PSYCHOLOGY THEME 5

B. Read the dialogue and find out what Mr. Timmons and his students do to change the
negative mood.

Mr. Timmons Good afternoon everyone.
Students Good afternoon, sir.
Mr. Timmons It seems to me that most of you are upset.
Peter We are, sir. We have just had an exam
and most of us did badly.
Mr. Timmons Thanks for sharing it honestly, Peter. Honesty is
a virtue. We do not expect you to do well in all
exams, Peter. These things happen. I suggest
you forget about it and focus on the next exam.
Linda If we had a choice now, we wouldn’t sit for exams.
Mr. Timmons That’s also what we teachers would do if we had
the chance, Linda. Anyway, we’d rather do
something to change the negative mood here. Any suggestions?
Emma Let’s air the classroom and let some fresh air in. It’s really stuffy in here.
Mr. Timmons That’ll be nice, Emma. Fresh air always helps.
Peter I suggest having a break.
Mr. Timmons I’d love to say yes, Peter but there are rules. We are not allowed to have
breaks whenever we want to. I know! Why don’t we listen to some music?
I already have a nice piece for you as part of the class today.
