回家時帶了張她班主任給你的便條，邀請你下星期一晚上參加教師家長會談，她的班主任提到由於現在派成績的時候，便邀請所有家長到校，討論孩子們的進展。

      甲：晚安，克拉克老師。我是桑婭的爸爸。對不起，我太太今晚不能來。
      乙：多謝你到來。我已將桑婭的功課擺放在她的桌子上。
      甲：我們很滿意她的進展，謝謝你，克拉克老師。
      乙：從她的成績表你可看到她的英文已進步很多；她的拼字也越越好，她的表現非常好。你有什麼問題想問嗎？
      甲：沒有。
      乙：請隨便到處看看擺放的功課，如喝咖啡請自便。
