W: Stan, do you have a minute?
M: Sure, Cathy. What's up?
W: Well, I've been meaning to talk to you about the situation in the office.
M: [5] I'm not in there very often. It's so noisy that I can't work.
W: That's exactly what I'm getting at. We're supposed to be able to do our preparation and marking in that office. But have you noticed? [6] Jack constantly has students coming in to get help with his course. A lot of people are going in and out.
M: Has anybody spoken to him about it?
W: No, not yet. But someone's going to have to.
M: We can't really ask him to stop having students come in for help, can we?
W: No, of course not. But I'm not able to do my work and neither are you. I imagine, it's the same for the others in the office.
M: [7] Hum... could we ask for a kind of meeting room? When teachers have to talk with the students, they could go to the meeting room and not use the office. You know, there's a room down the hall, a rather small room that we could ask to use. It's only for storing supplies.
W: You mean that little storage room? Oh, that would be too small.
M: Are you sure? With the cabinets taken out, it might be bigger than it looks.
W: [8] Come to think of it, you may be on to something. I'd like to have a look at that room. Can we go there now?
M: Sure, let's go.
