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。
