Steven： Hi, LI Ming. You look upset. What's the matter?
Li Ming: There will be a parents' meeting in our class this Saturday and I am worried about it.
Steven： Why? We can leave school earlier that day.
Li Ming: I didn't do well in last exam. If my father knows it, he will beat me up.
Steven: I can't believe it. My parents never beat me.
Li Ming: You know that my father is irritable.
Steven： You can ask the teacher for help.
Li Ming: Good idea.

史蒂文：嗨，李明。你看起来很苦恼，怎么了？
李明：这周六咱们班要开家长会，我很担心。
史蒂文：为什么？我们那天还可以早点放学呢。
李明：我上次考试考得不好。如果爸爸知道，他会打我的。
史蒂文：我真不敢相信。我父母从来不打我。 李明：你知道的，我爸爸脾气很暴躁。
史蒂文：你可以向老师求助。
李明：好主意。
