A: I flunked the Freshman English class last semester. Does that mean that I can’t continue with the class next semester?
B: Let’s have a look. Hmm, this class goes for the whole academic year, so you can still take the class next semester, but you will need to retake the one you failed last semester.
A: Do you mean that in the sophomore year I will have to take the first year English class together with freshman students? I don’t like the sound of that: how embarrassing!

B: Oh, it’s not that bad! You might even meet someone. This is how my senior classmate met his girlfriend.

B: 哎呀沒關係啦！搞不好你會有豔遇！我學長就是因為這樣才認識他女朋友的！
