Conversation At School

#Conversation 1

Mr. Anton     : Good morning, teacher.

Mr. Grant       : Good morning, Mr. Anton. Anita has been absent for the last two days. Is she unwell?

Mr. Anton     : She had an accident.

Mr. Grant       : Oh, no! I hope it’s nothing serious.

Mr. Anton     : It is bad. She was hit by a scooter while crossing the road. Her right leg is fractured.

Mr. Grant       : How unfortunate! Is she in a hospital?

Mr. Anton     : No, she’s at home. But she has to remain in bed for a month. So I came to give her leave application.

Mr. Grant       : You must be really upset about it. Please don’t worry about the classes. Anita is a very bright girl. She can easily make up for the classes she misses. She’ll be all right very soon. Please give her my love.

Mr. Anton     : I’ll do that. Thank you, teacher.
