G: I know. I have to prepare supper for my child before I leave.

A: my husband has been doing cooking since I began attending this evening class.

G: that's nice. My husband's on a business trip, so I have to do everything all by myself.

A: then you must be quite busy.

A: next Sunday. That's only ten more days.

G: thank you.

A: do you find the evening classes useful for your exam?

G: yeah, with the teachers' help, I can learn much faster.

是啊,白天上班,晚上上课,还得抽空做家务,真希望能有人帮忙.
我也是,有时候我真想放弃,我没法同时处理好所有的事.
你的成人高考是什么时候?
下周日,不到十天了.
