The Browning Version Screen 12

I know that students (like servers) say "No problem."  But there's so much about ESL speech that I'm not sure about.  So now we begin the scene between Taplow and Andrew Crocker-Harris.  Agamemnon is going to be an ESL composition, and I do have a lot of examples of student writing!
It occurs to me that I could write something very close to "He has obtained exactly what he deserves.  No less; and certainly no more."

It would be "It's not a question of doing extra work.  It's a question of developing the skills.  If the extra work leads to stronger skills, then yes, he'll pass.  Otherwise, there's no shame in repeating."

Frank

He's wondering whether the extra credit will help him pass the course.

Andrew

It's not a question of doing extra work.  It's a question of developing the skills.  If the extra work led  to stronger skills, then he passed.  Otherwise, there's no shame in repeating.

 Frank

Well, I need to get to the tenure review committee meeting.

Millie

I'm going to a meeting, too.  I'll walk out with you.

Frank and Millie

go out together

Andrew

So let's take a look at your final composition.  Your essay on overcoming obstacles.

Taplow

I trying!

Andrew

I know you are.  We all are.  So...Your re-write is better because you've kept on the topic fairly well...as far as I can see.

Taplow

Overcoming obstacle.

Andrew

Yes.  You begin with Helen Keller when she was a baby.  You also illustrate with Frank McCourt.

Taplow

Frank McCourt very good teacher.  Understand student.
