M: Great job on your chemistry test, Anna! This is your second "B" in a row!

W: "B-plus" actually. So there is small improvement, Dad.

M: So what have you been doing? You used to be a "D" student before.

W: I've joined a study group. Our members discuss all the difficult stuff, and we test each other all the time.

M: Great idea. Maybe you will have more time on the weekends to go out with your friends. How did you find the study group?

W: I saw a notice on the message board at lunch one day. I decided to check it out, and now we meet once a week after our last class of the day.

M: So that's why you've been coming home late. Good for you. So, you're not nervous about your chemistry tests anymore?

W: Not at all. I am more prepared than ever.
