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.
Gomez: 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 SAT stand for?
Lisa: They stand for Scholastic Aptitude Test.
Gomez: Very good, Lisa.
Kevin: I thought they stand for School's Always Lousy.
Gomez: You are a good student, Kevin. You shouldn't have such a bad attitude.
Kevin: I know, but I don't like school.
Gomez: But you like English, don't you?
Kevin: Yeah, but that's different. English is fun.
Gomez: Well, what classes don't you like?
Kevin: I hate P.E. The teacher is the worst.
Gomez: 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?
Kevin: 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.
Gomez: Correct. And what about a junior college?
Kevin: A junior college is only for two years.
Gomez: 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.
Kevin: College sounds much funnier than high school.
