[speaker001:] you look better today. How did your test go?
[speaker002:] much better than it did yesterday.
[speaker001:] did you pass?
[speaker002:] I not only passed my test, but I aced it! I'm so happy!
[speaker001:] you should be. You worked really hard last night preparing for it.
[speaker002:] thanks for helping me with it. If you hadn't encouraged me to do my best, I wouldn't have ever been able to pass.
[speaker001:] you don't have to thank me. It's just a part of my job as your counsellor.
[speaker002:] did you always do well at school?
[speaker001:] no, in fact, I was terrible at taking exams.
[speaker002:] really?
[speaker001:] sure, but my teachers always encouraged me to do the best that I could and that helped me a lot. When are your final exams?
[speaker002:] I'll get my finals in two months.
[speaker001:] when do you plan on studying for those exams?
[speaker002:] most students just cram the night forehead.
[speaker001:] do you think that's a good idea?
[speaker002:] no, I think I should study a little bit at a time, starting a few weeks before the exam.
[speaker001:] that sounds like a good idea. What are you going to do if you have any questions while you're studying?
[speaker002:] I'll go and talk to my professor or a learning support assistant.
[speaker001:] it sounds like you've learned something useful this year!
