Understanding the Purpose of the Librarian's Speech
Listen to the conversation between a student and a librarian.
Librarian: Hello! How can I help you today?
Student: Hi! I'm looking for some books on environmental science for my research paper. Do you have any recommendations?
Librarian: Certainly! We have a great section on that subject. In fact, we have a new arrival that I think you might find interesting. It's an in-depth study on climate change.
Student: That sounds perfect! Can you show me where it is?
Librarian: Of course! Follow me to the science section, and I will point it out to you. Would you like any help with other topics while you are here?
Student: Yes, actually. I'm also interested in sustainable agriculture.
Librarian: Great! There's a wonderful book on that too. I will make sure to show you where both books are located.
