W: Good morning!M: Good morning, can I help you?

W: Yes, is this where we register for the Beyond 21st Century Conference?

M: Yes.

What's your name and I'll get your conference bag.

W: Well.

I haven't registered yet.

I was told that I had been told that I'd be able to register today, so I hope that's OK.

I've just arrived in Melbourne.

M: That should be fine, if you are a student.

I'll need to take your details though.

So can I have your full name?

W: Yes, that's Melanie Mitchell.

M: OK, fair enough! And what's your address, Melanie?

W: I live in student accommodation at Sydney University.

So my address there is Room 66, Women's College, Newtown.

M: OK, and which faculty are you studying in?

W: I'm in the Faculty of Education.

I'm doing a master's in Primary School Teaching.

M: Right, and may I see your student card because I need to verify that you're a current student?

W: Yes, sure.

Here it is.

My number is.

994578EDM: OK, now do you want to attend all three days?

The conference runs from Thursday to Saturday.

W: Yes, I think so, if I can afford it.

What does it cost?

M: Well, you're eligible for a student discount -- which makes it $15 for a day registration or $40 for three days, though it is possible to register for half a day only.

W: I'll register for all three days, please.
