[originaltext]Applicant: Good morning, Sir.Librarian: Good morning. May I help

Applicant: Good morning, Sir.
Librarian: Good morning. May I help you?
Applicant: Yes, I’d like to get some information about this library. Who can join the library?
Librarian: Teachers of English, post-graduate and final year undergraduate University students and professionals may apply for membership.
Applicant: I see, How can I apply for membership?
Librarian: Well, first please fill in a library application form and put it in the box on the librarian’s desk, please make sure that you fill in the labels attached to the application form accurately. We’ll mail the application form to you at your work unit. Then, you must bring the application form which your work unit has stamped and your work card with you in person to the library. At this time you will be required to pay your library fee and you will be given your library tickets.
Applicant: Is it free for the ticket?
Librarian: I’m sorry, it’s not free. It costs 10 Yuan for Chinese and 50 Yuan for foreigners for a one year membership. The fee is non-refundable and will have to be paid annually.
Applicant: Well, after one year shall I have to reapply for library membership?
Librarian: Yes, you will have to.
Applicant: I see. What shall I bring when I come to pick up the library card?
Librarian: Please bring your student or work card; other ID won’t be accepted. Your stamped application form too. Oh one more important thing is that library application forms which are not picked up within one month will be discarded and you will have to reapply.
Applicant: I understand. How many books and cassettes can I borrow at one time?
Librarian: You may borrow 3 items at one time, books or cassettes. If a book and a cassette is a set, it counts as one item. Items must be returned within one month.
Applicant: Can I telephone the library to renew items for another month?
Librarian: Yes, you can. When you ring us to renew books, please give us your name and the first word of the title of the book, cassette, or video, please remember that you are allowed to renew only once.
Applicant: I see. Just now you said videos could be borrowed as well.
Librarian: Yes, that is right.
Applicant: How many videos can I borrow at a time?
Librarian: You may borrow one video at a time. The video must be returned in a week.
Applicant: Oh, only one week?
Librarian: Yes. If you cannot return it on time, please call or otherwise your video library card will be revoked. You are not permitted to borrow feature films. The feature films can only be watched in the library.
Applicant: Oh, I see, feature films cannot be borrowed, but where can I watch them?
Librarian: In the library. You must first register in person at the desk. You cannot register for someone else. If the library is busy, you are restricted to watching one video. If you have any problems with the machine, please inform the librarian.
Applicant: All right. Thank you very much.
