R: Rebecca  F: Father

Rebecca and her father are discussing her study plan for the following school year.

R: Dad, my school guidance counselor said I should talk to you about my class choices next fall.

F: Sure, Rebecca. What about them?

R: I’m torn between the science and liberal arts fields.

F: I see. Are you still interested in becoming a doctor?

R: Yes, I am.

F: Then choose science.

R: But I’ve also thought of becoming a lawyer like you.

F: Well, in that case, you should probably choose liberal arts.

R: I’m so confused.
