The Exam: a Chinese dialogue with translation

Mom: Anna, how was today's exam?

Anna: Not so good. The math problems were really hard.

Mom: Didn't you review for a whole week?

Anna: I did, but during the exam I was in too much of a hurry, and I misread two questions.

Mom: What about the other questions?

Anna: The others were pretty easy; I should have gotten them all right.

Mom: That's not bad, then. When do the results come out?

Anna: The teacher said next Monday.

Mom: Don't worry. One exam isn't that important.

Anna: But I want to get into a good high school.

Mom: As long as you work hard, you'll definitely get in.

Anna: I know. Before the next exam, I'll do more practice.

Mom: Good. Now let's eat first. I made your favorite dumplings.

Anna: Great, I've been hungry for ages!
