Conversation:

A: You're not happy today, Tom. What's the matter?

B: Well, I failed the maths examination. I feel quite ashamed to tell my parents about the results. 

A: I'm sorry to hear that. So far as I know, you've always been working hard.

B: Yes. I spend much time on it, but..

A: Tom, there's nothing to be ashamed of. You have done your best. You were just unlucky, you know. Cheer up! I'm sure you'll pass next time.

B: Thank you.
