[00:11.83]An important test is coming and LiMeng is very worried.
[00:18.39]He is telling Daniel and Mr.Davis about his worries.
[00:23.85]Mr.Davis:You look worried,LiMENG.Is there any problem? Doyou want to talk?
[00:30.51]LiMeng:Yeah.Mr.Davis.The thing is I've got an important test next week
[00:37.46]but I don't think I'm ready for it.
[00:41.22]Mr.Davis:What subject is it?
[00:44.59]LiMeng:Science.It's always been a difficult subject for me.
[00:50.05]It's not really the knowledge,
[00:53.60]but the language and the lab experiments which give me headaches.
[00:59.25]Daniel:Did you guys do experiments in your school back in China?
[01:04.60]LiMeng:Yes.The science lab used to be my favourite place,
[01:10.24]but now,with all the new terms,everything confuses me.
[01:16.02]Mr.Davis:That's understandable.
[01:19.67]You need to learn two things at a time:the language and the knowledge.
[01:26.23]LiMeng:Yeah.Each time I finish a science class,I feel so tired.
[01:32.40]Daniel:Don't worry.If you read the science textbook
[01:35.48]and use your dictionary more often,
[01:39.24]you'll get used to the terms.
[01:43.08]LiMeng:I hope so.But what shall I do with my test?I've only got a week now.

[02:11.58]Daniel is telling LiMeng now to revise for his test.
[02:17.95]Daniel:Now,what you can do is to pick out the difficult words you have in the textbook
[02:24.48]and write them and their meanings down in your notebook.
[02:29.47]LiMeng:Yeah?
[02:32.11]Daniel:Then you can take them out whenever you have time and review them.
[02:37.75]LiMeng:Ok,Sounds easy to do.But the book!All the chapters.

[02:52.23]LiMeng:Outlines?For what?
[02:56.07]Daniel:For all the important facts.They are actually all linked.
