Questions 1 through 2. Listen to a conversation between a student and a professor.
M: Professor Park?
W: Hello, Tony. How can I help you?
M: Professor Park, I have a problem. My father had to have surgery, and I have to go to Oklahoma. I don’t know how long I'll be gone. I was wondering if I could take an Incomplete for your class.
W: I’m so sorry to hear about your father. Of course you can take a grade of Incomplete. It means you would have six weeks to make up the term paper and the final exam. There is also a form that you need to fill out that I have to sign.
M: I've got the form right here.
W: Oh, then why don't we take care of it right now?

M: The cashier in the cafeteria sent me here. I’d like to change my meal plan.
W: What plan do you have now?
M: Two meals a day, breakfast and dinner. But I have an early morning class three days a week, and I don't have time to eat breakfast in the cafeteria.
W: What, no breakfast? That’s not good!
M: Oh, I still eat! We take turns bringing doughnuts or bagels to have at the break.
W: Glad to hear it. So ... uh ... what you have now is Plan B. And what did you want to do?
M: Well, I was thinking of switching to dinner only, if I can do that, and get a refund for the breakfast I don’t eat.
W: Do you know about Plan C?
M: Plan C?
W: It's for lunch and dinner, and costs only $20 more than Plan B.
M: Oh, really? Hmm. That sounds like a good deal.

Questions 6 through 7. Listen to a conversation between a student and a professor.
W: Professor Curtis, may 1 ask you something?
M: Of course.
W: My daughter was sick yesterday, and I had to stay home with her. I was wondering — could I make up the quiz?
M: I usually don’t do that for quizzes, only for tests.
W: But I'm concerned this will affect my grade. I need to do well in this class.
M: Then I've got an idea. If you want to show me what you’ve learned, give me a one-page report, summarizing the most important thing you got out of the chapter.
W: Oh, I can do that. That’s even better than a quiz. Thank you, Professor Curtis.

M: Dr. Bryant is on sabbatical, but Professor Slocum says he'd be happy to visit our class.
W: I don’t know Professor Slocum.
M: He’s an expert on the natural history of the region and has written several books on the topic. I think he’ll be an excellent addition to our seminar.
W: Good work, Jaspar! This assignment to invite a guest speaker has turned out to be harder than I thought.
M: But it’s a great assignment, and besides, everyone has to do it. Look at all the professional contacts we're making!
W: You’re right, it’s very useful. Thanks, again, and I'll see you tomorrow!
