铃美：昨天的考试你们考得怎么样？
大龙：这次考试不仅题多，而且还很难。
我都没写完。
苏南：尽管我都写完了，可是我觉得考得不好。
铃美：你不是都写完了吗？
苏南：就拿阅读题来说，大部分汉字我都认识，可是放在一起，我就看不懂了。
最后时间来不及了，我怕写不完，只好随便选了一个答案。
大龙：我觉得听力和阅读考得还可以，写汉字的时候，有几个字我从来没见过，写不出来。
铃美：做阅读的时候，有个词语我明明学过，就是突然想不起来了，急死我了！
大龙：我以为只有我考得不好呢！
原来大家都觉得这次考试很难。
苏南：看来下次我们得好好复习了。
别难过了大龙！
我们去看电影吧！
铃美：是啊，大龙，考试之前你就很紧张，现在已经考完了，我们就一起放松放松吧！
我刚才也有点难过，但是听起来大家都差不多，我们下次继续努力吧！
大龙：你说得对！
