Latihan TOEFL Listening 3: Library Book Renewal

Ini transkrip percakapan atau kuliah untuk latihan listening. Coba pahami isinya, lalu jawab 10 soal di bawah.

Student: Hi, I have a couple of books that are due tomorrow, but I still need them for my research paper. Is there any way I can keep them longer?

Librarian: Sure, as long as no one else has requested them, you can renew online through your account, or I can do it for you right now if you have your student ID.

Student: I tried renewing online last night, but it said the books were already at the maximum renewal limit.

Librarian: Ah, that makes sense — most books can only be renewed twice. After that, you'd need to return them and check them out again, or, if it's for an ongoing research project, you can request a research extension through the front desk.

Student: What does the research extension involve?

Librarian: You'll need to fill out a short form explaining your project and how much longer you need the materials. It usually gets approved within a day, and it extends your checkout by three weeks.
