مکالمه ی دوم

Listen to a conversation between a student and a university employee.

Student: Hi. I had a question. I normally park my car in the lot next to the music building.

Oh, okay. Lot 7.

Yeah. I never had a problem using that lot before… Is it about us closing the lot this Friday? We had students complaining, but I can give you a pass to Lot 10. You know about the orchestra festival in the music building that day, right?

Right. I knew about that. My question is actually about…you know, while I’m here I guess I will need a pass but the fact is I’m in the orchestra festival myself. I play the cello. So maybe…

Sorry. On Friday that lot is non-university guests, so you’ll have to… Go to Lot 10. You sure? I’m in the orchestra.

Sorry.

Okay. That’s fine. I guess I’ll need a pass, but anyway, I got a parking ticket yesterday.

Okay. Do you want to pay your fine now? You have two weeks to pay it.

I don’t. Actually I don’t understand why I got it. I always park in the same lot. I mean, I didn’t do anything different.

Okay. Is there a code number on the ticket? I can look it up.

Yeah. I remember it. It says 036.

Alright, let me check. This was yesterday?

Yeah, early afternoon it would have been.

Okay. Violation 0-3-6. It says here parking in more than one space. Do you have a big car or something? I know we repainted the lines closer together so we could fit more cars in the lot.

No, it’s a small car.

Well, you must have parked over the line. More than one parking spot.

Really? I’m sure I wasn’t.

We have forms to contest the ticket. Do you want one? If you don’t think you did anything wrong, you can fill it out here. Let me get you one.

Even though it will probably be a great waste of time… Okay. And you wanted that pass to Lot 10, right?

Oh, yeah, right, I forgot about that.
