Gemma: Hi Jack!
Jack: Oh, hi Gemma!
Gemma: How was your summer holiday?
Jack: Yeah, good thanks … and yours?
Gemma: Yeah, great! How’s your first day back at school going?
Jack: Oh … OK. Just had French. It was awful.
Gemma: Oh, yeah? Who’s your teacher?
Jack: Madame Martin.
Gemma: Oh, she’s really good! I like Madame Martin.
Jack: No way! Really? She makes us speak French all the time.
Gemma: Yeah! She’s strict but you learn loads in her classes.
Jack: Hmmm, I see what you mean, but it’s so embarrassing! And I don’t understand her.
Gemma: That’s because she’s speaking French, Jack! And who’s your maths teacher?
Jack: Mr Thomas. He’s my favourite.
Gemma: Really?! I’ve got Mr Greenwood. He explains everything really well.
Jack: Yeah, Mr Greenwood is OK, but he gives so much homework! I prefer Mr Thomas.
Gemma: OK, well Mr Greenwood’s my favourite.
Jack: OK, let’s agree to disagree. Who have you got for science?
Gemma: Miss McCloud. She’s a brilliant teacher and she’s so nice.
Jack: Yeah, I agree with you there.
Gemma: I can’t believe it! Finally you agree with me!
Jack: Whatever!
