- Hi! How are things?

- Hi! Not very good actually but thanks for asking.

- Not very good? What's the matter?

- I failed my English exam and now I have to resit it.

- Oh, poor thing! How much time do you have?

- One week.

- Oh, lucky you! A friend of mine had only a couple of days in the same situation.

- Yeah. I am studying hard now to pass the exam. I have lots of different books and my parents paid my lessons with a tutor for this week so I hope I'll get a good mark.

- Good for you!

- I had the same experience with my Maths exam last year. I also had to pass it twice.

- How did it go?

- Perfectly! I also did my best to prepare for the exams and got a good mark.

- Oh dear. I wish you good luck.

- Thanks.
