Nina: This exam tomorrow and I'm awfully nervous.
Andrew: Don't be nervous, you'll do fine. You'll impress the examiners with your English, I'm sure.
Nina: You are kidding, aren't you? They will ask me many questions?
Andrew: No, I don't think so. They will probably just ask you two or three.
Nina: Oh! And do I have to read a text and then translate it?
Andrew: Yes, that's one of the things everybody does.
Nina: And should I write anything?
Andrew: I think they will ask you to write some questions on the text.
Nina: I see. I hope I will have enough time to write the questions.
