C. A clerk in the bookstore. Listening text
1. - Hi, David! Nice to meet you here in the library! - Me too. Do you know where Linda is?
- I’m just going to meet her in my office in half an hour. She’s now having her class.
2. M -How about driving into the country on Thursday？
W -Well, I’ll see if I can get the afternoon off, and I’d like to see my parents first.
3. W -How was your research going, Jack?
M -Well, not bad. I talked to some students and got their opinions. And now I’ve got to write the paper based on the information I’ve collected.
4. W – Tom said he could get your club some tickets to the game if you’re interested. M – If we are interested. Look, Susan. We’ve been trying to get tickets everywhere.
5. M- It’s sunny and warm. Stop studying and come into the garden with me. W – Why not?
6. M – Is everything going well according to the plan.
W – Our store will open two weeks before Christmas.
M – I guess we should announce ourselves soon. Tell people we’re coming. Put up a big sign.
W - Sure. The minute they see the sign, they will be lining up. M – To show their anger.
W- Yeah. They are lining up not to buy things but to show their anger. Because some people think train stores all look the same.
M – They’ll hate us in the beginning. But we’ll * them in the end.
7. W - Cann’t you do something about the service in the hotel, manager?
M - I’m sorry maddam. What’s the problem exactly? W - My breakfast, that’s the problem. M- Yes?
W – I ordered breakfast from room service . Oh, at least half an hour ago. M- Yes?
W – I’ve telephoned room service three times, but my breakfast still hasn’t come. M– I see.
W– I’ve got an important meeting at nine o’clock. An now it seems I’ll have to go there without breakfast. Really, I don’t think this is good enough.
M– I’m very sorry about this maddam. You ordered breakfast half an hour ago and you’ve phoned three times since then. W – That’s right.

M – I’m really sorry about that. You should have received your breakfast no later than five to ten minutes after you had ordered it.
W – That’s what I thought.
M – The problem may be that there are short of people in the kitchens recently. But I’ll ]look into this. And I’ll make sure that the breakfast is sent to you immediately. Full English breakfast, was it?
W- Yes. Full English breakfast.
M – very well madam. I’ll deal with this myself and I’ll have it sent up to your room right away.
8. M - Morrie, what is an AHT?
W - Well, AHT stands for animal health technician. I graduated from California’s first AHT class at Peals College. Some of us may work in the countryside taking care of cattle horses or sheep. Some may work in research labs. But most of us work in pet hospitals. M - I know that you work in a pet hospital. What do you do there?
W - We run blood and other tests, give shorts and prepare medicine. We also cut nails, clean teeth, give bathe and clean the cages. We help keep the clinic running smoothly. Making sure there is enough of medicine and equipment.
M - Indeed, you have so much to do. Doctor Blake told me that he couldn’t have done so much without you.
9. M- Where are you going on vacation this year?
W - Well, we were thinking about going on the voyage to the Caribbean Sea. It’s a beautiful part of the world.
M - It certainly is. I went on one last year. But the weather can sometimes be really bad. W - I know. I have been reading weather reports for the Caribbean on the internet. They seem to have lots of storms.
M- They certainly do. When we went on a voyage we stopped at Jomaker. And the islands and had been hit by storms two weeks before. You could still see a lot of damage. W - Well, if I decide to go. I’ll just have to hope for the best.
10. Well I’d love to share with you something about my life. I was a director of labor relations for a big company ten years ago. And I should have been happy. I had everything that I thought I wanted. But going into work every day took away a bit of myself. Until finally I stopped and said, “ Where is that lively college girl who used to read tens of books and do fun things? Where is she?” I knew I have to look for her. Then one day, walking through a children’s bookstore, it hit me. I loved these books. The richness of the pictures, the power of these words. I gathered an

armful of books and said, “ this is what I want to do.” And since then, I have treated writing like a full time job. I wrote over twenty stories in the next year. And most of them got sent back with letters saying they were not good enough. But I didn’t give up. I think it’s because of that love that I have been able not to just write one book but nine books in the last ten years. When I worked in the company, I worked sixty-hour weeks because I had to. Now I work sixty-hour weeks because I love it. If I hadn't made that choice to take a chance to do something that really * me . I don’t think I could have lived with myself.
