| Johanna | So Yuliana, you had your first class today, right? How did it go? |
| Yuliana | Well, I suppose you could give me an A for effort. |
| Johanna | It sounds like it didn’t go as well as you expected. |
| Yuliana | No,it didn’t. At the end of the class we had a practice quiz. I looked at my test paper and I just drew a blank. |
| Johanna | Don’t worry. It was only your first class. |
| Yuliana | I know, but we sure covered a lot of ground in just one class. Not only that, we are expected to crank out a paper every week. I don’t know if I can do it. |
| Johanna | Don’t worry, I’m sure that once you are adapted to the pace of the class, it will be as easy as abc! |
| Yuliana | Thanks for your support. |
| Johanna | Don’t mention it. Hey, why don’t we go for a coffee and I’ll help you review some of your material? |
| Yuliana | Great idea. Thanks! |
