After Getting Home
Jane：
Home at last. Tonight we have a lot of homework though.
Tom：
Are you saying we don’t have time to watch our favorite show tonight? Jane, you know I really don’t like our teacher all that much. He gives far too much homework. He criticizes me in front of everyone all the time.
Jane：
To tell the truth, I don’t really like him either. He’s kind of boring and not very active. He always looks unhappy too.
Tom：Yes, and he also…
Jane：
Do you think we should be talking about him like this behind his back?
Tom：
Probably not. After all he is our teacher. We should try to find something nice to say. If you can’t say something nice you shouldn’t say anything at all.
Jane：
I absolutely agree. It’s getting dark. We should finish our homework now.
Tom： All right. I want to take a shower first, I’m exhausted.
