Latihan TOEFL Listening 1: Course Registration Conversation

Ini transkrip percakapan atau kuliah untuk latihan listening. Coba pahami isinya, lalu jawab 10 soal di bawah.

Student: Hi, I was hoping you could help me. I'm trying to switch out of my statistics course, but the system won't let me register for the new section.

Advisor: Let me take a look. Ah, I see — that section is already full. There's a waitlist, though. Do you want me to add your name to it?

Student: Actually, I was hoping to switch to the Tuesday-Thursday section instead, not just get into a different time for the same one I'm trying to leave.

Advisor: Oh, I misunderstood. Let me check that section... Good news, there's still room. But you'll need written permission from your current professor to drop after the deadline, since we're past the add/drop period.

Student: That's fine, I can get that today. Should I bring the form back here once it's signed?

Advisor: Yes, bring it to this office, and I'll process the switch myself so it goes through before the end of the week.
