Borrowing a Book at the Library

Listen to the whole passage

Listen to the whole passage once first, then practice sentence by sentence.

The first line is the other person opening the conversation; the "You" lines are suggestions for you to practice saying in this scenario (not a back-and-forth dialogue).
