Lesson 13

Dialogue I

Student: I want to borrow these two tapes.

Clerk: Please leave your student ID here. The language lab is downstairs, and

you can go to listen to the tapes there. I'll give you back your student ID

when you return the tapes.

Student: Oh' too bad! I forgot to bring my student H)1

Clerk: Do you have any other ID with you?

Student: Will a credit card do?

Clerk: No.

Student: The language lab is open until when?

Clerk: We close at five.

Student: Only half an hour left, perhaps there is not enough time. Well, I'll come

back tomorrow.

Dialogue II

Student: I'd like to borrow these four books.

Librarian: Please wait a moment here while I go inside to look for them.

(A few minutes later.)

I found all four of the books that you wanted.

Student: Thank you.

Librarian: Please let me have your library card.

Student: May I ask, for how long may books be checked out?

Librarian: You can keep them for half a month. There is a fine of fifty cents for each

day overdue.

Student: Can I renew them?

Librarian: Yes, you can renew them for half a month. But you must return them after

a month.

Student: Can dictionaries be checked out?

Librarian: No. Would you like to check out any other books?

Student: No other books. Thanks, bye-bye.
