Speaking Question 5

Now listen to a conversation between two students about campus housing.

Man: Hi. Kate. How is it going?

Woman: Pretty good. I just found out I’m going to be staying on campus during the semester break. Professor Clark asked me to help him with some research.

Man: That’s a pretty big deal.

Woman: Yeah. I guess it is, but the problem is: the dorm is always closed.

So I need to find housing for about two weeks.

Man: Oh, that’s rough. But didn’t you mention that you had a couple of friends that live in an apartment not too far from campus? Are they gonna be around?

Woman: Yeah. Mary and Alan. They say they are gonna stick around here during the break.

Man: Well, so why don’t you just stay with them?

Woman: I’ve been thinking about asking them.

Man: And they probably wouldn’t charge you anything, right? Just for a couple of weeks.

Woman: Yeah. Probably not. I’m sure they’d be fine with it. But since it’s between classes and they won’t have classes and stuff, I’m worried that…

Man: You’re afraid that they might want to party too much?

Woman: Right. They’ll be on vacation, but I’ll have to get up early in the morning to work all day, so we’ll be on completely different schedules.

Man: Hmm…well, another possibility is that sometimes you can get special permission to stay at the dorm.

Woman: Really? You mean they’d let me stay in my own dorm room? I wouldn’t have to move?

Man: Well, you would, actually, because they usually only keep one of the dorms open and it’s not the one you’re in.

Woman: Hmm… I wonder how much they charge.

Man: Well, it’s not as cheap as staying with friends, but…

Woman: But it would be quieter…

Man: True.
