Catching Up After Class
LINDA: Hey! How did your physics exam go?
FRANK: Not bad, thanks. I’m just glad it’s
over! How about you … how’d your presentation go?
LINDA: Oh, it went really well. Thanks for
helping me with it!
FRANK: No problem. So … do you feel like
studying tomorrow for our math exam?
LINDA: Yeah, sure! Come over around 10:00,
after breakfast.
FRANK: All right. I’ll bring my notes. |

Conversation Notes |
- Hey! is a friendly expression meaning “hello.”
- How did your physics exam go? is a way of saying “How
was your physics exam?”
- I’m just glad … Notice the stress on “glad.” “Just” is
used for emphasis before an adjective here.
- How about you … Notice the intonation falls here because
the speaker is going to follow it up with a detailed question.
- How’d your presentation … Notice the contraction for
“How did” sounds like /howdj/ and “your” sounds like /yer/.
- Do you feel like here has the meaning of “do you want
to.” Notice “do you feel like” is followed by an “-ing” verb (studying).
- Come over here has the meaning of “come to my house.”
- Notes. Students take notes about what the teacher says
during a lecture.
