#Person1#: What would you say if I told you I was going to quit school?
#Person2#: I'd say, think twice about it. Well, you are not going to quit school, are you?
#Person1#: I don't know. I failed my exam.
#Person2#: What did you get?
#Person1#: A B plus.
#Person2#: That's not bad.
#Person1#: But I should have aced it. I mean I finished the paper so quickly, thinking it's a piece of cake. But when I knew my result, I was like what? That can't be true!
#Person2#: Listen, John. I understand that you are such an excellent student and I know you must have lots of stress, but you really want to give up?
#Person1#: No, I don't. I just don't know how to handle this. This is my first time, you know.
#Person2#: I know. Don't worry. Do you know what you should do?
#Person1#: What?
#Person2#: You need to blow off some steam. The world is not on your shoulder.
#Person1#: How?
#Person2#: Forget about school and exams. Come over to my house and have fun. I have some really good DVDs.
#Person1#: Thanks. But I really don't feel like watching movies tonight. I have to get an early start in the morning.
#Person2#: Then go to bed and have a good sleep.
#Person1#: I guess that's what I need. Thanks. You're being a really good friend.
#Person2#: Of course I am. Well, pleasant dreams!
#Person1#: Thanks, bye.
