W: Can I help you?

M: Yes, I’d like to read some articles that are on reserve about British culture.

W: Professor Grand’s class?

M: That’s right. How could you know?

W: Let’s just say you are not the first person coming in asking for those articles.

M: Oh, well, seeing as how I haven’t read any of them yet, it doesn’t really matterwhich one you give me first.

W: I’m afraid I can’t give you any of them at the moment. They’ve all been checked out.

M: You’re joking, all of them?

W: Every month. I’ve asked professor Grand twice already to bring in additional copies of the articles, but no sooner do I place them on the shelves than they are gone. See that girl in the black sweater? She’s been waiting for half an hour for those same articles to be returned.

M: And here’s me. I went out of my way to free out the whole afternoon to read.

W: I’m sorry, but there is not a whole lot I can do about it. All I can suggest is that you come in first thing tomorrow morning and try again. We open at eight.

Conversation Two

M: Come on, Julie, how are we going to convince everybody that I’m the best candidate?

W: It won’t be easy!

M: Thanks a lot!

W: Oh, just kidding. Actually, I think once we show everyone how well you did asjunior class treasurer, you are sure to be elected president.

M: Well..., what’s your strategy?

W: One thing I was thinking of is to hang campaign posters in all the hallways.

M: But everyone puts up posters. We need to do something different.

W: Let me finish. The campus radio station is willing to let you have five minutestomorrow morning at seven to outline your plans for the year. Lots of students will hear you then.

M: Great idea!

W: I’ve also arranged for you to give a speech during dinner time tomorrow. Over a hundred students will be there. And you can answer questions after you finish speaking.

M: That means I’d better come up with a speech pretty quickly. How about if I write it tonight and show it to you after chemistry class tomorrow?
W: Fine. I’ll see you after class.

M: You are really good at this. I’ll be glad you agreed to help me out.
