W: Hi, John. Oh, not so bad. Pretty good in fact.

M: Is that what do you think? I mean, do you like living on campus?

W: Yeah, I enjoy living here because there‘s so many people around and it‘s easy to make friends. What about you? Have you ever lived in a dorm before? M: No, this is the first time.

W: I think you‘ll find it quite convenient. The library, labs, sports center and other facilities are right on campus.

M: That‘s true. The atmosphere here is different from the outside. But I guess living in town has its advantage too, like being close to the shopping center. You know, our university is so far from downtown.

W: But the commuting to classes…I mean, you would have to get up so early to get to classes on time. And then going home would be so much time.

M: Yeah, but the food here…it seems it‘s the same thing in the cafeteria every day.

W: Well, I think the food here is OK, and if you want a change, you can eat out once in a while. M: True.

2. It‘s convenient to use the library, the labs, the sports center and many other facilities. 3. It‘s near the shopping center.

4. They would have to get up so early to get to classes on time. And then it would take a lot of

time to get home.

5. It seems all the same every day.

Task 3: Learning to speak English

Hello, how are you? When most people learn English as a second language, they learn formal English. Unfortunately, learning it like this tends to make you feel distant and bored. The truth is, most people in English-speaking countries don‘t speak to each other in such a formal way. They speak in a casual way to their friends and families. When speaking casually, people tend to use a lot of informal or colloquial words, and also shorten and connect their phrases. They say things like ―Hey, what‘s up?‖ or ―Hey! Whatcha been dion‘?‖ These expressions are both common and natural, and make you seem like a native speaker. Using them may make people more interested in talking to you. This type of English is more like what you will hear in movies and TV shows. Speaking this way makes native speakers feel more relaxed and you will sound like a friendly person who speaks English well. You got that, buddy?

formal formally casual common native relaxed friendly

Michael: I‘m okay, but school has been really hectic since I came. I haven‘t even had a chance to

breathe!

Jane: I know. It‘s especially crazy when you‘re a freshman. Hey, what‘s your major? Michael: Travel and tourism.

Jane: Well, what do you plan to do after you graduate?

Michael: Uh… I really haven‘t decided. I think I‘d like to work for a travel agency in this area.

What about you?

Jane: Well, when I first started college. I majored in physics, but later I realized I might have a

hard time finding a job in that field. I ended up changing to computer science. Finding a job in the IT industry shouldn‘t be as difficult.

Jane: Yeah. How about you? Are you paying for school yourself? Michael: Sort of. I work weekends at travel agency.

I think you made the right decision. Actually, I have the same problem. You know, I‘m majoring in computer science, but I don‘t like it very much. I‘m really fond of travel and tourism, and I am considering changing my major, if it‘s possible. A, comment on B‘s word.

Right. Actually, I‘m working part-time at a chain store now. It does bring in some money, but I think experience is more important.

VI. Further Listening and Speaking Listening

Task 1: University Life

University life is a new and different experience for me. First of all, living at the university gives me a sense of responsibility, of being on my own. My parents aren‘t around to say, ―No, you‘re not going out tonight.‖ I decide everything for myself. Being around lots of friendly people is another aspect I like about university life. On my first say, when I arrived on campus, I was a bit confused about where I was going. An upperclassman noticed out I was looking for my dorm, he said, ―Oh, just follow me; that‘s where I‘m going.‖ Now, I can really say that I feel comfortable in the dorm because there are so many friendly people around to talk with. Finally, I LOVE HAVING Fridays off; I would not be able to deal with five days of classes in a row. How did I do it in high school? I love sleeping in on Fridays. I guess I‘m sort of a party animal, but it seems like I go out every Thursday night. It also seems like I don‘t get home until early the next day1 My head hits the pillow and I don‘t move until Friday afternoon.
