M: Excuse me, I’d like to borrow several books but I don’t know how to find them in the computer index.
W: May I know the titles of the books?
M: Yes, The Sound and the Fury by William Faulkner and The Old Man and the Sea by Ernest Hemingway.
W: Just a second. I’ll see if I can find them for you.(9) The Sound and the Fury is on loan. It’s due back in about one week. I can reserve it for you if you really want it seriously.
M: You mean to say that when it’s returned I shall have the privilege to have it first?
W: That’s right.
M: Do you need my address or phone number?
W:(10)You just put your name and address on the front of this card and the name of that book on the back. We’ll drop the book in the mail-box and post it to you when it comes in.
M: That’s a good idea.(11)And what about The Old Man and the Sea?
W:(11)I am so sorry it is on reserve now.
M: So I can’t take it out of the library?
W: No, you can’t.
M: Can I borrow a novel called Babbit by Sinclair Lewis?
W: Yes, you can. But don’t forget to return it by the due date. It is due one month from today.
M: What if I’m not finished with it in a month?
W: You can come in and renew it unless someone else has reserved it.
M: What if I fail to come and renew it?
W: Then you’ll have to pay fines.
M: Thank you very much for your help.
