Daniel is looking for a book in a bookstore.
D=Daniel C=Clerk
D:Hi!Could you find a book for me?
C:Absolutely. What book are you looking for?Do you know the title or have the ISBN number?
D:No. I only know the author is Aurora Kinsey and it's a book about writing.
C:That works. Wait a second, please. Let me look it up in the computer.
〈One minute later〉
C:O.K., now I found two books with the same author's name. One is “The Elements of Style”; the other is “Exploring Psychology”
D:That's it. “The Elements of Style”is the one I want. I remember now.
C:Good. Now you just need to go upstairs to the writing section and then look for it alphabetically by author. There are also a great many related books up there.
D:Thank you.
丹尼爾正在書店裡找一本書。
D=丹尼爾 C=店員
丹尼爾:嗨!可以請你幫我找本書嗎?
店 員:沒問題。您在找什麼書呢?知道書名或ISBN國際書號嗎?
丹尼爾:我不知道,我只知道作者是Aurora Kinsey,是一本跟寫 作有關的書。
店 員:那就夠了。請等一下,我查一下電腦。
〈過了一會兒〉
店 員:好,現在我找到兩本作者名字相同的書,一本是《風格要素》,另一本是《探索心理》。
丹尼爾:就是它《風格要素》,我記起來了。
店 員:好的。現在您只需走上樓到寫作區,然後依作者名字的字母順序找。那裡也有很多相同主題的書。
丹尼爾:謝謝您。
