It's at a corner, isn't it? W: Yes, it is. And I can see a restaurant at the other corner. M: Now I'm almost sure where you are. You turned at the second corner. You should have turned at the first corner from the railway station. W: Is that so? Then I'll go back to the first corner. M: It'll be better that way. You'll find a one-way traffic sign. That's where you have to turn to the left. Come up the slope to reach a six-storied apartment house. My room is on the third floor. W: I'm sure I won't have any trouble this time. Thanks.

[Q]: Read the below conversation. M: Last time I talked about the student services in the college. Today I'd like to talk about the Counselling Services. The College Counselling Service is located in the North Building. The counsellors are Ms Penny Rawson and Ms Ann David. I have asked Ms Rawson to join us today to discuss their role. Ms Rawson... What would the listener say?
****
[A]: W: Thank you. Both Ann and I are full-time counsellors. Students either come tons on their own or are referred to us by a tutor. We see students individually, run group therapy sessions and courses of sessions as we think necessary. We are here to help with any problems? no matter how great or small, such as homesickness, relationship difficulties, death and separation, sexual problems, undue stress due to work and so on. You will not be the first to be homesick, find college life stressful, or decisions problematic. So please don't hesitate to come and have a chat if there is anything bothering you. This is a confidential service but we are willing to arrange with your course directors, your tutors, Student Union officers, career department or doctors. We can also put you in touch with outside counselling services. As a part of the university, all counselling is free of charge for full-time students. I know some of you may feel that seeing a counsellor has a stigma attached to it, but let me assure you even the best balanced individuals encounter situations where they need someone to talk with. So please don't hesitate. You're welcome to make use of this service. We hope you will enjoy your studies at the university. Thank you.

The last one was on sale for $9,000. M: $9,000? Well, I may go and visit the exhibition tomorrow, but I'm not going tobuy anything. W: OK, let me know how it goes, won't you?
