Amelie:
Hi Phuc! Where's Mai? Isn't she
coming?
Phuc:
She said she was too tired and
didn't want to go out. She's been staying
up late studying for the exam.
Nick:
Does she need to be that
stressed out?
Phuc:
Maybe not. But my parents always
expect her to get good grades and she
doesn't want to disappoint them. They want
her to go to a top college and study medicine.
Veronica: Really? She told me she wanted to
be a designer…
Phuc:
Yes, that's why she's been a bit
tense lately. She doesn't know what to do.
My parents said design graduates wouldn't
find jobs
easily and they wanted her to
get a medical degree.
Amelie:
Oh, I understand. Sometimes I
wish my parents could put themselves in my
shoes...

Nick:
Anyway, Mai needs to take a
break. I'll call and ask her if she wants to go
and see a film with us tomorrow.
Phuc:
Oh, I doubt it... She's already fully
booked for the weekend with her maths
class, English class, judo class, and music
lesson!
