Now listen to part of a conversation between a student and her advisor.
Advisor: OK, Becky, so …you’ve chosen all your courses for next term?
Student: Well, not really, professor. Actually, I've got a problem.
Advisor: Oh?
Student: Yeah, well, I still need to take an American literature course; it's required for graduation. But I’ve been putting it off. But since my next term is my last...
Advisor: Yeah, you can’t put it off any longer!
Student: Right. The thing is, though ... it's not offered next term.
Advisor: I see. Hmm. Ah, how about... ah, taking the course at another university?
Student: I thought about that. It’s offered at City College, but … that’s so far away. Commuting back and forth would take me a couple of hours, you know, a big chunk of time with all my other studies and everything.
Advisor: True, but it's been done. Or... ah, there are a couple of graduate courses in American literature. Why not take one of those?
Student: Yeah, but... wouldn’t that be hard, though? I mean … it’s a graduate course; that’d be pretty intense.
Advisor: Yeah, it'd probably mean more studying than you’re used to, but I’m sure it's not beyond your abilities.
