【正确答案】Key points: The woman must take a course during the summer in order to transfer to the university in the fall. However, she had planned to take a sailboat trip in the summer.

Another solution is to cancel the sailboat trip and take the course in the summer so she can go to the university in the fall. Opinions about the preferred solution will vary.

【答案解析】[解析] M: Are you still going to transfer to the university in the fall? W: I want to, but I've got a problem. I just talked to my adviser, and it seems I still need one more course to complete my basic requirements. M: You do? W: Yeah. I dropped a course a while back and never made it up. My adviser says I have to make up the course this summer, or I won't be able to transfer to the U. M: I thought you were sailing to Hawaii this summer. W: That's what I was planning to do. I promised my friend I'd go on the sailboat trip, and we've already paid a deposit. We were looking forward to it. M: The sailboat trip sounds great. W: I know! I really want to go! M: You can delay going to the university, can't you? I mean, you don't have to transfer in the fall. You could start there next spring, right? W: I'm not sure. M: Oh, hmm. I don't know. Sailing sounds great, but the university is important too. Maybe you should cancel your trip and take the course you need. You can probably get a refund for the deposit you paid on the sailboat. W: Maybe. M: You just have to decide what's more important to you: going sailing or going to the university. W: Right. M: Well, good luck with that. W: Thanks.
