Questions 1 through 2. Listen to a conversation between two students.
M: I had a lot of expenses this quarter, and the money my parents sent didn't last very long. I may have to get some kind of job.
W: You can probably find something right here on campus. You should check out the job board in the student center.
M: Where is that exactly?
W: In the student center, on the first floor, next to counseling. In fact, I think it’s part of the counseling center. You can ask one of the counselors if you want more information about any of the jobs listed.
M: My problem is that I need the money but I don’t have a lot of spare time. I’d like a quiet job that would allow me to get some reading done.
W: Then go on over there. Maybe there's an opening for night watchman.

Questions 3 through 5. Listen to a conversation on a college campus.
M: Hey, Lorrie, are you doing anything on Wednesday afternoon?
W: I usually either go to the computer lab or go home alter I get out of class. Why?
M: Well, we're having our annual book sale at the library, and we need extra cashiers.
W: When is the sale?
M: All day Wednesday, from ten until six. The busiest time will be from around noon to three. If you're free in the afternoon, why not volunteer to help us out? The library will give you ten dollars in book credit for every hour you work. You have to use the credit at
this sale, but that will get you a lot of books. Most are priced around one or two dollars.
W: Why are you selling books from the library?
M: The sale includes mostly books people have donated to the library. There arc a lot of paperbacks and things like encyclopedias.

M: Oh. I had Professor Hahn for American history. We had to write a lot of papers. But one time we had a debate, and I'll never forget that.
W: Her assignments are challenging but useful. And she has the most interesting stories to illustrate her lectures. She really makes us think.

W: I’d like to, if I can.
M: Well, see this stack of paper? These are all journal articles that I need to go through for my research. It would really help if they were arranged more logically. Can you help me? I imagine it will take a few hours of your time.
W: Yes. of course I can. How do you want them organized?
