　　W:Well, let’s see. Hum, maybe you could do something with Romanticism, like, eh, write your anthropology paper on the cultural basis of Romanticism, and your history paper on the influence of the Romantic Poets on British foreign policy and, okay, and your English paper, on an analysis of some Romantic poems.

　　M:Hey, that’s not a bad idea. I’ve already started the research for one of the papers. So I can use that. What I can do to repay you?

　　W:You want to write up my chemistry lab for me?

　　M:I’d love to, but I’ve never taken chemistry, so I am not sure you’ll like the result.

　　W:Oh, well. No thanks necessary, then. Have a good weekend and try to get out of the library and get some sleep. You have big circles under your eyes.

　　M: Okay, I’ll try. See you later.

　　Conversation Two

　　W:Hi, Frank, what are you up to? Is that really a French grammar book?

　　M:Well, I’m trying to teach myself some French. When I go to Montreal next semester, I don’t want to sound like just another tourist. Most of the people there are bilingual.

　　W:Leave Boston to go to Montreal?　I didn’t notice this university had a program in Canada.

　　M:It doesn’t. I am planning to take a short leave and absence from school, so I can go there on my own.

　　W:What’s the reason for this sudden interest in Canada?

　　M:Well, actually I’ve been thinking about going for some time now. I know someone there who has been wanting me to visit.

　　W: A relative?

　　M:An old friend of my uncle’s runs a Chemical Engineering Department there, so I hope he can help me enroll in some interesting courses.

　　W:If you want those credits transferred back here later on, you’d better arrange for it before you leave. Don’t forget what happened to Susan after she came back from Rome.

　　M:Yeah, but her situation was different. I already have all the credits I need to graduate.

　　W:So you will be taking courses just for the sake of learning.

　　M: That will be a nice change, won’t it?
