lesson 03 ted's day at school

ted tells his parents he did poorly on his chemistry test. they tell him he needs to get serious and study more.

susan: how was your day at school today, ted?

ted: bad. i had a chemistry test, and i blew it!

susan: maybe if you didn't cut class so often, you'd do better.

bob: that's right, son. stop slacking off and start hitting the books!

ted: but i can't stand chemistry class. besides, it's a lost cause. that class is way over my head.

susan: you need to buckle down.

ted: when i'm a famous musician, people won't give a hoot about my knowledge of atoms and molecules.

bob: that's beside the point.

susan: we know you have your heart set on going to new york university.

bob: and you don't stand a chance of getting in there with such poor grades!
