M: Sorry, I haven’t.
W: How come? Did you forget about it?
M: I just couldn’t find time to go to the post office.
(Text 5)
W: Is it new?
M: No. It was our colleague Andrew’s. He has moved to the eleventh floor, so he let me keep it.
W: Oh, I really need such a large desk to hold all my piles of paper.
M: I wish I could help you out, but I’m not willing to give it up!

M: Megan, how is the presentation for the conference going?
W: Well, that’s what I wanted to speak to you about. I’ve just finished writing the presentation, but I really have no idea if it’s at the right level for the audience. I was wondering, since you have been to lots of these conferences, could you listen to my presentation and tell me what you think?
M: Yes, of course. However, I have a deadline on Thursday, and my schedule is pretty full … When is your conference?
W: The 8th.

W: How much were you thinking of for these rooms?
M: I used to think of $1,000. But now I think $700 per room would be a fair price.
W: Any other costs?
M: Er, just the cleaner who comes in once a week. So that would be another $30 a month for cleaning.
W: OK. Does the house have a good view?
M: Sure, it looks out over the ocean. No garden, but there’s a lot to look at from the lounge. And we’re right by the beach.
W: Oh, that’s really nice. I wish I was there myself. Anything else worth mentioning?
M: Sure. There is a room for playing ping-pong and a pool.
W: Sounds good. How’s it heated?
M: It’s got central heating but no fireplace.
W: That’s bad. It would be good to have an open fire in winter. OK, I’ll post this up for you and I hope you have some luck.

W: The school cafeteria is in the center of the school and serves as a popular meeting place for students and teachers alike. Although it is a pleasant place to sit and eat, it does have some points that could be improved upon. The first is the menu. It has a limited number of dishes, and the daily specials are the same each week. There is little variety and there are no specific vegetarian meals. In addition, there is no healthy food, such as salads or fish on the menu. There is a lot of fried food, too. Many of the meals also contain frozen food rather than fresh food and in general there needs to be more choice of both vegetarian and healthier meals. There is a limited choice of drinks, too. Another thing that students often complain about is the amount charged for the meals. Some of the dishes are the same price as those found outside the school and a majority of students don’t eat there for this reason. If the prices were more reasonable, more students would eat there and the cafeteria would make a bigger profit. Finally, the cafeteria is spacious, so on no occasion does anyone have to wait for a seat. The cafeteria is clean, as is the kitchen, and the staff are very pleasant and helpful, so in most respects the cafeteria meets the needs of the students. With a few minor changes, such as the menu changed and the prices reduced, it would be more perfect.
