A: Look, Jimmy’s report came today.
B:Let’s have a look. What is this? Where are all [wow 我听错] the grades?
A: He’s in the third grade Sam! You see under each subject that he is being taught in school, he receives a mark from one to three. A one means
his achievement or work is excellent. Here in Science for example he got a two, which means its satisfactory.
B: What about here in physical education?
A: He got a three here which means it’s unsatisfactory. We should work on that with him.
B: So confusing! In my day we got an A or B if we were doing well and if we failed an exam we would get an F!
