Reda:Oh no! History  first! Come on. I think we could start with the Faculty of Law.

Roumila: Sorry. I don’t intend to specialize in law. If I pass my Baccalaureate, I will apply for history. So I‘d rather visit the University of History.

Reda: Why don’t we visit both? The University of History is in eastern Algiers. So, I suggest we start visiting the Faculty of Law, then we will drive to the University of history.

Roumila: Great! This means that you will be my driver.

Reda: Yes, sure!
