Focussed Listening: Bored in Class *Scribt*

Female student: Mm.!This coffee is really strong. I like it that way.

Male student: So do I.

Female student: all, during my last class I was thinking about coming
here and could almost taste the coffee.

Male student: Sounds like it wasn't too exciting.

Female student:I was bored to death. I'm in that class only because it's a
requirement. So I have to stick it out. The problem is the professor doesn't
know how to spark our interest. She just walks in and lectures. There's no
discussion.

Male student: What a drag. Don't people ask questions?

Female student: Oh, yeah, once in a blue moon. But I always see an awful
lot of people doodling and I can tell their minds are wandering. Do you
have any classes like that?

Male student: I have only one big lecture class. World history and the
professors the best. It's so interesting. I'm always on the edge of my seat
and when we have discussions, the room is filled with electricity.

Female student: I'm jealous. Too bad. I already took history.

Male student: You know, one day it dawned on me that I was lucky to be
in her class because I found myself thinking a lot about what she said.
Did you ever have a teacher like that?

Feamle student: I'd have to think about it. I don't know.

Male student: You should come with me to class sometime just to see
what I mean.

Female student: Sounds like you're in love with her Steve.

Male student: Very funny. She could be my grandmother anyway. I guess

what it really comes down to is her enthusiasm for the subject. She just
loves history. I remember at the beginning of the semester I was fooling
around a lot and not taking anything in school very seriously. I bombed
the first history test but then I buckled down because I started really
enjoying school, especially her class.

Female student: You've got me really curious about this teacher. I think
I'll take you up on your idea to visit your class. When does it meet?
