Jack: Hi, Dawei. Are you OK
Dawei: Yeah... I’m all right, I suppose.
Jack: OK... I don’t mean to be nosy, but are you sure You look down.
Dawei: I could be better, to be honest.
Jack: That’s what I thought. Why don’t you tell me what’s up
Dawei: Well, I took part in a national English speaking competition in Beijing, and
I finished in last place.
Jack: Oh, really I’m sorry to hear that. I’m sure you did your best, though.
Dawei: I did, but it wasn’t good enough. The other kids were just better than me.
Jack: But you must have been very good to get into the competition. You should be
proud of yourself.

Dawei: Well, there was a competition at school first that was held to see who
would go into the national competition. I won that, but...
Jack: There you go! You have no reason to be sad. You’re the best English
speaker at school.
Dawei: That’s the problem. I don’t think I am. I think Liu Jing is better than me,
and she should have gone to Beijing instead of me.
Jack: Who’s Liu Jing
Dawei: She’s a girl in my class. When we did the school competition, we were
the top two students. The final school competition was between me and
her - the winner would go to Beijing.
Jack: OK, but you won, fair and square. Why are you so upset
Dawei: I think I was just lucky. Liu Jing’s much better at English than I am. If
she had gone to the national competition, she would have won. Our
school would have become well known, and everyone would have been
happy. Instead, I went to Beijing and lost.

Jack: Oh, Dawei, you can’t think like that! Who knows what would have happened
I know this is hard for you, but you should cheer up. I mean, did you have a
good time in Beijing
Dawei: Yes, I suppose I did. It’s a really exciting city, and I met some fantastic
people.
Jack: There you go! You had a good time. And I’m sure your parents are proud of
you!
Dawei: They are, yes. It was a great experience, but I just wish I had won.
Jack: [laughs] You can’t win everything, Dawei! You’re the best in the school, and
that means a lot. Perhaps one day, if you study hard, you can be the best in
the country!
Dawei: Yes, I hadn’t thought of that. There will be another competition in March.
Perhaps I could try again then.
Jack: That’s the spirit! I know an English saying: “If at first you don’t succeed, try,
try again.”
Dawei: Yes, that’s good advice. Thanks, Jack. You’ve really cheered me up. I feel a
lot better now.
Jack: No problem. And why don’t you talk to Liu Jing You can practise together.
Dawei: Yes, I’ll do that. Thank you so much!
