Listen to the conversation between a student and the club secretary.
Secretary Good afternoon. Language Club. This is Lily speaking.
Student Oh, hello. This is Mark Smith, an overseas student here. I’m very interested in joining the language club; could you give me some information?
Secretary Well, you can get our calendar in the library at the beginning of each term. There are always some on the entrance desk.
Student Oh. But it is already the fifth week of this semester; can I still get one?
Secretary Maybe there aren’t any left. If you have time please come to our office, and many of them are available there.
Student Well, I... I’m not sure about that. But for the time being I just need some information about the club, such as how much does it cost to join? What are the membership benefits?
Secretary Benefits? Err...lots of activities. For example, the acting group often puts on short plays in different languages. The membership fee is 2. 5 dollars each month.
Student Well, the charge is low and the activity sounds interesting. So all the members can make good friends.
Secretary Sure. You will enjoy it very much.
Student Any other groups?
Secretary We also have a discussion group, a literature group, a singing group and a debate group.
Student OK. I can’t wait to join the club! Wait a minute; I have another question: Are there any other requirements besides the fee?
Secretary Well, you must be a student of this university, and of course you must be keen on languages.
Student I certainly am. I’m ready to meet my new friends.
Secretary Ok. The first step for you is to decide which group you like best and want to join. And what kind of schedule do you prefer?
Student Well, that’s the thing. I’m not exactly sure which activity I’m most interested in. Perhaps I need uh, some advice.
Secretary Well, we also have advisors for different-level students. You can get some advice from them.
Student Good. I think I need some suggestions from the advisor for medium-level applicants. Could I speak to him or her?
Secretary No problem, the medium-level advisor...let me have a look. Here, his name is Carl Smith, and the telephone number is 8843. His office is room No. 211 in the center building.
Student Excuse me, could you repeat his telephone number and the room number? Was it 8834 and room No. 121?
Secretary Oh, no. It is room No. 211 but his telephone number is 8843. By the way, his working hours are from 9:00 a. m. to 5:00 p. m. every Monday, Wednesday and Friday.
Student Ok, today is Tuesday, so I will visit him tomorrow. Thanks for the information.
Secretary My pleasure. And I hope to see you as a club member soon.
