M:I've got a big problem with the Shakespeare course that's required for my major.
W:Is that all filled up?
M:No, there's plenty of room, but I have to take the starter course before I can take Professor Miller's Shakespeare course. It is only offered in the evening.
W:You don't like evening classes?
M:That's not the point. I work in the cafe every evening. I need the money to pay my tuition.
W:You can ask someone that could switch hours with you. Maybe just switch a couple of evenings since the course probably only meets two times a week.
M:I wish I could. My boss just did me a favour by putting me on evenings. And he'll hit the ceiling if I ask to change again.
W:Wait a minute. I have an idea. Have you checked the course over at the community college? They might offer the starter course during the day.
M:That's a great idea. I'll go over and check it out.
W:Their courses are actually cheaper.
M:Thanks for your advice.

M:I was once in a strange city I didn't know at all, and what's more, I could not speak a word of the language. On my second day I got on the first bus that passed, rode on it for several stops, then got off and walked on. The first two hours passed pleasantly enough, then I decided to turn back to my hotel for lunch. After walking about for some time, I decided I had better ask the way. The trouble was that the only word I knew of the language was the name of the street in which I lived, and even that I pronounced badly. I stopped to ask a newspaperseller. He handed me a paper. I shook my head and repeated the name of the street and he put the paper into my hands. I had to give him some money and went on my way. The next person I asked was a policeman. He listened to me carefully, nodded and gently took me by the arm. There was a strange look in his eyes as he pointed left and right and left again. I nodded politely and began walking in the direction he pointed.About an hour passed and I noticed that the houses were getting fewer and fewer and green fields were appearing on either side of me. I had come all the way into the countryside. The only thing left for me to do was to find the nearest railway station.
