Woman: Have you decided which seminar to take this term?
Man: I'm torn between the film history one and the creative writing workshop.
Woman: I took the writing workshop last year. It's a lot of work, but you get real feedback every week.
Man: That actually appeals to me. The film seminar just has two big essays.
Woman: Then the workshop might suit you better, if you don't mind writing something new each week.
Man: I think I'd enjoy the steady practice more than cramming for essays.
Woman: In that case, go for the workshop. Just sign up early, it fills fast.
Man: Good tip. I'll register tonight.
