DIALOGUE READING

Please read aloud the dialogue with your tutor.

READ

Female:
 I can’t believe it. When I was about to enter my room last night, I found out that I lost my key.
Male:
 Have you tried asking the lost and found department?
Female:
 Yes. They told me that my key is not there.
I informed the admin office that I lost my key. I think I lost it when I went hiking yesterday.
Male:
 If that’s the case, just consider it lost. You should ask for a new one.
Female:
 I asked the admin office for a spare key and they said that it’ll take a week. They can’t lend me a key due to their security policy.
I always have to ask them to open the door for me. It is a waste of time as it takes 10 minutes to go to the office.
Male:
 Why don’t you try to ask your roommate to go back to the room with you? You are in the same class, aren’t you?
Female:
 Well, my roommate is in her hometown. She won’t be back until next week.
Male:
 I see. All you can do now is to wait for your new key. You just have to be patient for another week.
Female:
 Yeah. But I have to be in the library until 9:00 p.m. to work on my report.
The admin office is open until 6:00 p.m. only.

CHECK YOUR ANSWERS

We will check the sample answers. Please repeat after me.

SAMPLE ANSWERS

The female student and the male student are talking about a problem the female student has.
The problem is that she lost her key when she went hiking.
The male student offered two suggestions to help her solve her problem.
His first suggestion is to ask the admin office to make a new key and wait for a week.
The second suggestion is to ask her roommate to go back to the room with her.
I agree with the first suggestion, because it offers a permanent solution to the problem. Asking her roommate to go back to the room together is inconvenient for both of them. Waiting for a week for the admin office to give her a new key is inconvenient but it is worth it.

Nicky: When I was an elementary school student, I would go to school at 6:00 am.
Kevin: It’s too early! Why did you have to go to school that early?
Nicky: Oh, classes were divided into two. There were morning classes and afternoon classes. It’s because there were 50 class sections in my school. Each class section had 70 students.
Kevin: Wow! That’s quite a lot. I don’t think that will happen in my country because of the aging population.
Nicky: Well, I’ve just learned some differences between Philippine and Japanese schools. Also, I heard that in Japan, schools serve lunch to students.
