Teacher to students:
"I'm
afraid I haven't got enough copies of this exercise. So
I tried
to have more run up but the photocopier
had broken down and the repairman
didn't turn up when
he was supposed to.
He did
ring in to say he'd been
held up unexpectedly, but that's the
second
time that company has let us down recently.
Well,
there's nothing else for it: you're just going to have
to look down with your neighbour. While you're doing
that, I'll just give out the test
you did last week.
Some of
you slipped up in a few places,
but, on the whole, the results were good. If you just
carry on as you've been doing, you should do
fine!"
