问题 "Learning Center"
Why does the woman say this:
Narrator: Listen to a conversation on campus between two students.
Man: Hi. Are you Paula?
Woman: Jim?
Man: Hi. Nice to meet you.
Woman: Glad to meet you.
Man: So, you need some tutoring in English?  Q1
Woman: Yeah. I’m taking English composition, and I’m not doing very well on my essays.
Man: Right. Urn, well, first let’s see if we can figure out a time to meet.., that we’re both free.
Woman: Okay.
Man: How about Mondays? Maybe in the morning? I don’t have any classes until eleven on
   Mondays.
Woman: That would work, but I was hoping we could, you know, meet more than once a week.
Man: Oh. Well, Tuesdays are out. I’ve got classes and, uh, I work at the library part time on
   Tuesdays and Thursdays. But I could get together on Wednesdays.
Woman: In the morning?
Man: Probably nine-thirty would be best. That way we’d have an hour to work before I’d have
   to get ready for my eleven o’clock.
Woman: So that would be two hours a week then?
Man: I could do that.
Woman: Oh, but, would that be extra? You know, would I need topay you for the extra session?  Q2
Man: No. Um, just so you meet me here at the Learning Center, and we both sign in, then I’ll
   get paid. Tutoring is free, to you, I mean. The school pays me. But we both have to  Q3
   show up. If you don’t show up and sign in for a session, then I don’t get paid. So...
Woman: Oh, don’t worry about that. I really need the help. I won’t miss any sessions unless I’m
   sick or something.
Man: Okay then. So you want me to help you with your essays?
Woman: Right. I could bring you some that have, you know, comments on them. I’m getting C’s
   and...
Man: Well, that’s not too bad. Once I see some of your writing, we should be able to pull that
   up toa B.
Woman: You think so?
Man: Sure. But I need to explain something. Some of my students in the past...they  Q4
   expected me to write their essays for them. But that’s not what a tutor is supposed to
   do, My job is to help you be a better writer.
Woman: Oh, I understand that. But you’ll read my essays, right?
Man: Oh yeah. No problem. We’ll read them together, and I’ll make suggestions.
Woman: Great. I think part of the problem is I just don’t understand the teacher’s comments.
   Maybe you can help me figure them out.
Man: Sure. Who’s the teacher?
Woman: Simpson.
Man: No proble. I’ve tutored a couple of her students, so I know more or less where she’s  Q5
   coming from. Okay, then. I guess we’ll meet here on Monday.
Woman: I’ll be here. Nine-thirty you said.
Man: Just sign in when you get here.
