03 Office Visit

W: Hey, professor.
M: Hi Kim. What’s up?
W: I want to go on the summer trip. I’ve always wanted to

study the Great Barrier Reef. I can’t believe that our

school is sending students out there. 

M: Sign up!

W: I would, but, well, I don’t think I can afford it.
M: Why not? Aren’t you working?
W: Yes, but pretty much all of my paycheck goes to either

books or rent.
M: Do you know about the Good Student Scholarship? 

W: No. What’s that?
M: It’s a scholarship specifically for students traveling to

foreign countries. You need at least a 3.0 GPA. What’s

your GPA?
W: Umm...I think I have a 3.7.

M: Well, you definitely should apply. The scholarship is easy

to fill out, and they award it to about 10 students a semester. Go to the scholarship office. The applications are there.

W: Really?
M: I’ll even write you a recommendation. I really want you

to go on this trip.
W: Thanks Professor. I appreciate all of the information.

04 Service Encounter

M: Can you help me? I’m trying to write a paper on the poet James Wright. But there is only one biographical source on him in this library, and I can’t find it anywhere.

W: Do you have the call number?
M: Yes. Hold on a second. Here it is.
W: Okay. Well, let’s see. It should be right here, but I don’t

see it.
M: Yeah. I looked all over this shelf, and I couldn’t find it. 

W: Well, let me check the library catalogue to see if it’s

checked out. No. The computer says that it’s here in

the library. Someone must have misplaced it.
M: This paper is due in a couple of days, and I really need

that book to finish it.
W: Well, sometimes we keep our books in an electronic

reserve. That’s where we scan the document into the

computer.
M: Where can I check to see if it’s in the database?
W: I’ll check for you. Here it is. It looks like Wright’s entire

biography is in our electronic reserve. You should be able to print out the materials you need from our library’s computers.

M: Okay. Thanks.
