M: It's our maths teacher. She always keeps us in class until ten past ten. W: Doesn't she know that you're supposed to get out at ten? M: I guess so. But she never looks at her watch. She just keeps talking. W: Don't the students complain about it? I would say something. M: No. Everybody is too polite. W: Well, you could try and talk to her. M: Maybe. But I'm afraid she might feel hurt. W: Well,it all depends on how and when you say it. If you tell her about it in a friendly way when she's not busy, she might be thankful. She might even ask you to remind her of the time in the future. M: Really? That would be wonderful. Thanks for your advice. What was said before this conversation?
