English conversation At the Library

Praveen : Good afternoon, Madam, (greeting)

Librarian : Good afternoon, Praveen. What can I do for you? (offering to help)

Praveen : I need to get some information on animal cells.

Librarian : What is it for, Praveen?

Praveen : I have to make a presentation of animal cells in the seminar next week.

Librarian : That’s fine. (appreciating a proposal)

Praveen : Could you tell me where I can get it, Madam? (making a polite request)

Librarian : Look at that last cupboard. It’s marked REFERENCE.

Praveen : Do you mean the one next to the LITERATURE cupboard?

Librarian : Exactly! There are a number of encyclopaedias in that

cupboard. You will find there ‘Children’s Science Encyclopaedia’. That’s the right book for your reference.

Praveen : Oh, I see. May I borrow it for a day or two? (asking for permission)

Librarian : Sorry, the reference books are not for lending.

Praveen : There is no place around. May I sit here and take notes?

Librarian : Yes, you may. (granting permission)

Praveen : Thank you, Madam. (thanking)

Librarian :Welcome. (responding to thanks)
