Conversation

listen to a conversation, take notes on the problem presented in the possible solution suggested.

M: So, did you decide to enroll in that creative writing course after all?

W: I still haven’t decided. I’d really like to, but it only on Tuesdays from 7 to 10 p.m. And I’m afraid to walk back to my car so late at night.

M: Yeah, I know what you mean. I get uneasy walking around campus at night sometimes, too. You know, you can always call campus security and ask for an escort.

W: I thought of that, but don’t you have to pay?

M: No, not at all. It’s a free service for students.

W: Really? Well, that’s good to know. Still, though, I think I’d feel kinda awkward having a security guard walk me to my car. He’d have to do it once a week.

M: Yeah, I understand. You wouldn’t know the person. Plus, it might be inconvenient to request a security escort once a week.

W: That’s true. It’d be nice if I had a friend in the class.

M: You could always go to the class the first week and see if you know anyone. Maybe someone is walking the same way back as you are.

W: Yeah, I could do that. There could be several people in the class who also park in the student lot.

M: Then again, you might not see anyone you know. There’s still a chance you might have to walk back to your car alone.

W: You’re right. I’ll have to think about it.
