Dr. Carter. Im sorry to disturb you. But may I speak to you about my course? Dr. Carter Yes, come in, Amy. But anyway, I havent got long, because I have to give a lecture in half an hour. Amy Alright. I would just like to finish talking about the problem I have with you. I think it wont take a long time. Dr. Carter Sure. Whats the problem? Sit down. Amy Well, Im having problems with one of my subjects economics. Im not doing very well and Im a bit concerned about it. Dr. Carter You havent been doing too well, thats true. I think you failed your last assignment, didnt you? Amy Ive failed the last one and the one before and I only just scraped through the first one. The problem is that Im not very interested in economics. I think thats why I dont really try and then... Dr. Carter So what are you saying, Amy? Amy I really feel that I should drop economics and pick up Spanish again. Dr. Carter And have you ever dealt with Spanish? Amy Yeah, I did first year Spanish last year, and I got really good marks. Dr. Carter So here, I really dont understand why you took up economics this year then. Amy Well, everyone told me that economics was more important than a language and I felt itd be really useful for further study. Dr. Carter It seems to not be your interest. And are you studying Spanish by yourself? Amy Well, at first I thought I could keep up my Spanish on my own with a private teacher. The problem is that I just dont seem to have time to do everything. Dr. Carter Surely Spanish isnt too time consuming. Amy No, it wouldnt be except that I urn, Ive got a part-time job in a restaurant three nights a week...I cant give that up because I really need the money. I just urn, cant fit it all in. Dr. Carter Oh, you must have spent a lot on that. Do you think such a part-time job puts too much pressure on your curricular performance? Amy To some extent, it does definitely. Dr. Carter We could offer you extra help with the economics if you are willing to stick to it. Amy No, really Dr. Carter, I dont think it would be any good. I want to change. Dr. Carter Yes, I can see that your mind is made up. Well, I have no objection, especially as you have a background in Spanish, but youll have to go and see Dr. Brown in the Spanish Department and see whether hell accept you or not. Amy Ok, Ill go and see him first. Would you be able to have a word with him about it as well, Dr. Carter? Dr. Carter You can tell him to phone me for a reference if he wants to.
