W: I'm sorry, but I can't let you check out these books.
M: What do you mean?
W: The computer shows you got an overdue book, Art Work, and you can not borrow any book until you return it.
M: But that's impossible. I only started going to this school last month and I'm a business major not an artist.
W: Emh. This is pretty strange. Let me look out the records. You are Robert Smith?
M: Yeah.
W: And you live at No.25 western...
M: No, I am living on campus.
W: You did say you are Robert Smith, right?
M: Yeah, well, my full name is Robert James Smith.
W: Let me check one more thing on the computer. Aha, it's seen now. There's another Robert Smith, Robert El Smith. And it looks like he's the one who got the overdue book checked out.
M: Another Robert Smith? No kidding!
W: So I guess you two never met.
M: No, but I think I should probably try. I could at least figure out what's just happened.
W: Good idea. Now let's check out these books today. But I suggest start to use your middle name, or mid initial to avoid any problem like this in the future.
