Intensive Listening
（Narration）Stu and receptionist at the Registrar's Office on the first day of the semester
（Stu W）Excuse me, I'm suppose to be having my physics class in science building, but not one in the class room, could you tell me where the class is ? physical 405, has it been moved ?
（receptionist）Well, there is a room assignment sheet on in the board outside this office.
yeah, I know, but my class is stil l isn't listed there. there must be some kinds of mistake or something. could you look it up, please?
em... ok, let me check on the computer. it's physics, right? wait, did you say physics 403?
yeah
I'm sorry, but it says here that it's canceled cancelled. you shuold get have got note letter know a lot from registrar's office about this.
what? I've never got it.
are you sure?
'cause it says on the computer that the letter have was sent out to students a week ago.
really? I should have got it by now.
I wonder if I threw it away with all the junk email by mistake.
well, it does happen. em ... let me check something. What's your name?
Woodhouse, Laura Woodhouse.
ok, Woodhouse ... let me see ... OK, that it says we have sent it to your apartment on send center street.
oh, that's my old apartment.
I'm move out of there a liitle while ago.
well, and I'm suppose that you have not changed your jmailing address at in the administration office. Well that would explain it.
Yeah, I guess that's it.but, how can they cancel the class after offering it? if I would have known it was gonna happen, I would have taken it last semester.
I know, it's really not convenient for you, I understand that. but if we don't have enough students signed up for the class course, the class college can't offer it. you know, it was some practical issues like we can't have an instructor when there're only a few students in the class. you see what I mean?
I guess, but now I don't what course I should take instead.
ok, let see, do you any course is you'll gonna take in next semester? if you do, you may might want to take them now and sign up physics 403 next semester.
yeah, I guess I can do that. I just hope it won't don't want to be cancelled again. do you know how many people have to been enrolled in order to keep a class being cancelled?
well, it depends on the class. but for that class, you have to have usually it'd be at least ten people, but since seems it was cancelled this semester they may might even do next semester it with less. but you know what you should do? give the physics department a call before a couple of weeks before the semester class starts. they will be able to tell you through if they're planning to do go through with it. it's their decision actually.
oh, ok, I'll do that. thanks for the info.
No problem, Sorry about the class.oh, why don't you change your mail address now? it only takes a minute.
oh, sure, I'll do that right away.
