M: Yes. I’m looking for information on courses in computer programming. I would need it for the fall semester. W: Do you want a day or evening course? M: Well, it would have to be an evening course since I work during the day. W: Aha. Have you taken any courses in data processing? M: No. W: Oh! Well, data processing is a course you have to take before you can take computer programming. M: Oh, I see. Well, when is it given? I hope it is not on Thursdays. W: Well, there’s a class that meets on Monday evenings at 7. M: Just once a week? W: Yes. But that’s almost 3 hours from 7 to 9:45. M: Oh! Well, that’s all right, I could manage that.
