Remedial Education Program

The school administration is requiring all students to attend the weekly remedial education program from October to November. This has been implemented due to the decreasing percentage of the school’s passing rate in national examinations.
|
|
The program will be held every Saturday from 1 PM to 5 PM. The subjects covered in this program are Math, English, and Science.
|
|
Students should get their forms from their homeroom teachers before going home and have them signed by their parents by Friday.

Female:
|
Hello. |
|
Male:
|
Oh, hello. Have you seen the latest announcement from the school administration? |
|
Female:
|
Yes, I have. We need to get a form from our teacher. |
|
Male:
|
I don’t think the program is necessary. First of all, they want every student to attend the program, right? |
|
Female:
|
Yes. That’s what they said in the announcement. |
|
Male:
|
They should not require all students to attend that program. Some students have high grades and can pass every examination. Shouldn’t the students with low examination scores be the only ones to attend the program? |
|
Female:
|
I think they are just concerned with the school’s current academic standing. |
|
Male:
|
They should also consider their students’ schedules. Most students are part of school clubs. How are we going to do our school club activities if they will require us to attend the program every Saturday? |
|
Female:
|
You’re right. We have to do something. |
|
Male:
|
Well, we can’t do so much about it for now. But we can try to reach out to our teachers and ask for their help. |

Building Construction

This is to inform all school club members that the school will be closed during weekends starting next month. The school will be under construction as we will add an additional building within the campus. All construction activities will be held on weekends from July to November. All students are forbidden to be here at all costs to avoid any accident. All school clubs are permitted to practice outside the campus if supervised by a teacher.

READ

Female:
|
Good morning. Have you seen the announcement? |
|
Male:
|
Yes, I have. I don’t think it’s a good idea. |
|
Female:
|
Why don’t you think so? |
|
Male:
|
First of all, the construction is from July to November. That’s too long. Students can’t practice much on weekdays because we are already tired after class. |
|
Female:
|
That’s true. |
|
Male:
|
Not allowing students to practice inside the campus for four months during weekends is very inconvenient. Club leaders will have to look for a safe place for club members to practice. A good place to practice might require a big amount of money, right? |
|
Female:
|
True. Those kind of expenses will be a big burden to students. |
|
Male:
|
Also, having a teacher supervise us every time we practice outside will be difficult. What if the teachers already have plans for weekends? Then, we won’t be able to practice outside. |
|
Female:
|
You’re right. Maybe we can ask the school administration about this matter. |
|
Male:
|
We can’t do much for now. But I hope that they will find a better way for school club members to practice. |
