Bối cảnh: Một sinh viên (Student) đến thư viện công cộng để đăng ký thẻ thành viên. Nhân viên thư viện (Librarian) hướng dẫn thủ tục.
Librarian: Good morning. Welcome to Greenfield Public Library. How can I help you today?
Student: Hi, I'd like to get a library card. I just moved to this area for university and I heard you have a great collection.
Librarian: Of course! We have two types of membership. The standard card is free and lets you borrow up to five books at a time for two weeks. The premium card costs fifteen dollars a year, and you can borrow up to ten books for four weeks.
Student: I think the premium one sounds better for me since I need a lot of books for my courses. What do I need to sign up?
Librarian: You'll need a photo ID and proof of address. A utility bill or bank statement from the last three months will work. We also need a passport-sized photo for the card.
Student: I have my student ID and a bank statement. But I don't have a photo with me today. Can I bring it later?
Librarian: Absolutely. We can process your application today and issue a temporary card. Just bring the photo within seven days, and we'll make your permanent card. The temporary card works the same way, so you can start borrowing right away.
Student: That's perfect. One more question — do you have study rooms I can book?
Librarian: Yes, we have six study rooms on the second floor. Premium members can book them for free up to three hours a day. You just need to reserve online or at the front desk.
