NARRATOR：

Listen to a conversation between two students.

FEMALE STUDENT：

Hey, Matt. You got your paper done for class today?

MALE STUDENT：

No, I just realized its sitting on my desk.

I wrote it last night, but I forgot to bring it with me.

FEMALE STUDENT：

Uh oh. So what're you gonna do?

MALE STUDENT：

Well, I could drive home and get it.

I live off campus, but if I hurry,

I'd probably get home and bring the paper back before class was over.

You know how strict she is about late submissions.

FEMALE STUDENT：

Yeah, but you'd miss part of the class.

MALE STUDENT：

I know ...

FEMALE STUDENT：

Maybe you could talk to the professor ...

explain what happened ... and ask her if you could send it later by e-mail.

MALE STUDENT：

I know. But I'd have to do it after class 'cause she always starts class right on time.

There wouldn't be time to talk to her until after class.

FEMALE STUDENT：

Well, why don’t you do that and hope she doesn’t consider the paper late?
