　　TPO10 Conversation 2

　　Narrator

　　Listen to a conversation between a student and an employee in the University bookstore.

　　Student

　　Hi, I brought this book at the beginning of this semester, but, some things come up and… I’d like to return it.

　　Employee

　　Well, for full refund: store policy is that you have to return merchandises 2 weeks from the time it was purchased. Er~~but for science text books or anything having to do with specific courses. Wait...What is it for specific course?

　　Student

　　Yeah, but actually…

　　Employee

　　Well... for course books, the deadline is 4 weeks after the beginning of the semester. So this forth semester, the deadline was October. 1st.

　　Student

　　Ouch, then I missed it. But, why October.1st?

　　Employee

　　Well, I guess the reasoning is the by October. 1st, the semester is for gear. And everyone kind knows what courses all we are taking that semester

　　Student

　　I get it, so it mainly for people who decided to its drop from… to changes new courses early on.

　　Employee

　　Exactly!!! The books have to been in perfect condition of course. They can be marked up or looked use in any way for the full refund, I mean.

　　Student

　　Well, but, my situation is a little different. I hoped you might be able to make an exception.

　　Employee

　　Well, the policy is generally pretty rigid and this semester is almost over.

　　Student

　　Okay~ here what’s happen? Um~ I think my professor really miscalculated. Anyway the syllabus was away too ambitious in my opinion. There’re only 2 weeks of classes last semester and there are I‘d like 6 books on the syllabus that we haven’t even touched.

　　Employee

　　I see. So you’re hoping to return in this one.

　　Student

　　Yeah, professor already announce that we want be reading this one by Jane Boons and all the others I bought used

　　Employee

　　Jane Boons? Which book of hers?

　　Student

　　It called “Two serious ladies”

　　Employee

　　Oh, but you should keep it that one. Are you interested in literature?

　　Student

　　Well. I am in English major.

　　Employee

　　You are lucky to have professor who includes the last note writer like her on the syllabus, you know, not the usual authors we’ve all read.

　　Student

　　So you really think..

　　Employee

　　I do. And especially if you into literature

　　Student

　　Hem~~ well, this I wasn’t it expecting. I mean… er~em.. Wow~

　　Employee

　　I am hoping you were done to get been too pushy. If you prefer, you can return the book and arrange for store credit, you don't qualified for refund. Policy is policy after all, but you can make it exchange and you can use the credit for your books for the next semester. The credit carries over for one semester to the next.

　　Student

　　Emm…that’s good to know, but now I am really entry, I guess that just because we run out of time to read this book in class, doesn't mean that I cannot read it on my own time. You know, I think I’ll give it a try.
