In the following example a trainee asks a pupil's name and the pupil replies adding "miss" to her answer. Is it a bit old-fashioned? How would such a conversation go in a modern school? Is it natural for a pupil to tell his last name as an answer to the question "What's your name?"
“Sit down, please” said Mary as she took her seat. “I guess the first thing I should do is check the register,” Mary began, getting hot and red under the children’s scrutiny. “What’s your name?” she asked turning to the monitor.
“Belova, miss.”
