NARRATOR：

Listen to a conversation between two students.

FEMALE STUDENT：

Hi, Paul. How’s it going?

MALE STUDENT：

Not great.

FEMALE STUDENT：

Whats a matter?

MALE STUDENT：

I have a job interview tomorrow morning. And I just realized I forgot my suit at my parents’ house.

I forgot to bring it back with me after my last visit home.

I have to wear a suit to the interview … it’s expected.

FEMALE STUDENT：

What are you gonna do?

MALE STUDENT：

Well, my roommate said I could borrow his suit for the interview if I want to. It’s a nice suit too.

FEMALE STUDENT：

But he’s bigger than you. Does his suit fit?

MALE STUDENT：

I tried the trousers and suit coat on.

They’re kinda big on me—a little baggy.

I mean, I don’t look great in his suit, but I look OK I think. I could wear it.

FEMALE STUDENT：

But you might not make such a great impression on the employer—wearing a suit that doesn’t fit you very well.

MALE STUDENT：

And I do want them to hire me.

It’d give me the chance to work in a professional law office right outta college.

FEMALE STUDENT：

Well, the stores’ll still be open for a couple hours tonight.

Why don’t you go buy a new suit?

MALE STUDENT：

I could. It’d be nice to have a new suit. Mine’s pretty old.

FEMALE STUDENT：

So why don’t you go for it?

MALE STUDENT：

Suits are expensive. And I’ve been saving to buy a bicycle for a long time ...

I’m so sick of having to get everywhere on foot.

I almost have enough money saved up.

If I buy a suit, I’ll have to wait a while to get the bike.
