M: Come in. Please take a seat.
W: Thank you.
M: I’m Paul Adams, Branch Manager.
W: Katie Thomas. Pleased to meet you.
M: I take it you’re looking for temporary office work.
W: That’s right.
M: How old are you, Katie
W: I’m eighteen.
M: That’s rather young. What experience have you had
W: Well, I’ve just left school, actually, and I’m looking for a job between now and when I go to college.
M: It doesn’t sound as though we can help, Katie. You see, our clients are very demanding — especially when it comes to the new office technology.
W: Oh, that’s no problem. I took extra classes in office skills at school.
M: Oh, perhaps you’d like to outline what you’ve been doing

M: Hello, Susan, come in and take a seat.
W: Thank you.
M: The reason I want to see you is I’m worried about your grades. Last year you were a straight-A student, but over the last semester you hardly even get any B’s. I know that you’re a very bright student, so I wondered if you had any problem.
W: Thank you for your concern, Dr. Brown. I know I could be doing better, but my husband is working full-time now, so he can’t look after the kids so much. I always end up writing my assignments with two kids running round the room.
M: There is a kindergarten in the downtown campus. Why don’t you drop your kids in the kindergarten and then go and do your assignments in the library
W: Thank you. Maybe I’ll try that.
W: Hi, John.
M: Oh! Hi, Laura. What are you doing here
W: Oh, I’m usually here on weekends. It’s my dad’s shop. So are you looking for a bike
M: Yeah. Now that the weather is warming up, I thought I’ll get some exercise instead of taking the bus all the time.
W: Well, you’ve come to the right place. Do you know what you would like
M: Well, I don’t want a racer or a touring bike or anything. Mostly I’ll just be using it to get me back and forth from work.
W: How far is that
M: About four miles.
W: Are there a lot of hills on the way
M: Some I guess. But maybe I should tell you up front that I’ve only got 150 dollars. Can I get anything decent for that
W: Well, you are not going to get anything top of the line. But we do have a few ones in the back that are in good condition.
M: That sounds good.
W: You are right. For the kind of ride you a

W: Hi, John!
M: Oh, hello, Jenny!
W: I heard you received the top grade on all five exams last semester.
M: Only on four. I’m afraid.
M: Hi, Susan, Where were you at lunch time
W: Oh, sorry to miss you. But my thirst for knowledge was greater than my stomach for food.
M: I never have that problem. So where were you
W: My science class ran over.
W: Stan, do you have a minute
M: Oh, hi, Cathy. Sure. What’s up
W: Well, I’ve been meaning to talk to you about the situation in the office.
M: I’m not in there very often. It’s so noisy that I can’t work.
W: That’s exactly what I’m getting at. We’re supposed to be able to do our preparation and marking in that office. But have you noticed Jack constantly has students coming in to get help with his course. A lot of people are going in and out.
M: Has anybody spoken to him about it
W: No, not yet, but someone’s going to have to.
M: We can’t really ask him to stop having students come in for help, can we
W: No, of course not. But I’m not able to do my work and neither are you. I imagine it’s the same for the others in the office.
M: Hmmm, could we ask for a kind of meeting room When Teaching Assistants have to talk with a student, they coul
A. To chat with Jack socially.
B. To get help in the course.
C. To hand in their assignments.
