　　Narrator

　　Listen to part of a conversation between a student and a professor.

　　Student

　　Hi, Professor Johnson.

　　Professor

　　Hi, Anna. What can I do for you?

　　Student

　　[upspeak]

　　Remember, I e-mailed you about getting the handouts from the class I missed the other day, and you said I could stop by and pick them up today.

　　Professor

　　Oh, that’s right. [friendly, but seeking an explanation]

　　You know, that’s the fourth class you’ve missed this semester, and that’s not doing your grade any good.

　　I assume you had a good reason for being out...

　　Student

　　[apologetically]

　　I know, I really hated to miss another class, but I had the flu, and I could hardly get out of bed. That’ll be the last class I miss, though. I promise.

　　Professor

　　[accepting her promise]

　　Okay...

　　[sincerely]

　　So how are you feeling now—are you all recovered?

　　Student

　　Well, I’m still not quite a hundred per cent, but I’m feeling much better than I did a few days ago.

　　Professor

　　Well, that’s good.

　　Okay, uh…

　　[regaining train of thought]

　　oh yes, the handouts. There were three of them, and I’ll get those for you in just a minute. They’re pretty self-explanatory, but if you have any questions, just send me an e-mail.

　　But...

　　Student

　　[interrupting]

　　Okay, thank you.

　　Professor

　　Sure. Uh, but we also watched a video, and we’ll be having an essay question about it on the next exam, so,

　　[searching for a solution]

　　uh… [thinking]

　　Hmmm…Do you have a VCR at home?

　　Student

　　Actually, I don’t, but I do have access to one.

　　Professor

　　Okay…Well I can lend it you, but the only thing is, you’d have to watch it tonight and get it back to me early tomorrow, because I’m going to be showing it in the other section of that class tomorrow afternoon.

　　Student

　　That’d be great.

　　Professor

　　But you really have to get it back to me tomorrow before my class.

　　Student

　　No problem. I can drop it off first thing in the morning if you’d like.

　　Professor

　　Okay...

　　[changing his mind]

　　You know what? How about if we do it this way. I’ll keep it for now and show it in my class tomorrow, and uh then you can drop by here and pick it up on Friday morning and keep it for the whole weekend, and just bring it with you when you come to class next week. How does that sound? Uh then you’ll have a couple of days to watch it, and you won’t have to worry about getting it back here tomorrow.

　　Student

　　[checking her schedule in her mind]

　　Let’s see, Friday morning...

　　[turning happy when she realizes she can do it]

　　Yeah, that’ll work.

　　Professor

　　Excellent. I’ll be here from about ten to eleven thirty.

　　Student

　　[leaving]

　　Great. I’ll see you then.

　　Professor

　　Uh, just a second. Let me get you those handouts.

　　Student

　　Oh, yeah. Thank you.
