The First Day of School
Andrea: What’s wrong, Eric?
Eric: I’m really nervous. I’m always this way on the first day of school.
Andrea: You’re not the only one. It’s hard for me, too. I’m glad we’re taking this class together.
Eric: Do you know anything about the teacher?
Andrea: Uh-huh, a little. Someone told me she gives a lot of homework, and you have to talk a lot in class.
Eric: Oh, no! I’m afraid of talking in front of a lot of people.
Andrea: Oh, don’t worry. Everyone’s afraid at the beginning, but after you get to know the people and make friends…
Eric: It doesn’t get better for me. I’m shy. I have trouble looking at people when I talk, and my hands shake.
Andrea: Look… the teacher’s here. Let’s talk after class.
