Now you’ll hear two long conversations.
Conversation One
W: Hi, Mike, do you have a minute to spare?
M: Yes, Sherry, how can I help you?
W: Well, I have been hearing loud music coming from your apartment and it seems like it is always during 9pm to 12pm when I am trying to study. Is it possible to turn down the volume of the music then?
M: Oh, I’m so sorry about that. I hadn’t been back to my apartment for two weeks, I just got back today. It must be my new roommate. I forgot to tell him how thin the walls are around here, so it may be my fault.
W: So could you tell him to lower the volume because it is disturbing during the night. It’s not that I don’t enjoy that kind of music. It’s just…well you know how it is around this time of the year with midterms and everything.
M: No problem, I will tell him.
W: Well, Mike, I appreciate it but I’m afraid that this is not the only issue I want to bring up. Your new roommate is also taking up 2 parking spaces in the parking lot. As you know, we are short of parking spaces here.
M: Really, I didn’t know that! That’s selfish of him to do so. Well, Sherry, not to worry. I’m sure I will give him a piece of my mind tonight.
W: I just hope you can settle things peacefully. I don’t want to be the villain causing you guys to have a stir up.
M: Oh, don’t worry. I just want to make the rules clear.
W: All right, I hope you can settle all of this soon. Sorry to give you all this bad news now.
M: Don’t worry, Sherry, this will all be settled without a quarrel.
