  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.
