Situation 5:
On the School Bus(Robert goes outside and catches the bus.
His friend Billy is already on the bus. )
Hey, Billy,what’s up?
Hey, Bubby.How are you?
And my name is William, but everybody calls me Billy.
Well, that’s you, not me.Please call me Robert from now on.
Okay, Bob.
Very funny.I’m going to start calling you William.
No, I hate that name.I promise to call you Robert,
if you promise not to call me William
I promise.You see how easy that was.Hey, are you going to
Practice?What practice?
Basketball practice, of course.
I almost forgot.Yeah, I’m going.What about you?
Did your dad give you permission?
Yep.Can you believe it?The old man is not so bad.
I think your dad is really cool.He’s way better than my dad.
That’s what you think, hut it’s not true.He only wants me to
study,but my mom helped me so now I can play sports too.
What about your grades?
I promised that I would get good grades.
What if you don’t?
If I don’t,then I have to quit the basketball team.
I know you’ll be studying hard this year.
Yes,I will.I like basketball enough to make me want
to study hard.
Yeah, school is not so bad if you can both study and play.
