Discussing School Subjects, GEE-2 EXP U2

The overall goal of discussing school subjects with friends is to:

• Brag about your grades.

• Share experiences, offer support, and connect over academics.

Asking a specific question about a friend's schoolwork could involve mentioning:

• Their favorite movie.

• Whether they're working on a particular subject like history.

Talking about a class discussion could involve mentioning:

• The cafeteria food.

• The topic being debated in your science class.

Describing your academic interests could involve saying:

• I just need to pass all my classes this semester.

• I'm finding BIOLOGY really interesting this semester.

Deciding to postpone homework is best expressed by saying:

• I finished all my homework for tonight.

• Ugh, I don't feel like doing my MATH homework tonight.

An informal way to talk about studying for a difficult exam might involve saying:

• I'm feeling very confident about my upcoming test.

• I gotta pull an all-nighter to study for my [subject] exam.

If you need to catch up on schoolwork, you might say:

• I'm going out to party tonight!

• I need to hit the library and cram for my PHYSICS test tomorrow.

When a friend seems stressed about schoolwork, you could say:

• Don't worry, school isn't that important.

• You seem stressed about STATISTICS. What's going on?

When a friend aces a class, you could say:

• That's not a big deal.

• I think I'm going to ace my ENGLISH class this semester!

If you're working on a group project, you could say:

• I'd rather work on this alone.
