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.

Well, to tell the truth I'm not a student, so I haven't had the homework from the teacher yet. However, I'm learning English now, therefore I have a number of exercises to finished everyday. That's why I give me the plan for studying Listening, Speaking, Reading and Writing. It's not only important for me, but also useful for people learning English. If I have a partner, we will study and discuss together about all lessons.
Hello
I think there is mistake in a transcript and convesation too.
"Teacher: Don't worry, I can send you the practice test by email on Wednesday. Can you send it to me before Friday?"
What asks teacher from the student ? Resend back a practice test ? I think she asks from student send her the solved test. But that looks like resend back the same test.
Hi lean,
I see what you mean! You're right that the teacher is asking the student to send her the completed test. But actually, the word test can mean not only the set of questions, but also the student's answers too. The student's set of answers can also be called her test.
So, from the situation, we infer that the teacher wants the student to send the completed test, not just the set of questions.
Does that make sense?

Yes, I had a lot of homework during school days. In this time I made two task daily on BC. I like homework in mathematics. Because my brother was help me.
I don't have homework given by someone else but give myself about english.
No, we are already 2 days away from finishing school and they don't give me many homework assignments, as for the tasks that I like, they are the tutoring tasks since they help you to socialize more with your classmates.
nice
When I was a student at school I had a lot of homeworks at that time, I'd like to a homework assignments in Math, Science, Geography and History.
As I am not studying at any school or university at the moment, thus I don't have to worry about homework but back in my school days, there was a lot of homework to do from my teachers. They wanted us to kept busy even after school timing. Thank god those days are over.
I like to do all kinds of homework in English such as essays, reports, and coursework. I love so much English particularly if I am working in the international area.
