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。你看起來(lái)很苦惱，怎么了？
李明：這周六咱們班要開(kāi)家長(zhǎng)會(huì)，我很擔(dān)心。
史蒂文：為什么？我們那天還可以早點(diǎn)放學(xué)呢。
李明：我上次考試考得不好。如果爸爸知道，他會(huì)打我的。
史蒂文：我真不敢相信。我父母從來(lái)不打我。 李明：你知道的，我爸爸脾氣很暴躁。
史蒂文：你可以向老師求助。
李明：好主意。
