Clive:Don't worry about me,because I've re-enrolled for another year, I don't have to be here until this afternoon but I thought I'd come along and help.
Annie:Oh,that's very kind of you,Clive. Maybe you could help me with this elective class timetable. It's for students who need more English practice,like me.
Clive:Of course!Tell me about it. It's on Mondays,and I have to choose which timetable is best for me. There are six to choose form.Here,take a look.
Clive:Oh,I see.Well,what do you need?
Annie:I need everything...but especially conversation practice Well,do you want to go the Conversation class in the morning or afternoon?
Annie:I think the morning would be best for me.
Clive:Fine.So,Grammar and Conversation classes in the morning.
Annie:Grammar?Oh,I can't stand studying grammar!
Clive:Well,in that case,Writing and Conversation in the morning, followed by Pronunciation and Reading in the afternoon.
Annie:I don't think my pronunciation is too bad,do you?
Clive:No,pronunciation is one of your strongest points.
Annie:Yes,but I do need to improve my vocabulary.
Clive:If you attend the Vocabulary class in the afternoon, you should study Grammar in the morning How is your listening ability.
Annie:I always need more listening practice.
Clive:Very well then your best choice would be to attend the Grammar, Writing and Conversation classes in the morning followed by the Reading and Listening classes in the afternoon.
Annie:Do I have to take grammar?
Clive:Well,yes,if you are serious about improving your writing.
Annie:Yes,I suppose you are right. Which class is first in the morning?
