Please answer this: W: Hi, Jack, it's a lot of work. But I am having a good time. Are you planning to attend college next year? M: Yeah. Can you tell me what facilities they have for disabled students? My wheelchair doesn't always allow me to get into buildings. W: You should inquire at Student Services. They can discuss your medical history with you confidentially and make allowances. My friends Shannon and Rosie use computers to do their exams, so in your case, I'm sure it would not be a problem. M: What about the wheelchair access? W: The newer buildings have elevators and wide doors, but the older buildings have not been upgraded to accommodate handicapped people as far as I know. What faculty are you planning to go into? M: I am thinking of doing engineering. W: Hmm. Engineering is in the old Adams building. I don't know if there is an elevator. M: Do the buses that go out to campus have facilities to bring wheelchairs on board? W: Yes, that I know for sure. All the buses are equipped with electronic lifts, and there are seats that fold back. M: What about the sidewalks? W: I think most of the sidewalks have been leveled at the corners, so you could probably use your wheelchair, but I am not sure. In fact, if you would like, why don't you come with me? I'll be taking the bus and I could show you around once we got there. M: That's really nice of you, Raphel. I'd really like that. W: Okay, I will come to your house about 8:30 in the morning and we can take the commuter train into town, then catch the bus up to the university. M: Great, I look forward to it.

Answer: M: Hi, Queenie, how are you enjoying yourself at university?
Problem: M: By how much? W: It looks to me as if it's getting on for almost 400 pounds. M: Oh, does that mean we won't be able to get our holiday? W: I honestly don't think that we could afford to go really. M: But we haven't had a holiday for three years! Just because we can't afford it. W: That's true. M: I was really looking forward to this holiday... three weeks in Barbados at Christmas-warmth, sea, sunshine. W: I know. So was I. M: Can't we ask your mother for the money? Can't we borrow the money from somewhere for the holiday? W: Well, You know we're still in debt over the car. And we've always said we wouldn't borrow money for things that weren't absolutely essential. A holiday isn't essential. M: I really feel it is this time. W: Well, let's look at cheaper holidays then. Let's look at somewhere closer to home, right. Let's look at Europe. M: Well, there's no point in going to Europe at Christmas, is there? W: Well, you said you wanted to get away from the cold here. Well, you only want to go where it's hot and sunny? M: Yes, I want some warmth. W: Oh, I think we ought to borrow the money from your mother. M: I don't want to talk about it anymore. Let's discuss it some other time. What was said before this conversation?
