ConversationInstructions on Using Computer: Narrator: Listen to a conversation between a student and an employee in the campus computer center. Employee: Hi, what can I help you with today? Student: Hi, um, I wanted to-you see, the thing is, I don't know much about computers, so I was wondering if, uh, if there's a class or something? So I can learn how to use computers, like to write papers for my classes. Employee: Oh, I see ... um, we don't really offer a course for beginners, since most students already have computing experience. But all the computers in our labs have a general tutorial installed on them. You could just go there and run it. Student: And the tutorial explains everything? I mean, it might sound strange but I've never used a computer. Employee: Well, all the computer labs on campus are staffed with student assistants, and I'm sure that any one of them would be more than willing to get you started. Student: Yeah? That sounds good. But is it expensive? Employee: No, in fact, it won't cost anything; it's one of the services of the computer center. Student: That's great. How do they – I mean, how do I get in touch with the student assistants? Should I just go to a computer lab and ask whoever's there? Employee: Sure, you could do that, or I can let you have a list of names of the students who are assistants in the labs. You might know one of them. Student: Actually, I think I'd prefer someone I don't know, um, so I can ask dumb questions ... Is there anyone you'd recommend? Employee: All of our student assistants are really knowledgeable about computers. I mean, they have to be, in order to work in the computer labs. It doesn't mean that they're necessarily good at teaching beginners. But you probably won't be a beginner for very long. Student: Hope not. Employee: And I just thought of something else. The bookstore has a lot of books on computers-there might be one for people like you. I mean, people who don't have a lot of experience with computers. I actually bought one for my father so he could learn how to use e-mail, basic word processing, that sort of thing-and it worked pretty well for him. Student: OK, I'II try that, too. And if the bookstore doesn't have it, they can just order it for me? Employee: Right. Now is there anything else I can help you with today? Student: Uh, just the list of names and the times they're working. I'd like to get going on this as soon as possible. Employee: Right. Good luck.
