Oh no! I forgot my computer, and I have lectures today.
|
Tom
|
Why do you need it for a lecture?
|
Anna
|
I use it to take notes.
|
Tom
|
Don’t you ever use pen and paper?
|
Anna

Never. It’s easier to organize my notes later if they’re on the computer.
|
Tom

But writing in a notepad is faster, and nothing gets deleted.

True, but you could lose your notepad. My notes are backed up online. Don’t you type them up after lectures?
|
Tom

No, I just use my handwritten notes when writing essays.
|
Anna
|
I can’t do that. I also check things online during lectures if I need to.
|
Tom
|
That would be too distracting for me! I’d be on the Internet all the time.

Anna

I guess I'll try your way. |
