Conversation One

　　W: Excuse me, are you going to buy that book?

　　M: Well, I need it for a class but it’s awfully¹ expensive.

　　W: Oh, we must be in the same class. Introduction to British Literature?

　　M: Yes, that’s the one. Were you there yesterday for the first class?

　　W: I sure was. Professor Robert really seems to know his subject.

　　M: Yes, I took his Shakespeare course last semester² and it was very good. He likes listening to his students.

　　W: That’s a relief. I’m a biology major and I was a little uncertain about taking an English course.

　　M: I’m an English major and this is a required course. But now I’m in trouble because I’m not sure I can afford this book.

　　W: Hey, I’ve got an idea. Why don’t we split³ the cost and share the book?

　　M: Sounds great. Do you live on campus⁴?

　　W: Yeah, I live on the 10th floor of Butler Hall.

　　M: Perfect. I live on the 3rd floor of Butler. We should have no trouble sharing the book. I can bring it up to your room right after I wrap up the assignment.

　　W: It’s a deal.
