[00:00.00]Narrator:Listen to a conversation between a student and a consultant in the computer lab.[00:07.70]Student:Could you check the settings in this computer?[00:12.80]Consultant:Sure, what’s wrong?[00:14.40]Student:I’ve clicked print like four times but nothing’s happening.[00:18.80]Consultant:Well, this will be an easy fix. Today must be the first time you’ve been in the computer lab this month, huh?[00:25.90]Student:Yeah.[00:26.70]Consultant:Alright, well, on the first of this month we started something new. Okay, so you already knew how to send something to the printer.[00:35.40]Student:Right, that’s what I tried. [00:37.60]Consultant:So after that we added a new step, printing station. [00:42.00]Student:What are those?[00:43.70]Consultant:It’s a station. Well, a computer actually, next to every printer now. [00:48.60]You’ll need to go to the printing station and you’ll see a list of all the documents that people have sent to the printer.[00:55.60] Find your document on the list, click on it and it will print.[01:00.10]Student:Okay. [01:01.60]Consultant:Sometimes people print things by mistake so we end up wasting a lot of paper. We’re hoping that with this new system, this won’t happen as much. [01:11.10]Somebody might click print by mistake, but they’re not going to get up and walk to the printing station by mistake, too.[01:18.40]Student:I see. Thanks. [01:20.40]Consultant:No problem. You’ll also see your printing allotment at the station so you’ll know how many pages you’ve got left for this term. [01:29.00]Student:Oh, good. Last time my roommate ran out and had to pay for printing. [01:34.00]Consultant:Yeah, it’s an issue. I couldn’t help but notice you’re printing an application for the greenhouse? [01:40.70]Student:Yeah, an internship through the biology department. [01:44.20]Consultant:Oh, are you majoring in biology?[01:47.30]Student:Engineering, actually. This internship is not really related to my studies but I found it interesting and it’s good to branch out, going about new things in different areas.[01:59.40]Consultant:Oh, okay. I ask because I got a friend, someone I graduated with who works in the greenhouse. He says it’s a great place to work. [02:09.50]Student:Cool! Is your friend involved in the summer youth program at all? That’s what the internship is for. I hope he runs that program.[02:19.00] I think a lot of people will apply to this internship. It will be great to know somebody on the inside.[02:25.90]Consultant:I don’t know exactly what he does there. I didn’t even know that there was a youth program. [02:32.00]Student:Oh, I heard about it on the radio. The participants were going to plant some grasses and flowers and stuff for the new green roofs on campus. [02:42.10]Consultant:Green roof?[02:43.40]Student:Yeah, they’re basically gardens on the top of buildings. [02:47.30]Consultant:Why? So students can study plant growth or something? [02:50.90]Student:That’s not what they said on the radio. They said that green roofs can lower the temperature inside the building so you don’t have to spend as much on air conditioning.[03:01.60]Consultant:Oh, that’s a good idea.[03:03.90]Student:Yeah, and also in the city storm water runoff. You know, rainwater that runs into sewers and local lakes and rivers? [03:12.20]This runoff contaminant picks up a lot of pollution from the pavement. [03:17.40]Green roofs absorb some of that rain, which reduces runoff which in turn helps the water quality.
