W: Why weren't you at the German class last night, Tom? Have you given up? M: Well, no...I came back late yesterday and found John sleeping in the chair. He'd been writing a report all day long and he was too tired to go out again, so we gave the lesson a miss. W: You've missed quite a lot of lessons lately, haven't you? Are you losing interest? M: Yes, I'm afraid so. Neither John nor I have a gift for language. People just laugh at us when we attempt to speak German. How did you and Jane pick it up so quickly and easily? You've hardly been in Germany a month. W: It was neither quick nor easy. We'd both studied the language before we came, and we only needed to revise it. M: Anyway, all our friends here speak English very well, so we don't really need to learn German., Question: Why didn't the man come to the class last night?
