Teacher: Thank you for coming, Mrs. Novak. Leo has made great progress this term. Parent: That's good to hear. How is he doing in maths? Teacher: Maths is his best subject. He's really confident. Parent: And reading? He never reads at home. Teacher: Reading is where he struggles a little. He finds it hard to concentrate on long texts. Parent: What can we do to help? Teacher: Try reading together for ten minutes every evening. Choose books about things he loves. Parent: He loves football and dinosaurs. Teacher: Perfect. I'll lend you some books about both. And please encourage him when he finishes one. Parent: We will. Thank you so much.

- **Second listen:** give out the script and have students underline useful phrases.
- **Speaking:** pairs role-play the dialogue, then change one detail and improvise.
