M: Hi, Jenny, you don’t look happy. What’s wrong?
W: Well, Jack, I’ve got a problem. You know my daughter Lisa is 16 years old now. And we’ve begun talking about college. She says she wants to go, but she just lets her grades slip and no matter how many times I urge her to study, (8) all that she seems to be interested in are clothes and boys. We’re not wealthy, you know. And it won’t be easy for us to afford the tuition if she can’t get a scholarship. Is going to college the best choice for her right now?
M: Do you mean that she doesn’t seem ready for college?
W: Yes, exactly.
M: (9)Then you’d better have a serious talk with her about college.
W: A serious talk with her?
M: Yes, in my opinion, (10)it’s quite normal for girls of her age to be wrapped up in fashion and dating. But as a mother, you have the right to expect her to pay attention to her study, too.
W: Yes, but how?
M: Ask her how serious she is about college and how hard she’s willing to work for it. Lisa may be more committed than you realize. But if not, tell her she should think about putting college off for a while. That could give her the push she needs to take her education seriously.
W: (9)Sounds like a good idea.
M: And if you decide she should wait, you may help her get a job, take classes at a community college or do an internship to get experience. (11)She may be just one of those who need to see a bit of real life before they settle down.
