    Benjamin: Could you please help me to check out the book?
    Librarian: Sure, what's the author's name, please.
    Benjamin: I can't remember that clearly. It probably be Charles…
    Librarian: Charles Dickens?
    Benjamin: No, no, no. I'm not interested in literature.
    Librarian: OK, do you know the title of the book?
    Benjamin: Oh, sorry. I'm always absent-minded. I remember that I've put a note in my pocket.
    Librarian: So, show me the note please.
    Benjamin: I can't find it now.
    Librarian: Oh, such bad luck, sir. Can you please name the category of the book?
    Benjamin: Let me see. It's not fiction. It's biography.
    Librarian: OK, I'll search it for you. A moment, please.
    Benjamin: Thanks.

    Librarian: I am a librarian in our city library. My job calls for great patience because there are so many people with a poor memory. They would always ask you to check out a book without telling you the author's name or even the title of the book. Anyway, I still like my job.
