FMyan : <2> how how </2>
FSing : i mean so many pupils
FLao : erm she says she she can't make students in a group of teaching (.) just write on the board
Discussion: Here FLao answers about the name of the teacher rather than explaining how the teacher manages with a large class. It is possible that she does not understand the word manage, or possibly she does not hear it clearly because of the overlapping speech when the question is asked.
