M: How is your term paper coming along?
W: I have just finished the draft, and handed it in to Miss Harper.
M: Wow, you are really a doer. I planned to start writing the main body today. What did Miss Harper say about your draft?
W: Well, she suggested I reconsider the whole structure of my paper, as she saw no links between Chapter Three and the whole theme.
M: Oh, so what are you going to do?
W: Miss Harper advised me to delete Chapter Three, and enrich the other chapters. She also recommended a few books. I think that will be of great help. And I’m going to the library this afternoon.
M: I wish I could have Miss Harper be my supervisor. She tends to help her students with patience.
W: Who is your supervisor, then?
M: Mr. Simpson. You should know that he is famous for being strict, and rather, picky.
W: In my opinion, Mr. Simpson is quite responsible, though sometimes he seems to be too direct. All in all, he is quite nice.
M: If you were in my shoes, I’m sure you wouldn’t say so. Anyway, I have revised the outline at least three times to meet his requirements. That’s why I fall far behind you.
W: Just as the saying goes, a strict master brings up accomplished disciples. You are lucky enough to have Mr. Simpson be your supervisor.
M: You’ve got a point there. Do you mind my going to the library with you together? Maybe you could give me some advice on writing the term paper.
W: Of course not. I’ll gladly do what I can to help.
