Student 1: Sorry. Sorry, excuse me. I'm just … just coming to sit over here. Phew. Hey. How's it going? So, what have I missed?
Student 2: Nothing. He just started around five minutes ago.
Student 1: Did he say anything about the mid-term?
Student 2: What?
Student 1: About the mid-term tests. Did he say anything about when he was going to hand them back?
Student 2: He's almost finished marking them, he said. We get them next Tuesday.
Student 1: I'm sorry, I didn't catch that. When do we get them?
Student 2: Tuesday. Next Tuesday.
Student 1: OK. Got it. Sorry. What page are we meant to be on?
Student 2: Page 34.
Student 1: Page … 34. Oh, wait. I don't have my textbook. Can I … share with you? Wow. This is hard stuff.
Student 2: Mmm.
Student 1: What does SEO mean?
Student 2: What?
Student 1: SEO. This is all about SEO but he hasn't said what it means.
Student 2: Search engine optimisation. How to appear on internet searches.

Student 2: He explained it before you got here.
Student 1: Oh. Right. OK.
Student 2: Can you be quiet? I'm trying to listen to the lecture.
Student 1: So am I. Sorry. Sorry, one more question. What does this have to do with the American Revolution?
Student 2: What?
Student 1: I don't get it. Why is he talking about search engines in a course on the American Revolution?
Student 2: What are you talking about? This is a class on software engineering.
Student 1: You mean, it's not Early American History?

Student 1: Here, I'll just … excuse me. I'm in the wrong class. Excuse me. Thanks. Sorry.
When you don't understand something in class, I ask the teacher to explain what I didn't understand. Or I try to concentrate more. Or I get the book and look for information that can help me. But it's not always easy to stay focused. Some subjects make my concentration disappear.
If the issue is important and related to the lesson, I will wait for a suitable time and ask the teacher about what I missed. However, if it is not directly to the class, I will quickly ask other students so I can stay up to date.
I probably ask my mate about it
Great
If I don't understand something in class I ask from my friend in class and if someone in my family know that lesson I ask them, finally I ask my teacher
When you don't understand something in class, what do you do?
Well, I am not a student anymore, but when I didn't understand something, I used to ask some of my friends if they could explain it to me. I never liked asking the teacher in front of everyone.
Suppose I don't understand something in class. I first ask my classmates, and if I am not satisfied with the answer, I ask the professor.
When I was in class, my teacher explain their topics and when I was late, I saw the cupboard so automatically I can get it without other help with my classmate
It is great to learn English.
Firstly i am going to ask my classmate if i didn't get what i am asking for ii will shift directaly to my teacher.
