[speaker002:] I have already known that. I didn't get the scholarship, right?
[speaker001:] Yes. The board was favorably impressed with your application, but the competition was very fierce.
[speaker002:] Can you help me? You know I do need the scholarship.
[speaker001:] I'm afraid I can't I advise you to try again next year.
[speaker002:] Thank you. I will.
