 托福口說 Task 5 (2)

(1) 聽力對話

Listen to a conversation between two students.       

Man :  Hey, Jennifer. How are things going?      

Women  :  Well, I’m relieved this is the end of semester. But that’s actually part of my problem.      

Man :  What do you mean?      

Women  :  Can you believe this? My computer broke yesterday. So it’s at the shop being repaired. It won’t be read y until the end of n ext week which is when all my papers are due.      

Man :  Why not use the computer lab? They’ve got lots of machines there.      

Women  :   I know. But it gets so noisy there that I can’t keep my mind on my work. I mean, when I’m at a computer, I’m not just typing. I’m thinking! So I need quiet to concentrate.      

Man :  Maybe you can try going in the morning or evening. It might be less noisy then.      

Women  :  Maybe. But this time of year, everybody’s working on papers. It could be crowded even then.      

Man :  Hmm. What about calling back the computer rep air shop to see if they can have your computer read y at the beginning of next week instead? That would still give you enough time to finish your papers by the end of the week.      

Women  :  Oh! I haven’t thought of that! The only problem is the shop is closed today and tomorrow for the long holiday weekend. So it’ll be a few days before I can talk to them.
