Narrator Listen to a conversation between two students. Now get ready to answer the questions. You may use your notes to

Sarah  Hi, Bob.
Bob  Hi, Sarah.
Sarah  How is your history paper coming?
Bob  Not so great.
Sarah  Why? What happened? I thought you were almost finished last night.
Bob  Well, the paper is written, but it is not typed yet.
Sarah  Didn’t you have time?
Bob  No. Because all the computers at the computer center are taken. I have no choice, just wait, wait and wait. And it is due this afternoon. I don’t know what I’m gonna do.
Sarah  The same thing happened to me a few weeks ago on an economics project. Every time I went to the center, all the computers were being used. And I have a lot of graphs and charts that had to be done on the computer. Because I have to finish my homework on time, I ended up doing them by hand.
Bob  There are so few computers for all the students here.
Sarah  Yes, I agree.
Bob  And they are always breaking down too.
Sarah  I know. But another problem is that they close so early. Around 9:30.
Bob  I know. I came back last night at about 9:15 thinking the crowd might have thinned up by then. A guy at the door told me they were going to close in a few minutes. I couldn’t believe it!
Sarah  We should try to do something about this.
Bob  I’ll go along with you on this point.
Sarah  Why don’t we write a letter to the campus newspaper about that problem?
Bob  I think we should write directly to the dean. You know, we could explain the problem and make an official request that the school add more computers and that the computer rooms stay open longer.
Sarah  Maybe it would be a good idea to get other students’ signatures. I am sure a lot of others feel the same way we do. And that would carry more weight.
Bob  That is true. Do you want to get together to write the letter tonight?
Sarah  Sure. But I have a study group meeting at 7:30.
Bob  OK. Let’s meet earlier in the dining hall at 6:30. It shouldn’t take us long to write. We can start collecting signatures tomorrow at lunch.
Sarah  See you then. Good luck with your paper.
Bob  See you.
