Listen to a conversation between two students. 
(Man) 
Hey, Beth. I saw you running across campus this morning. What was the 
hurry? 
(Woman) 
Oh, hi, Todd. I was running to get to my psychology class. It’s really far 
from the biology class I have before it and the literature class after, and I 
thought that if I ran I wouldn’t be so late for my classes.
(Man) 
Seriously? Are you going to run across campus every morning for the 
whole semester? 
(Woman) 
Well, as it turned out, I was late for both my psychology class and my 
literature class anyway, so I don’t think it’s going to work out, even 
running. 
(Man) 
Why did you schedule your classes like that? 
(Woman) 
Because, that way, I have all of my classes Monday through Thursday in 
the morning. I can go to my part-time job in the afternoons and have 
Friday, Saturday, and Sunday free. 
(Man) 
I think you should change the psychology class to the same one that is 
offered in the afternoon and then work on Fridays. You’ll be able to get to 
class on time, which is probably more important than having Fridays off. 
(Woman) 
But I was hoping to do so much on those Fridays. I really need some 
long blocks of time for piano practice because I’m going to join the 
university jazz band next semester. If I don’t improve, I won’t be able to 
and they are really counting on me. 
(Man) 
Yeah, maybe that’s too important to give up, unless… 
(Woman) 
Unless what? 
(Man) 
It’s just a thought, but you could get a bike to ride to your psychology 
class. Then you’d be on time, right? 
(Woman) 
I guess but, uh…I’d have to ride on the street with all the traffic. I mean, 
I’ve seen people do it, but it’s kind of scary looking to me. 
(Man) 
Well, since it’s only the first week of the semester, you can still change to 
the afternoon class pretty easily. 
(Woman) 
Hmm…I’ll have to think about whether that bike ride every day is worth 
having Fridays off or not.
