2015年ESL之日常生活 27 Types of Students in School

Types of Students in School 

Cheech: Is this your old yearbook? 

Boo: Yeah, I found it while cleaning out my closet. 

Cheech: Look at your picture! You look like you were an honor roll student. 

Boo: Don’t be fooled. I was just an average student, not the valedictorian, but not a dropout¹ either. 

Cheech: Who is that? She’s very pretty. 

Boo: That’s my friend Marlene. In high school, she was good at everything. She had a high GPA and took every available AP class. 

Cheech: So she was a nerd. 

Boo: No, not at all. She was also a jock, a member of lots of student clubs, and was student body president. 

Cheech: Wow, she must have been popular. 

Boo: She was, but she wasn’t stuck-up. She got along with everybody, not just the football players and cheerleaders. She was friends with geeks and goths, too. Everybody liked her. 

Cheech: Where is she now? Do you still keep in touch? 

Boo: Yes, of course. She’s doing very well and is very successful. 

Cheech: And single? 

Boo: Yeah, but you’re not her type. 

Cheech: And what type is that? 

Boo: You? Definitely a druggie.
