The French test
| GARY: | How was the exam, Richard? |
| RICHARD: | Not too bad. I think I passed in English and Mathematics. The questions were very easy. How about you, Gary? |
| GARY: | The English and Maths papers weren't easy enough for me. I hope I haven't failed. |
| RICHARD: | I think I failed the French paper. I could answer sixteen of the questions. They were very easy. But I couldn't answer the rest. They were too difficult for me. |
| GARY: | French tests are awful, aren't they? |
| RICHARD: | I hate them. I'm sure I've got a low mark. |
| GARY: | Oh, cheer up! Perhaps we didn't do too badly. The guy next to me wrote his name at the top of the paper. |
| RICHARD: | Yes? |
| GARY: | Then he sat there and looked at it for three hours! He didn't write a word! |
