　　Conversation A

　　Andrea and John are walking home from school.

　　Andrea:John, you seem nervous. Is that big guy still bullying you?

　　John:Trevor? Yeah. Today he wanted me to give him some money. He even pushed me when I said no.

　　Andrea:That's terrible! You have to talk to a teacher about this.

　　John:I thought about that, but I'm afraid that everyone will find out and think I'm a coward.

　　Conversation B

　　Andrea:Your safety is more important than what other people think.

　　John:But telling a teacher could make things worse. Trevor warned me not to.

　　Andrea:Of course he did! He doesn't want to get in trouble. Look, if you're still worried, tell the teacher not to mention your name when she talks to him.

　　John:Good idea. But I think I'd like to deal with this on my own.
