1) OK
2) Which are considered low marks in the USA? Does "A" correspond to very good, "B" to good, C/D/E to what?
Which marks are below a pass?
A = excellent (90-100%); B = very good (80-89%); C = average (70-79% or as a district or state determines; for my grandchildren, C is 75-79%); D = poor (60-69%; or as in my grandchildren's district, 70-74%); F = failure (59% and below; or as in my grandchildren's district, 69% and below). The different ranges may vary by district, county, state or whatever.
3) Do you have to take a make-up exam in the summer or in September if you fail a subject in June? (Generally, if a student fails a whole course, s/he has to repeat the entire course. A make-up exam would be taken only if the student missed the final exam for the semester because of illness or something the school agrees is "excused"!)
4)Do you know the names of dances or dance music which are popular among American teenagers and which are also taught at school?
5) How old are high school sophomore and junior students?
6) Remember the following expressions:
Don't always look at yourself in the mirror.
Help yourself to the food.
Make yourself at home, look after yourself. Take care of yourself.
Behave yourself.
Be careful not to cut/burn/hurt yourself.
Don't care only about yourself.
Do it yourself.
How do you pronounce this "DIY tool"?
Do it yourself tool? Yes, DIY stands for "do it yourself," and you say the letters the way they are pronounced when you say the alphabet.
