"It's so nice to see you two again. Rafael has shown some significant growth this semester.

Explanation:

Rafael's teacher should not say that Rafael had shown significant growth due to the fact that he is not doing well and their parents will not accept, after this statement, that their son is not doing as well as he should. The teacher should not say something that is not true, specially with parents that are defensive and critical.

  is an external conflict between the character and an animal or a force of nature, like a tornado,a storm or even a rain. a great example of this is ernest hemingway´s "the old man and the sea"   in which the main character struggle with a marlin when he was fishing.

  in this case the conflict is internal, the character must overcome her or his own nature or make a choice between two paths.
