Unit 1. If I start after dinner, I’ll finish it before I go to bed.
Dad: Tony, you're playing the guitar again. Have you
done your homework'?
Tony: No, not yet, but I haven't got much. If I start after dinner, I'll finish it before I go to bed. Anyway, you wanted me to learn an instrument.
Dad: I want you to get into the habit of doing your homework as soon as you come home from school. If you start now, you'll finish it before dinner.
Tony: Yes, but I need a rest from schoolwork. I also want to go to the library to do volunteer work.
Dad: So you're not going to do your home work now?
Tony: No, it isn’t necessary to do it now. I'll do it later.
Dad: That's a shame. I really don't think you should go to the library so much.
Tony: Why not? I can work in the library and I'm also able to read books there.
Dad: No deal, Tony. If you do all these other things instead of your homework, you won't have time to study.
Tony: You mean you don't want me to help the community and increase my knowledge of the world?
Dad: That's not the point. You should consider what the most important thing is. I don't want you to fail your exams.
Tony: But.....
Dad: You can't do anything before you finish your homework. I'm sorry, but that's my last word.
