• [Mr. Brown explains to the class the importance of the exam] 

  Jeremy Brown : Now, when you take your examination, your Lower Cambridge Certificate isn't too difficult. The exam is divided into three parts, right; first there's an oral examination, then a written one, and then comes dictation.

  Jamila Ranjha : [confused]  Is that his name?

  Jeremy Brown : Is that whose name?

  Jamila Ranjha : The man who is going to be taking us to be doing the examination, Dick Tayshun?

  Jeremy Brown : [clarifying]  Dictation is when a person reads something out aloud, and another person copies it down.

  Ali Nadim : [looking at Danielle and gesturing]  Ah, like the short-finger typist.

  Jeremy Brown : [correcting him]  Short-HAND typist.

  Ali Nadim : [nods]  Yes please.
