Harry: Olivia! Can you help me?

Olivia: Harry! Mr Davies is talking about the homework. Please listen to him!

Harry: Sorry. But look at this maths question. It's difficult. I don't understand it.

Olivia: Okay. Which question? Show me quickly.

Harry: Number five. About percentages. Can you explain it? Mr Davies talks too fast!

Olivia: Okay, number five, yes, it is tricky. Look, first, find ten percent of this number. Okay? Then, you add it to the first number. The question asks for the price *after* the increase.

Harry: Oh! Right! I understand now! Thank you, Olivia! You are very good at maths.

Olivia: It's okay, Harry. Now, can you do something for me?

Harry: Yes! What do you need?

Olivia: My black pen is empty. Can you pass me that blue pen? The one on your desk?

Harry: This blue one? Sure. Here you go.

Olivia: Thanks, Harry! Now, let's listen to Mr Davies, okay?

Harry: Okay, okay. I am quiet now!
