Conversation 4 – Why
Man: Ms. Wilson, can you explain to me why I got a low score on my paper?
Woman: Well, the main reason is that you did not follow the topic. Did you read the instructions?
Man: Yes, but I didn't like it, so I wrote about why I love football so much.
Woman: Well, that is why you got a low grade. You have to follow the rules.
Man: Yeah, but why can't I write about what I want to write about.
Woman: Well, for one, it is not fair for other students.
Man: OK, I got it. I see your point.
Woman: For what it's worth, I did enjoy reading it.
Man: Thanks, but about my grade, can I rewrite the paper?
Woman: Yes, but you will need to get it to me by Friday.
Man: Thank you. I appreciate it.
Woman: Well, I look forward to your new paper. Why don't you write about why animals rights are important?
Man: I will. Thanks so much!
Woman: Why students don't follow the rules is beyond me!
