Good morning, Mr. David. Thanks for fitting us in. We wanted to discuss Emma's progress this term.

早上好，大卫老师。谢谢您安排时间。我们想了解一下艾玛这学期的表现。

David (Male)

Good morning, Sarah. And John, welcome. Of course, I'm happy to. Emma is a bright student, very engaged in class discussions.

早上好，莎拉。约翰，欢迎。当然，我很乐意。艾玛是个聪明的学生，课堂讨论中非常积极。

John (Male)

That's great to hear. We've noticed she's really enjoying your subject. How is she doing with the core subjects, especially math?

听到这个真好。我们注意到她真的很喜欢您教的这门课。她核心科目学得怎么样，尤其是数学？

David (Male)

Her performance in math is generally good. She grasps new concepts quickly. However, I've noticed she sometimes rushes through her work, leading to small calculation errors.

她数学表现总体很好。她能很快掌握新概念。不过，我注意到她有时会急着完成作业，导致一些小的计算错误。

Sarah (Female)

Oh, we've seen that at home too. Any suggestions on how we can help her with that? Perhaps practicing more careful checking?

哦，我们在家也注意到这个问题。您有什么建议我们能怎么帮她吗？也许多练习仔细检查？

David (Male)

Exactly. Encouraging her to double-check her answers before submitting, and perhaps breaking down larger problems into smaller steps, would be beneficial. She also excels in creative writing, which is a big strength.

正是如此。鼓励她在提交前仔细核对答案，或许把大问题分解成小步骤，都会有帮助。她在创意写作方面也表现出色，这是一个很大的优点。

John (Male)

That's wonderful to know. We always encourage her writing. So, for math, it's more about attention to detail rather than understanding the concepts?

这真是太好了。我们一直鼓励她写作。所以，数学方面主要是细节问题，而不是对概念的理解，对吗？

David (Male)

Precisely. Her foundational understanding is solid. Just a bit more care with execution will make a significant difference. Overall, she's doing very well and is a pleasure to teach.

没错。她的基础理解很扎实。只要在执行上再细心一点，就会有很大的不同。总的来说，她表现非常好，教她我很开心。

Sarah (Female)

Thank you so much, Mr. David. This feedback is really helpful. We'll work on those areas with her at home.

非常感谢您，大卫老师。这些反馈真的很有帮助。我们会在家跟她一起努力。

David (Male)

You're most welcome. Please feel free to reach out if you have any further questions. It was good speaking with you both.

不客气。如果您有任何进一步的问题，随时都可以联系我。很高兴和你们两位交谈。
