(Teacher vs. Student) ( MIKE {50s}: an English 101 professor KEVIN {20s}: a college student ) [rn=KEVIN&vg=male] Hey, Professor Mike, gotta minute? [rn=MIKE&vg=male] Oh, ah, you are . [rn=KEVIN] Kevin. Just a Korean American guy. [rn=MIKE] Oh, I see. Sorry, I’m really terrible at remembering people’s names and faces. [rn=KEVIN] Oh, don’t mind. So, this one. The last assignment you gave us. [rn=MIKE] Yeah? [rn=KEVIN] Look. You shredded. [rn=MIKE] So? [rn=KEVIN] I never got a “C” on any of my assignments. But here, you marked my paper full of red. [rn=MIKE] Yeah, ‘cause your writing was trifled with commas. [rn=KEVIN] Isn’t this too strict? It’s just a college class. [rn=MIKE] Well, maybe other teachers don’t turn so picky like me. [rn=KEVIN] Why are you so damn picky? [rn=MIKE] Because I used to work as a writer and a reporter in L-A-Times. [rn=KEVIN] Really? [rn=MIKE] Yeah, about a decade ago. I do have my policy in writing. If it’s not considering a reader’s view, no matter how grammatically correct, I won’t give an “A” or “B.” [rn=KEVIN] What do you mean? [rn=MIKE] I think you just write like, oh it’s just homework and gotta turn it in. [rn=KEVIN] Well, that’s a student’s job, isn’t it? [rn=MIKE] No. I want you to learn how to write more effectively and economically. Always think about your reader. [rn=KEVIN] But, how? I’m not a writer. [rn=MIKE] Ok, sit. Let’s go over each paragraph. Because. I liked your content about Korean immigrants in America. [rn=KEVIN] Really? [rn=MIKE] Really. Here, take a look at the opening paragraph. Your first line starts so sudden. Bring this sentence to the front instead. [rn=KEVIN] Damn, gotta lot to go.
