M:Shall we sit here?

W:Sure!

M:Why didn’t you have anything on your plate?

W:Well, I am not even a bit hungry.

M:Is there anything wrong? Do you feel well?

W:I’ve been really worried.It’s my computer.It’s in the shop again.

M:Really? What’s wrong this time?

W:I don’t know, exactly.There seems to be something wrong with the system.It restarts several times within an hour, and I can’t save what I have typed.

M:That’s too bad.

W:Yeah.I need to hand in a sales report next Monday, and it’s already Wednesday today.Besides, I was only halfway through my report, and everything is in the computer.

M:I see.Perhaps you should ask them to get it fixed in just one or two days.Then at least you still have the weekend to work on the report.

W:Yes, I guess you’re right.Thanks.

M:Hey Iris, I forgot to register for the courses.I’m one day late, and most of the classes are full.What do you think I should do?

W:Poor you, Jack! You can’t do anything about that.

M:Do you think going to the registration office will help now?

W:No, they will tell you the same thing, in a worse way.

M:Have you registered yet?

W:Of course.And it wasn’t easy for me to register for International Trade.It’s so popular.

M:What classes do you think are still open?

W:Maybe Modern History and Chemistry.

M:OK, what do you think about mathematics? I want to take that class this term.

W:I took that class last year.Professor Anderson is really cool! If you go to his office, you can have him write a card that will let you in, even if the class is full.

M:He does that?

W:I guess that’s because some people drop out of his class.

M:That makes sense.I think I’ll do that.Thanks for all the help.

W:OK, we’ve got all our cloud research so let’s decide how to organize it.

M:We should probably start by saying how clouds are formed, and then move on to the different types of clouds.We can separate them into low-level, medium-level and high-level clouds.

W:Great, and we should also make a PowerPoint to make the presentation more interesting.

M:Right.We should have small cards, too.I’m useless at remembering what to say without them.

W:Me too.Well, I’m quite happy to organize everything we’ve found out about clouds and make sure it fits into our presentation times.

M:Actually, I’d better do that.How about if you make the presentation slides?

W:OK.

M:Then I’ll also look on the Internet for pictures of different types of clouds.

W:That’ll be great.I’ll prepare the cards so we don’t forget what we’re saying.

M:Sounds great.What section do you want to talk about?

W:I hate speaking in front of people so I’d prefer not to do the introduction.

M:I’ll do that.If you don’t want to talk much, then why don’t you just do the middle bit about the medium-level clouds?

W:That’s OK.
