Amy  Morning, Dr. Carter. I’m sorry to disturb you. But may I speak to you about my course?
Dr. Carter  Yes, come in, Amy. But anyway, I haven’t got long, because I have to give a lecture in half an hour.
Amy  Alright. I would just like to finish talking about the problem I have with you. think it won’t take a long time.
Dr. Carter  Sure. What’s the problem? Sit down.
Amy  Well, I’m having problems with one of my subject—economics. I’m not doing very well and I’m a bit concerned about it.
Dr. Carter  You haven’t been doing too well, that’s true. I think you failed your last assignment, didn’t you?
Amy  I’ve failed the last one and the one before  and I only just scraped through the first one. The problem is that I’m not very interested in economics. I think that’s why I don’t really try and then...
Dr. Carter  So what are you saying, Amy?
Amy  I really feel that I should drop economics and pick up Spanish again.
Dr. Carter  And have you ever dealt with Spanish?
Amy  Yeah, I did first year Spanish last year, and I got really good marks.
Dr. Carter  So here, I really don’t understand why you took up economics this year then.
Amy  Well, everyone told me that economics was more important than a language and I felt it’d be really useful for further study.
Dr. Carter  It seems to not be your interest. And are you studying Spanish by yourself?
Amy  Well, at first I thought I could keep up my Spanish on my own with a private teacher. The problem is that I just don’t seem to have time to do everything.
Dr. Carter  Surely Spanish isn’t too time consuming.
Amy  No, it wouldn’t be except that I um, I’ve got a part-time job in a restaurant three nights a week...I can’t give that up because I really need the money. I just um, can’t fit it all in.
Dr. Carter  Oh, you must have spent a lot on that. Do you think such a part-time job puts too much pressure on your curricular performance?
Amy  To some extent, it does definitely.
Dr. Carter  We could offer you extra help with the economics if you are willing to stick to it.
Amy  No, really Dr. Carter, I don’t think it would be any good. I want to change.
Dr. Carter  Yes, I can see that your mind is made up. Well, I have no objection, especially as you have a background in Spanish, but you’ll have to go and see Dr. Brown in the Spanish Department and see whether he’ll accept you or not.
Amy  Ok, I’ll go and see him first. Would you be able to have a word with him about it as well, Dr. Carter?
Dr. Carter  You can tell him to phone me for a reference if he wants to. I must get to my lecture now. Let me know how you get on.
Amy  Thanks, Dr. Carter. I will.
