George wants to apply for a library card so that he can borrow books there.
G=George C=Clerk
G:Hi!I've just arrived in Portland and was wondering if I could apply for a library card.
C:Yes, you can. Do you have a driver's license or any identification?
G:I am from Taiwan, so I don't have a driver's license. I only have a passport. Will it work?
C:Yes, that will be OK. May I see it please?
〈A moment later〉
C:Okey-doke!Here is your card, and this is some information about the library.
G:May I ask you how many books I can check out and for how long?
C:You can borrow up to 12 books for a maximum of 2 weeks.
G:Only two weeks?
C:Yes, but you can use your card and phone number to renew the books on the Internet if they are not reserved by other people.
G:That sounds better. Thanks.

(一會兒後)
館員:好了!這是您的借書證,而這裡是一些有關圖書館的資料。
