Listen to a conversation between two students.
M: Hey Jeff! How's it going?
M: Not too good. You know how I work as a lab assistant in one of the science labs?
W: Yeah...
M: Well, I was in there this afternoon and I had some textbooks with me and I accidentally left one of my psychology books in there. It's a special book our teacher loaned each student in the class, so I can't get it anywhere else and now the lab’s locked up for the night.
W: There's no way you can get back into the lab to get it?
M: No and I have a psychology test tomorrow morning and I really need the book to study.
W: So, what are you going to do?
M: Well, I could just study from my notes tonight then go to the Science Building and get my book early tomorrow morning. The lab opens at 6:00 AM and my test's at 8:00.W: 6:00 AM is pretty early.M: Yeah. I mean, I could do it, but I'd have to get up at like 5:00 and I wouldn't have much time to study the stuff in the book before the test.
W: Hmm...
M: My other option would be to study with another student from that class.
W: Do you know someone you could study with?
M: Yeah! There's a guy who sits next to me in class and he actually asked me if r d be interested in studying for the exam with him tonight.
W: And he has the book?
M: Yeah.
W: Well, why not do that? Then you'd have more time to study the stuff in the book.
M: Well, he's not a very good student. He has missed a lot of classes and he doesn't take good notes during the lectures.
W: So you might spend a lot of time tutoring him instead of studying the stuff you need to study.
M: Exactly, but he does have the book.
