ENGLISH

1. A male and a female student are talking while looking at their class schedule.

2. Choose the male student's schedule of the day of the meeting.

3. We have to have a meeting regarding our next group presentation.

4. Right. When are you free?

5. I come to school on Mondays, Wednesdays and Thursdays.

6. Then either Wednesday or Thursday would work for us both since I am here on Tuesdays,
Wednesdays and Thursdays. How about Thursday afternoon then?

7. On Thursdays I have lectures until the third period. I can make it after the third period's Economics
class, though. But then I have a part-time job from 5 o'clock so I will be available for an hour only.

8. Hmm, that sounds a bit too short. How about Wednesday then?

9. Except for a Modern History class in the second period and an International Law class in the fourth
period I'm free.

10. I see, I have an Asian History in the third period and then I've got a part-time job in the evening.
What about meeting early in the morning and talking until before the second period starts?

11. Well, I am not a morning person. Why don't we meet on Thursday? I will reschedule my part-time
job for another day.

12. OK. Please come to the cafeteria when the class is over.
