Transcript
Student: Excuse me, Ms Henderson?
Teacher: Yes, Diana. How can I help you?
Student: I'm sorry, but I can't come to class next Wednesday. I have a doctor's appointment.
Teacher: OK. Thanks for letting me know.
Student: Is there anything to do at home?
Teacher: Let me just check my notebook. OK, first of all … you need to read chapters 17, 19 and 20 in the book. There are also some articles and a video to watch – those are online. I'll post the links online in the usual place.
Student: Chapters 17 to 20.
Teacher: Yes, except chapter 18. Chapters 17, 19 and 20.
Student: Ah, OK. Um ... is there a deadline?
Teacher: Yes, this Friday. But there's something else. I was going to give you all a practice test.
Student: A practice test?
Teacher: Yes, to help people prepare for the mid-term exam.
Student: Ah. All right.
Teacher: Don't worry, I can send you the practice test by email on Wednesday. Can you send it to me before Friday?
Student: Sure, no problem.
Teacher: And don't forget to bring a certificate from the doctor to the office.
Student: Thanks, Ms Henderson! I'll do that.
Teacher: You're welcome, Diana. Take care.
Yes, I have a lot of home work. I like English home work.
are you sure
No at the moment, because i'm on vocation. I like pratically all subjects in my graduation, except Software Engineering.
Yes, I do. In general, I have many homework, especially in October and March. Inevitably, when school starts after summer holiday or after Christmas holiday, teachers after one month assign us several assignments so that we can train you on the subjects taught at the school recently. In addition, they are necessary to prepare us for our exams at the end of the semester.
Do you have a lot of homework? What kind of homework do you like?
I have finished school since a long time but when I was at, I liked algebra, chemistry, and English homework.
No, I don't have to do any homework. I don't like to do homework but when the teacher gave me homework, I did it well.
What's mid-term exam?
Or what's the meaning mid-term ?
Hi Moses Habarugira,
A mid-term exam is an exam that students have to do in the middle of the course, instead of at the end. Some university courses, for example, have mid-term exams.
I hope that helps!

That means just exam. Usually, be in university. Also, called semestr exam.( Final exam )
Practice tests are very useful especially when they are for a mid-term exam. Sometimes there are some homework assignments that should be done on time, deadlines are usual at the end of the months.
