Question

Write down the conversation between Thomas and his coach.

Answer

  • Coach: Hello, Thomas. How are things going?
  • Thomas: Not great, Coach. I've been struggling with my tennis game lately.
  • Coach: Is something specific on your mind? What's bothering you?
  • Thomas: I don't know. It's just hard to focus lately, and I've been feeling nervous.
  • Coach: Are you going through a tough time? Do you want to talk about it?
  • Thomas: I'm not sure. I guess things are okay with the team, but I just broke up with my girlfriend.
  • Coach: Have you tried to reconcile with her?
  • Thomas: We haven't seen each other yet.
  • Coach: How are things at school?
  • Thomas: I'm a bit worried. I got some bad grades in the last few days.
  • Coach: Don't worry too much. It's just a phase of adolescence. I'm sure you'll patch things up with your girlfriend, and everything will be fine soon. Trust me.
  • Thomas: Thanks for listening, Coach.
