Dialogue 2

A:

Excuse me. Can you tell me how to find some books on social science?
B:

Sure. You see all these little drawers here and all the way around the walls?
A:

Yes.
B:

These drawers contain cards describing every book in our library. Together they constitute the library’s “card catalog”. You can see that each drawer runs from one part of the alphabet to another. For example, this drawer goes from SCA to SCM.
A:

So if I’m looking for a look called A History of Western Society, I’d just look under “A”.
B:

No. You’d look under “W”. The articles “a” and “the” don’t count in our alphabetization, and card are generally omitted for extremely common words and phrases such as “history of”, “introduction to”, “story of” and so forth.
A:

What if I don’t know the title of the book?
B:

When you can look under the author’s name.
A:

Could you give me an example?
B:

Suppose you want to find a book by your professor, William Smith. You’d look under SMITH and then WILLIAM. Since that’s a very common name, you may have to go through several “William Smith” until you come to the one who wrote book on the subject you’re interested in.

A:

Hi, Bob! We’ve been working hard at our lessons for a fortnight. So why don’t we take it easy his weekend?
B:

Okay! What do you suggest?
A:

How about seeing a play? I hear Hamlet is on at the National Theater.
B:

Is that so? Why not?
A:

(Looking at a newspaper.) Oh, dear me! There’s no performance at the National theater this weekend. So we have to go to cinema instead.
B:

What’s on?
A:

Let me see…um, Gone With the Wind. It is on at six cinemas on Saturday night.
B:

That sounds interesting. Which is the nearest?
A:

Ah, The Royal, I think.
B:

What time does it start?
A:

Why don’t we go to the 7:30 show? It is convenient to us, I think.
B:

But we won’t have enough time for dinner.
A:

Do you want to go the earlier or the later show?
B:

Ah… I fancy going the later show.
A:

Then, there’s the 9:30 show.
B:

That’s Okay, I think.
A:

All right.

A:

What are your weekend arrangements?
B:

There’re many things I can do on weekends.
A:

What sort of things are you interested in?
B:

I’m keen on taking short trips to nearby scenic spots. More often than not, I go with some of my friends. By the way, what are your favorites?
A:

I love swimming and cycling. On Sunday morning I have swimming practice for an hour. In the afternoon, I just ride my bike around the city or along the country roads for almost two hours.
B:

That’s great! I think they do you a lot of good. Where do you swim?
A:

Mostly in the city’s swimming pool. But on occasion, I go to the beach with friends. Well, what do you do at leisure?
B:

I’m fond of dancing.
A:

Good. You really know how to enjoy yourself.
B:

Thanks. And you, too, I think.
