女性の英会話劇場Woman's Story

Scarlett: Jacques, I got my exam results today.

Jacques: Really? And?

Scarlett: Just as I thought. I failed miserably. The listening and
reading comprehension were a total disaster. But I did score
quite well in the speaking, which was a nice surprise.

Jacques: Well, I’m glad there was some good news.

Scarlett: Anyway, I’ve decided to take the exam again in three months,
so could you tell me about that study method you were talking
about that only takes fifteen minutes a day?

Jacques: It’s very simple really. You spend the first five minutes
revising what you’ve studied the day before, the second
five minutes learning something new and the last five minutes
doing something fun.

Scarlett: Fun? What kind of study could possibly be fun?

Jacques: Well, you could listen to a French pop song and study the
lyrics, or flick through a picture book and do some reading,
or watch a couple of scenes from a TV programme.

Scarlett: French pop music? That sounds interesting.

Jacques: Do you want to borrow a couple of CDs? I have a whole lot
here.

Scarlett: Thanks! That would be great.

Jacques: No problem.

Scarlett: And if I do that every day I’ll be able to prepare
sufficiently for the exam?

Jacques: You sure will. Although I must stress that the most
important part of those fifteen minutes is the revision.
If you do that properly, then there’s absolutely no reason
why you shouldn’t be able to pass.

Scarlett: It sounds too good to be true. Well, I’ll definitely give
it a try. If I don’t pass I’ll know to blame you!

Jacques: Thanks for the vote of confidence! But seriously, I’m sure
next time you’ll do just fine.

To be continued.
