F: Excuse me. Can you help me? I was looking for the Main Hall,
M: Maybe I can, actually. I’m looking for the Main Hall, too. I think it’s in the Administration building. Are you a new student?
F: Yes, I am
Repeat
M: I thought you looked as lost as me. I’m trying to find the Admin building, too, so that I can register for my course. But I don’t seem to be having much luck.
F: Well, look, according to this map of the campus here, you go straight up the steps, turn left and the building is on the right. OK, let’s see if we can find it.
M: Oh, this looks right. Oh, yeah, it must be. Look, there are hundreds of other people here!
F: There must be at least 50 people in the queues—we’ll be here till gone 2 o’clock at this rate.
M; And I’m starving!
F: So am I. M; Actually, 1 was on my way to the canteen to get something for lunch. Why don’t I go to the canteen and buy something and you stay here and wait?
F: Good idea.
M: What would you like? Pizza, sandwich, hot dog, fried rice. They do everything
F: Oh, something easy. Take away fried rice sounds good.
M: OK, fried…
F: No, on second thoughts, I’ll have a cheese and tomato sandwich.
M: Right—one cheese and tomato—anything to drink?
F: Yeah, get me a coffee, would you?
M: Oh, hot coffee’s a bit hard to carry. What about a coke or an orange juice?
F: Oh, um…get me an orange juice, then. Look, here’s five dollars.
M: Oh, take two dollars back, it shouldn’t cost me more than three dollars.
F: Well, keep the five and we’ll sort it out later. Oh, and could you get me an apple as well?
M: OK. Back in a minute.
F: Oh, hello. I’m here to register for the First Year Law course.
C: I’ll just have to fill out this form for our records. What’s your name?
F: Julia Perkins.
C: Can you spell that for me?
F: Yeah, that’s J-U-L-I-A P-E-R-K-I-N-S.
C: Address?
F: Flat 5, 15 Waratah Road, that’s W-A-R-A-T-A-H, Brisbane.
C: Brisbane…And your telephone number?
F: We haven’t got the phone on yet. We’ve only just moved in.
C: OK, well can you let us have the number once the phone’s connected and I’ll make a note here to be advised. And the course?
F: I beg your pardon?
C: What course are you doing?
F: First Year Law.
C: Right. Well, you’ll have to go across to the Law Faculty and get this card stamped and then you come back here with it and pay your union fee.
F: Thanks very much.
M: Oh, there you are.
F: I thought you were never going to come back.
M: Sorry! The canteen was absolutely packed and I had to wait for ages. Then when I got to the front of the queue they had hardly any food left. So I had to get you a slice of pizza. I’m sorry.
F: Oh, that’s OK. I could eat anything, I’m so hungry.
M: And there’s your bottle of orange juice and your apple. At least I managed that.
F: Great. Thanks a lot.
M: Oh and here’s your $ 2 back.
F: Don’t worry about it. Buy me a cup of coffee later!
M: Oh, alright then! So how’d you go?
F: Well in order to register we’re got to go to the Law Faculty and get this card stamped and then go back to the Admin building and pay the union fees. That means we’re registered. After that we have to go to the notice board to find out about lectures and then we have to put our names down for tutorial groups and go to the library to…
M: Great. Well first let’s sit down and have our lunch.
