Boy: Yeah, me too.This is the second summer.'ll have to take classes. I gotta go now, my Shakespeare class starts in twenty minutes.
简析:
这个对话主要还是两个going to be teacher的学生的对话,估计目前的状态在研究生,女生说了她要拿master degree,所有他们作为同期生,现在的身份应该是under graduate。他们都有谈到选课的情况,男生提到了一个诗歌的club,他希望女生参加,但很遗憾,sunday night她要doing homework,没空。而这个club的活动一般都是每个月的最后一个星期天,由学生或professor来read some poems,来者并不一定要读,直接在那里听也行。
男生有提到他要做的事情太多了,比如writing a class for junior high,所以他必须要辞职掉他咖啡店的兼职。然后他还提及summer还要上选修课,女生也要上,不然她会缺6个学分,she has no choice but to do it。
