I can talk about timetables.
Mark: Excuse me, is this the science lab*?
Jenny: Erm, no, there aren't any science labs in this block. You're the new boy, right? We haven't got science this morning.
Mark: Oh. What have we got now? I haven't got my timetable.
Susan: Here, take this. I've got a spare copy.
Mark: Thanks. Ah, OK. We've got maths now. Jenny Yeah. Who have we got for maths this year?
Susan: Mr Waldron. That means a lot of homework and tests. And there's a new history teacher, look.
Mark: How many teachers are there here? Jenny I don't know. A lot. There are a thousand students here.
Mark: A thousand and one, including me. Mmm-double history on Friday afternoon. That's tough.
Susan Yes. Welcome to our world!
* lab (laboratory) = a special room in school where you learn science
Remember!
a thousand = 1,000
a thousand and one =1,001
