Lisa:Are you ready to go? It's getting late. The lights are going to be off soon.

Classmate:Yes, I gotta pick up all my stuff, and bring them to my dorm.

Lisa:We don't need these. We are coming here tomorrow.

Classmate:Don't you know? There is an exam to be held in this classroom tomorrow. I think they have put the notice on the front gate of this building.

Lisa:Really? I didn't notice that. What exam?

Classmate:College English Test, Band 4. This classroom will not be available for the whole day.

Lisa:Hell. Where else are we going then? I need to finish my graduate paper tomorrow.

Classmate:I am going to the school library tomorrow morning and will stay there until evening.

Lisa:You must get there early. There is usually a long queue in front of the gate. All the people will jostle to get in when it opens.

Classmate:I know. I have met several queue jumpers, all big, robust boys.

Lisa:Big chunk and narrow mind. Could you save a seat for me anyway? I have to go to the job fair tomorrow.

Classmate:No problem. Do you want me to put your school bag on the desk?

Lisa:No. I have lost two bags because of that. I now just put a useless book on the desk. Here it is, “Fitness Consultant”.

Classmate:OK, I will take care of that.

Lisa:Thank you.

Classmate:It's not enough. You have to ask me for dinner.

利莎:你准备走了吗？很晚了，马上就要熄灯了。

同学:嗯，我马上收拾自己的东西，带回宿舍去。

利莎:我们没有必要这样呀。明天我们还会来的。

同学:你难道不知道吗？明天这个教室有考试。我想他们已经在楼前的大门上贴出通知了。

利莎:真的吗？我没有注意到，什么考试呀？

同学:大学英语四级考试。明天一整天这个教室都不会空着。

利莎:真糟糕。我们还能去哪儿呢？我明天得完成我的毕业论文呢？

同学:明天早上我去学校图书馆一直呆到晚上。

利莎:你要早点到。门前通常有很长的队伍。门一开大家就会蜂拥而进。

同学:我知道，我见过几个插队的，都是又高又壮的男生。

利莎:头脑简单，四肢发达。你能帮我占一个座位吗？我明天得去招聘会。

同学:没问题，你要我把你的书包放在桌子上吗？

利莎:别，我已经因为那样丢两个书包了。我现在只把没用的书放在桌子上。就这个，《健康顾问》。

同学:好的，我会给你占座位的。

利莎:谢谢！

同学:那还不够，你得请我吃饭。

Classmate: Hello, I'm Lisa's classmate. Recently, all of us have been busy reviewing our lessons. We have to save our seats in advance. The classroom where we learnt today will not be available tomorrow, so we have to go to the library. That means I must get up extra early to get a seat.
