  1. How do you come to the university each day?
  2. Train or bus?
  3. Or do you have a car?
  4. Oh, I always walk.
  5. I haven't got a car.
  6. And anyway, I live quite close.
  7. Do you know anything about parking rights on the campus?
  8. I was wondering whether students are allowed to park their cars on campus or not. Um, yes.
  9. I think it's possible for postgraduate students, but not for undergraduate students.
  10. That doesn't seem very fair.
  11. No, I suppose not.
  12. But there simply isn't enough room on the campus for everyone to park.
  13. Do you need a parking permit?
  14. Yeah, I believe you do.
  15. Where do I get that from?
  16. Um, I think you can get a parking sticker from the administration office. Where's that?
  17. It's in the building called Block G, right next to Block E. Block G? Yeah. Oh, right.
  18. And what happens to you if you don't buy a sticker? Do they...
  19. Clamp your wheels or give you a fine?
  20. No, I think they tow your car away. Oh, really? Yeah.
  21. And then they fine you as well.
  22. Because you have to pay to get the car back.
  23. I'd better get the sticker then. Yeah.
  24. Where exactly is the administration office again?
  25. I'm new to this university
  26. And I'm still trying to find my way around.
  27. Right.
  28. You go along Library Road, past the tennis courts on your left
  29. And the swimming pool on your right.
  30. And the administration office is opposite the car park on the left.
  31. You can't miss it.
  32. So it's up Library Road,
  33. Past the swimming pool, opposite the car park.
  34. Right.
  35. I'll go straight over there.
  36. Bye.
  37. And thanks for the help.
  38. Good morning.
  39. Can I help you?
  40. Yes.
  41. I was told to come over here to get a parking sticker.
  42. Is this the right place?
  43. Yes, it is.
  44. Are you a postgraduate student?
  45. Yes, I am.
  46. OK.
  47. Well, I'll just need to take some details. Your name? Richard Lee.
  48. That's spelt L-double-E. Richard Lee.
  49. And the address?
  50. Flat 13, 30 Enmore Road.
  51. How do you spell Enmore? E-N-M-O-R-E.
  52. And that's in the suburb of Newport. N-E-W-P-O-R-T. Faculty.
  53. I beg your pardon?
  54. Which faculty are you in?
  55. Oh, architecture, the Faculty of Architecture.
  56. Right.
  57. And the registration number of your car?
  58. Let me see. L-X-J-5-O...
  59. Oh, no, sorry.
  60. I always get that wrong. It's L-J-X... O-5-8-K. L-J-X-5-0-8-K.
  61. No, O-5-8-K. Ah.
  62. And what make is the car?
  63. It's a Ford. A Ford.
  64. Fine.
  65. Well, I'll just get you to sign here, and when you've paid the cashier,
  66. I'll be able to issue you with a sticker.
  67. Where do I pay?
  68. Just across the corridor in the cashier's office.
  69. Oh, but it's 12.30 now.
  70. And they close at 12.15 for lunch.
  71. But they open again at a quarter past two until 4.30. Oh.
  72. And they're not open till quarter past two?
  73. No.
  74. When you get your sticker,
  75. You must attach it to the front windscreen of your car.
  76. I'm afraid it's not valid
  77. If you don't have it stuck on the window.
  78. Right. I see.
  79. Thanks very much.
  80. I'll just wait here then.
