- Learn the grammar with the notes
Todd: Hello. Are you the new teacher?
Natalie: I am, yes. My name's Natalie. What's your name?
Todd: I'm Todd. Nice to meet you.
Natalie: Nice to meet you, too.
Todd: Welcome to the school.
Natalie: Thank you.
Todd: What is your morning schedule?
Natalie: First period, I teach Math.
Todd: So do I. I teach Math first period, too.
Natalie: Oh, cool. After that, for second period, I teach French.
Todd: You speak French?
Natalie: I do. Oui Oui.
Todd: That's great. Well, I speak some Japanese, so I teach Japanese second period.
Natalie: Oh, that's so cool. I wish I spoke Japanese.
Todd: Yeah, but my Japanese is not very good.
Natalie: Oh.
Todd: But I'm the only teacher that speaks Japanese, so I teach Japanese.
Natalie: Maybe you could teach me one day.
Todd: Maybe, but I don't know much. How about third period? What do you teach third period?
Natalie: Third period, I teach English.
Todd: Ah. I teach English, too. Our schedules are very similar.
Natalie: I know, although it is my first day. I'm a little nervous.
Todd: What about the afternoon schedule? What do you teach fourth period?
Natalie: Fourth period, I think I have Physics.
Todd: Oh, you teach Physics?
Natalie: Yeah. I love Physics. Do you teach Physics?
Todd: No, I don't teach Physics, but I teach Math. I teach Math fourth period.
Natalie: Oh. What do you teach in fifth period?
Todd: In fifth period, that's the sports period. I am the cross-country coach.
Natalie: Oh. I have sports, too, but I'm the coach for swimming.
Todd: Oh, really? Are you a good swimmer?
Natalie: I think I'm a really good swimmer. How about you?
Todd: I can swim, but I'm not a good swimmer. I like running.
Natalie: Oh, I hate running. How far do you run?
Todd: Well, for the class, usually we run 5K every day.
Natalie: Wow! 5K. Sixth period, I hear that's our teaching hours.
Todd: Yeah. Sixth period, we are in the classroom, but the students are free. They can do what they want. But students can come to class and ask questions.
Natalie: Oh, cool. Do lots of students come and ask questions?
Todd: Yeah. Some students come, but not too many.
Natalie: Oh, okay.
Todd: Well, this is your first day and your first week, so maybe the job will be a little crazy. But I think after your second or third week, the job will be very, very easy.
Natalie: I hope so. I'm really excited to meet the students. They seem great.
Todd: Oh, I think the students will like you a lot.
Natalie: Oh, I hope so, too. Maybe if you have some time, you could give me a tour of the school?
Todd: Sure. I'd love to.
Natalie: Great. Thanks.
