A: 張老師，你好。我兒子最近表現好嗎？
Zha¯ ng Laˇosh¯ı, nˇıhaˇo. woˇ e´rzi zu`ıj`ın biaˇoxia`n haˇo ma?
Hello Teacher Zhang. Has my son been doing all right lately?
B: 總的來說還可以。成績進步了。就是有時候比較
頑皮，上課不專心。

In general, not bad. His grades have improved. It’s just that sometimes he is a bit naughty. He doesn’t concen- trate in class.
A: 是啊， 男孩子總是比較好動。他的性格就是這
樣。不過，成績有進步是最重要的。

That’s true, boys are always more active. That’s my son’s personality. But the most important thing is that his grades have improved.
B: 但是他的頑皮很容易影響學習。現在學的內容比以前難，上課時一定要注意聽講。否則會跟不上。

But his misbehavior can easily influence his studies. What we are studying now is harder than before, and during class it is essential to pay attention to what is being taught. Oth- erwise, he won’t be able to keep up.
A: 老師說得對。我回家要好好教育他， 讓他自覺遵守紀律，聽老師的話。不過有時候，性格很難改。

You are right. When I get home I will lecture him on abid- ing by the rules in class, and to pay attention to what you are teaching. But sometimes it’s very difficult to change one’s personality.
B: 家長的配合很重要。你最好嚴肅地跟他談一談，
這是為他好。

The cooperation of the parents is very important. It would be best if you had a serious talk with him. It is for his own good.
A: 你說得對，我們有時候太寵他了。是要改一改。

You’re right. Sometimes we spoil him too much. We need to make some changes.
