A Well, it's important that you sit with him and review his homework assignments and help him with math. I would also recommend he stay after school twice a week for tutoring sessions. It will really help a lot. 嗯。你应该坐在他旁边帮他复习家庭作业并且辅导他数学,这很重要。我建议他每周有两天能在放学后参加辅导课程。那样会帮助很大。
B Thanks a lot! I will definitely do that. Is there anything else? 非常感谢!我一定会这么做的。还有什么其他可以做的吗?

B Oh yes, I... 哦,是的。我……
