Script 대본 Roteiro Guion Сценарій

Listen to a conversation.

M: My car wouldn't start again this morning. I think it might be the battery.
W: That's the second time this month, isn't it? Maybe you should just replace it.
M: Probably. I keep hoping it'll hold out a little longer, but I guess I'm just delaying the inevitable.
W: I'd get it checked today. You don't want to get stranded somewhere.
M: You're right. I'll stop by the auto shop on my way home.

Listen to a conversation.

W: Did you see the email about the new dress code policy? Apparently, business casual is not an option anymore on Fridays.
M: Yeah, I read it. I guess they want everyone to look more polished for client visits.
W: That makes sense, but I liked being able to wear jeans on Fridays.
M: Same here. Though I heard it's only for weeks when clients are actually scheduled to visit.
W: Oh, that's not so bad then. I must have missed that part.
M: Yeah, easy to miss. Double check with HR just to be sure.

Listen to a conversation.

W: I ordered a package last week, and the app says it was delivered yesterday, but it's not at my door.
M: That's strange. Did you check with your neighbors? Sometimes drivers leave things at the wrong unit.
W: I did, and nobody has it. I'm starting to think it might have been taken.
M: Before you jump to any conclusions, pull up the delivery photo in the app. Most carriers attach one now.
W: Oh, good idea, I didn't think to check that. Wait, this isn't even my building. It's the one across the street.
M: There you go. Just report it through the app with that photo. They'll probably redeliver it or refund you.

Listen to a conversation.

W: I tried swiping my student ID at the library entrance and it won't scan. I think it's demagnetized.
M: That's happened to me before. You'll need to get a new one from the ID office in the student center.
W: Ugh, and I have a paper due tomorrow. I really need the library computers tonight.
M: There's a temporary pass you can request at the front desk — just show them your driver's license. It's free, and it's good for 24 hours.
W: Oh, I didn't know that was an option. I'll ask on my way in.
M: Just remember to get the actual replacement card this week, though. The temporary pass only works once.
