Speaking Question 5

Listen to a conversation between two students.

(man) Hey, Jennifer. How are things going?

(woman) Well, I’m relieved this is the end of semester. But that’s actually part of my problem.

(man) What do you mean?

(woman) Can you believe this? My computer broke yesterday. So it’s at the shop being repaired. It won’t be ready until the end of next week which is when all my papers are due.

(man) Why not use the computer lab? They’ve got lots of machines there.

(woman) I know. But it gets so noisy there that I can’t keep my mind on my work. I mean, when I’m at a computer, I’m not just typing. I’m thinking! So I need quiet to concentrate.

(man) Maybe you can try going in the morning or evening. It might be less noisy then.

(woman) Maybe. But this time of year, everybody’s working on papers. It could be crowded even then.

(man) Hmm. What about calling back the computer repair shop to see if they can have your computer ready at the beginning of next week instead? That would still give you enough time to finish your papers by the end of the week.

(woman) Oh! I haven’t thought of that! The only problem is the shop is closed today and tomorrow for the long holiday weekend. So it’ll be a few days before I can talk to them. “
