M: Hello Linda. I’m glad I caught you before class. Did you know about the change in the examination schedule?
W: Change?
M: Yes. The last day of examinations for your group will be December the 2nd instead of November the 29th.
W: Is that definite? We were told they’d be on November the 26th, and then there was a rumor they’d be on December the 1st.
M: The schedule’s gone to the printer. There can be no changes. It’s definitely December the 2nd.
W: That’s relief. I’m going to the US on December the 4th.
M: Are you one of the exchange students?
W: Yeah. I’m really looking forward to studying there. Do you know if their general science courses are anything like ours?
M: Actually all basic general science courses are fairly similar. You’ll find you’re behind in some things and ahead in others. I wouldn’t worry too much about the course. You’ve been doing well on this one. Well, I’ll expect it next week. Now, would you like to hear the details of the timetable?
W: Oh. Yes, please.
M: I’ve just finished putting it on the notice board downstairs. Basically you’ll have four examinations. General Mechanics is in the morning of December the 1st, physics and maths are on the afternoon of the stone day. Communications and English are on the morning of December the 2nd and Earth Science in the afternoon.
