M: I totally agree. The teacher set a few obstacles for us on purpose. Otherwise everyone would get full marks.

W: The other tough part was the writing. Though what we were required to do was just write a very short and simple essay, I was confused a lot by the use of Chinese words and sentence structures.

M: Hmm, I had the same problem. We should read more and then imitate the writing.

W: Gook idea. I believe we will make better progress by practicing more in this way.
