" Looks like our one hour is already up."
"No, I've only learned two letters. Yesterday I learned three, and I thought I could learn more because I started faster today."

"There's nothing to do. I can give you homework if you want."
"What does homework mean?"
I approached Akile and showed her the spelling and pronunciation of two more letters on her notebook.
"You have to write these two letters a hundred times each and learn them well before you come to me tomorrow. This is homework; I will give you some assignments to spend your resting time at home to study and I will give you nothing in return."
"Please don't say that. Homework is a good thing, so I can keep learning when I'm at home."
"Of course, after all, the concept of goodness can change depending on people's point of view, right?"
