2　Daily Dialogue　日常會話

Loving Reading

Pat:Hi, Linda. Where are you going?

Linda:Library.

Pat:Oh, great！I just moved here. Do you mind telling me how to use the library here?

Linda:Of course. You can use your ID card to apply for a library card.Then you can check out books, popular magazines or newspapers.

Pat:How many books am I allowed to check out at a time?

Linda:No more than four books. But you can read magazines and newspapers within the library.

Pat:How long can I keep the books?

Linda:For 2 weeks. And you can come in and get a one-week extension after that.But if they are late, the fee is 35 cents per book per day.So return them on time.

Pat:I see. I'll make sure to return them back on time.Do you always go to library?

Linda:Not too much. I'd like to read newspapers.I have subscribed some newspapers, as Newspaper Week, popular paper and evening paper.

Pat:That's too much. There are too many articles on it.Those always confuse me.

Linda:My approach is to skim the pages first to see what's important and what isn't. And then choose the hot news and big news to read.
