Task 1: Enrolling Enrolling

Good morning, everyone. I'd like to welcome you to City University. I'm Betty Russell and I work in the International Students' Office. I have some important information for you. First, you must enroll by August 28th. Pick up your ID card at our office. Then, you'll need to pick up a library card so that you can borrow books from the library. Show them your ID card in the library and they will do it for you. You may be thinking about the sports facilities at our School. There's no charge for students, but of course you'll have to show your ID card when you go there. Concerning medical assistance, the University has its own health center, and all services are free for enrolled students.

Task 2: Living on Campus Living on Campus

John: Hi, Lisa. How’s life on campus?

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

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

Lisa: 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? John: No, this is my first time.

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

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

Lisa: But imagine commuting to classes... I mean, you would have to get up so early to get to class on time. And then going home would take so much time.

John: Yeah, but what about the food here? It seems like it’s the same thing in the cafeteria every day.

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

Task 3: Which comes first, day or night?

There was a student who wanted very much to gain admission to a study course. He was smart enough to get through the written test and appear for the personal interview. Since the boy answered all the questions correctly, the interviewer decided to corner him. “Tell me your choice,” said the interviewer to the boy. “I shall either ask you ten easy questions or one really difficult. Which option would you prefer? Think before you make up your mind.” The boy thought for a while and said, “My choice is one

really difficult question.”

“Well, you have made your own choice!” said the interviewer. “Tell me: Which comes first, day or night?” The boy was jolted first but he thought for a while and said, “It’s the day, sir.” “Why?” asked the interviewer. He was smiling. “Sorry, sir, but you promised me that you would only ask me one difficult question!” Admission to the course was thus secured.

Keys:

1. In order to gain admission to a study course. 2. To corner him.

3. He could answer either ten easy questions or one really difficult. 4. He was jolted / shocked.

5. Because the interviewer had promised that he would only ask one difficult question.

Task 4: An Announcement An Announcement

May I have your attention, please? The library will be closing in five minutes. Please make all final checkouts and prepare to leave. Thank you.

Let’s talk: School is really hectic.

Michael: Hi! I saw you yesterday with John. We room together. I'm Michael. Jane: Oh, hi, Mike, how are you doing?

Michael: I'm OK, 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.

Michael: Have you got a part-time job to support yourself through school? Jane: Well, I'm on a four-year scholarship that pays my tuition. Michael: Wow, lucky you!

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

Jane: A travel agency? That seems like a perfect experience for you! What do you do there?

Michael: I'm a tour guide. I show tour groups around the city. Jane: Wow, your English must be pretty good then.

Michael: Actually, they're all Chinese tourists. That's why I got the job!

Further Listening and Speaking

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, \you're not going out tonight.\I decide everything for myself. Being around lots of friendly people is another aspect of university life that I enjoy. When I arrived on campus for my first day, I was a bit confused about where I was going. An upperclassman noticed me and asked, \found out I was looking for my dorm, he said, \going.\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'm sort of a party animal; it seems like I go out every Thursday night. It also seems like I don't get home until early the next day! My head hits the pillow and I don't move until Friday afternoon. Keys:

1. new and different 2. on his own 3. a bit confused 4. talk with 5. sleep in

Task 2: Listening effectively

Though it makes up 50% of everyday communication, listening, it seems, is the least taught subject. Listening is more than just hearing: it requires understanding. In an educational setting, listening effectively is critical. Effective listening helps us do our assignments well, and take better notes. Doing these activities well results in better learning and, most of the time, in good grades. In a professional setting, listening is also critical. When you receive an oral message, your response must be correct. If you fail to listen to customers or clients, you may lose THEIR business, and YOUR job! In a personal setting, listening deepens your relationships. When we listen to someone, we say \only do we not receive the message, but we send the message that we are just plain dumb.
