— Fine, thanks. I've been working on the summer paper over the past two weeks, and now it's
     nearly finished.   2    
— Yes, I was in Italy for two months.
— How did you manage it? I thought you were only going to stay for a few weeks.

— A job? What did you do？
—    4   
— But you're not a teacher

     An international student has been asked to see her advisor(指導教師). The advisor has something very
important to discuss with the student. 
— You wanted to see me?
— That's right. We need to have a serious talk.

— Your attendance-or rather, lack of it. 
— OK, so I'm absent a few times … 
— A few times? I've been told you've missed six out of eight times in two different classes! That's
     really setting yourself up to fail. 
— Oh, come on.   2   
— But they're also required. You're about to be in big trouble.
— What's the trouble of missing some classes? 
— It's that you're here on a student visa. 
—   3   
— So if you don't attend class regularly, you won't be a full-time student, which your visa requires.
—   4   Turn me into the Immigration Police? 
— Oh, of course I'll have to report you if you continue missing your class, but I'm going to do something
    else first.
