Situation 13 English Class
After lunch, Kevin and Barry go to English Class. Today their teacher, Mr. Gomez, is talking about the SAT and getting into a good college or university or college.
Gomez: Ladies and Gentlemen, today we are not going to study English.
Kevin: Cool. You're the best, Mr. G.
G: Don't be too happy. Instead, I want to talk to you about the SAT and education after high school. First, who can tell me what the letters S-A-T stand for?
Lisa: They stand for Scholastic Aptitude Test.
G: Very good, Lisa.
K: I thought they stand for school's Always Lousy.
G: You are a good student, Kevin. You shouldn't have such a bad attitude .
K: I know, but I don't school.
G: But you like English, don't you?
K: Yeah, but that's different. English is fun.
G: Well, what classes don't you like?
K: I hate P.E. The teacher is the worst.
G: Don't worry. There is no P.E. on the SAT. I have another question. Who can tell me the difference between a college and a university?
K: You can only go to a college for four years, but a university has graduate schools so you can go there for a master's or doctoral degree.
G: Correct. And what about a junior college?
K: A junior college only for two years.
G: Correct again. And Kevin, don't worry about P.E. When you go to a college or a university, you will choose a major, like English for example, and you won't have to take many classes that you don't like.
K: College sounds much funnier than high school.
