Listen to a conversation between a student and an employee at the food services' office.S: This is the university food services' office, right?E: Yes. You're here to sign up for a meal plan, I'm guessing?S: No, actually already have one. I'm actually a member of the multicultural students club. We're organizing an event next month and we like to have catered food.E: Oh, okay. You're in the right place, but our catering coordinator is on vacation this week. I usually only deal with student dining contracts.S: Oh, no, I was really hoping to get all the catering details taken care of right away. We're kind of running out of time. It's scheduled for Friday, the 12th.E: Well, all right. I'll try my best to help, at least until the catering coordinator gets back. So what kind of event is it exactly?S: Oh, great! So, our club, the multicultural students club, it's about sharing different cultural, different cultures and foods, sharing them with students. We'd like to set up a buffet with all kinds of foods, like from a bunch of different countries.E: To expose students to international cuisine?S: Right, right! And it's going to be free for students. We're going to have more than food. There's going to be this folk music group from Ireland performing afterwards and a dance group from Brazil. We were awarded a grant by the student activities' committee, so we're doing as much as we can.E: That sounds like fun! How many people are you expecting?S: Probably 40 or 50? We're hosting it in the student union ballroom.E: Yeah, that's plenty big enough. You know, last year, the student art club spent a lot of time and money planning a grand opening celebration for the renovated campus art gallery. But they didn't realize there was already a popular sports event scheduled at the same time. So almost no one came to the gallery's grand opening.S: I know, I was there, it was awful.E: So, you already knew to check the calendar. Anyway, I'll reserve the date for catering. You'll have to get a member of the faculty to sign this authorization form. First, a club advisor or a professor who can endorse you, it's university policy. I'll ask the catering coordinator to email you next week about the food you want to order and the price.

听一段学生和餐饮服务办公室工作人员之间的对话。学生：这里是大学餐饮服务办公室，对吧？工作人员：是的。我猜你是来报名餐饮计划的？学生：不是，实际上我已经报名了。我是多元文化学生俱乐部的成员。我们下个月要组织一场活动，想请人提供餐饮服务。工作人员：哦，好的。你来对地方了，但我们的餐饮协调员这周在休假。我通常只负责学生餐饮合同。学生：哦，不，我真希望能马上把餐饮的所有细节都搞定。我们时间有点紧了。活动定在 12 号星期五。工作人员：好吧，我会尽力帮忙，至少在餐饮协调员回来之前。那么，这到底是个什么样的活动呢？学生：哦，太好了！是这样的，我们俱乐部，多元文化学生俱乐部，旨在与学生们分享不同的文化和美食。我们想设置一个自助餐，提供来自不同国家的各种食物。工作人员：是想让学生们接触国际美食吗？学生：对，没错！而且对学生是免费的。我们的活动可不只有美食。之后会有一个来自爱尔兰的民间音乐团体表演，还有一个来自巴西的舞蹈团体表演。我们得到了学生活动委员会的资助，所以我们想尽可能把活动办得丰富些。工作人员：听起来很有趣！你们预计会有多少人参加？学生：大概 40 到 50 人吧。我们打算在学生会宴会厅举办活动。工作人员：嗯，那个场地足够大了。你知道吗，去年，学生艺术俱乐部花了大量时间和金钱，为翻新的校园艺术画廊策划了一场盛大的开幕庆典。但他们没注意到同一时间已经安排了一场很受欢迎的体育赛事。所以几乎没人来参加画廊的开幕活动。学生：我知道，我当时在场，太糟糕了。工作人员：所以，你已经知道要查看日程表了。不管怎样，我会为你预订餐饮服务的日期。你得找一位教员在这份授权表格上签字。可以是俱乐部的指导老师或者能为你作担保的教授，这是学校的规定。我会让餐饮协调员下周给你发邮件，沟通你想预订的食物和价格。
