Passage 1
Man: Hi. Are you Paula?
$ Woman: Jim?
$ Man: Hi. Nice to meet you.
$ Woman: Glad to meet you.
$ Man: So, you need some tutoring in English?
$ Woman: Yeah. I'm taking position, and I'm not doing very well on my essays.
$ Man: Right. Um, well, first let's see if we can figure out a time to meet . . . that we're both free.
$ Woman: Okay.

$ Woman: So that would be two hours a week then?

$ Woman: Oh, don't worry about that. I really need the help. I won't miss any sessions unless I'm sick or something.
$ Man: Okay then. So you want me to help you with your essays?
$ Woman: Right. I could bring you some that have, you know, comments on them. I'm getting C's and . . .
$ Man: Well, that's not too bad. Once I see some of your writing, we should be able to pull that up (名次提前) to a B.
$ Woman: You think so?
$ Man: Sure. But I need to explain something. Some of my students in the past . . . they expected me to write their essays for them. But that's not what a tutor is supposed to do. 4. My job is to help you be a better writer.
$ Woman: O
