Mary: Hey, Alexis, I am glad you came over to my house to study for our coming Math exam. I have gone over all my notes, but I am still not confident enough.
Alexis: Yes, this test is going to be hard. But I haven't had time to study the notes yet. Let's do a review together, starting from Chapter One (第一章). OK?
Mary: Let's do it!
Alexis: Well, do you remember what content (内容) was covered in the first chapter?
Mary: Yes, I think I do. The first chapter is about the quadratic function (二次函数). Is that right?
Alexis: Yes! You got it! Good job! Can you finish it in five minutes?
Mary: I don't know, Alexis! I am not good at writing quickly. I always have difficulties putting my thoughts on paper. I've worked hard to improve my math skills, but I still have a long way to go.
Alexis: I do not think that is your problem. Things can get worse when you start to feel nervous.
Mary: Thanks for your advice. When we are done with this, I will test you on Chapter Two.
Alexis: Okay!
