[Q]: M: Oh, hi, Cathy. Sure. What's up? W: Well, I've been meaning to talk to you about the situation in the office. M: I'm not in there very often. It's so noisy that I can't work. W: That's exactly what I'm getting at. We're supposed to be able to do our preparation in that office, but have you noticed? Jack constantly has students coming in and get help with his course. M: We can't really ask him to stop having students come in for help, can we? W: No, of course not. But I'm not able to do my work and neither are you. I imagine it's the same for the others in the office. M: Hmm, could we ask for a kind of meeting room? When we have to talk to students, we could go to the meeting room. W: Good idea.
