lesson C: good question

1: conversation strategy: giving encouraging advice

A:

Now listen:

why is Nella thinking of dropping out of her acting class?

so, how’s your acting class going?

it’s hard to say. it’s fun but I’m not learning much.

well you could look for another class; couldn’t you?

Maybe… the thing is, I like the teacher but she hardly notices me.

she never gives me any feedback.

how can you get her attention?

good question; I wish I knew.

actually, I’m thinking of dropping out.

well before you do that, it would be good to talk with her; wouldn’t it?

I’m not sure I want to know what she thinks.

I mean most of the other students have been acting since they were kids. Do you think if I got an earlier start, I’d be a better actor by now?

that’s a tough one. I don’t know; but you’ve only been in the class a few weeks.

you should at least give it a chance, shouldn’t you?

you’re right I guess I should.
