Vicky: Professor Brooks?

Professor: Hello there, um...

Vicky: Vicky. I'm in your English Literature 101 class.

Professor: Ah, right, call me Alan.

Vicky: Could I speak with you?

Professor: Sure, come in and have a seat. What can I help you with?

Vicky: Well, I was sick and missed classes for two weeks, which means I

missed the midterm.

Professor: Oh right, I received your email about that. I will let you take it on

Thursday since you were such a good student last term, unlike Mike who slept

through almost every class.

Vicky: He did not!

Professor: I'm joking, of course. However, I did catch him once or twice. If he

would rest more, he wouldn't be so sleepy.

Vicky: Yeah, he worked late every night.

Professor: Going back to the midterm, did you want to ask me any questions

about it?

Vicky: No, I think I will be okay. Thank you so much, Alan. I'll see you on

Thursday
