Task 1: Registration

Good morning everyone. I welcome you to City University. I'm Betty Russell, and I work in the International Student Office. I have something important to tell you. First, you must register before August 28th. Come to our office and get your ID card. Then, you need to get 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 in our school. It is free for students to use it, but of course you have to show your ID card. With regard to medical assistance, universities have their own health centers, and all services are free for registered students.

Task 2: Live on campus

(M = person; Female)

Hello, Lisa. How is campus life?

Hello, John. Oh, not bad. Very good, actually.

Do you think so? I mean, do you like living on campus?

W: Yes, I like living here, because there are many people here and it's easy to make friends. What about you? Have you ever lived in a dormitory before?

No, this is the first time.

W: I think you'll find it convenient. Libraries, laboratories, sports centers and other facilities are on campus.

M: That's true. The atmosphere here is different from that outside. But I think living in the city also has its advantages, such as being close to shopping centers. You know, our university is far from the city.

W: But commuting to class … I mean, you have to get up so early to get to class on time. Then it will take a lot of time to go home.

M: Yes, but the food here ... seems to be the same in the cafeteria every day.

W: Well, I think the food here is ok. If you want to have a change, you can eat out occasionally.

M: That's right.

1. She thinks it's easy to make friends.

It is convenient to use the library, laboratory, sports center and many other facilities.

It is near the shopping center.

They have to get up so early to attend class on time. Then it will take a lot of time to go home.

It seems that every day is the same.

Task 3: Learn to speak English.

Hello, how are you? When most people learn English as a second language, they learn formal English. Unfortunately, studying it like this often makes you feel alienated and bored. The fact is that people in most English-speaking countries don't talk to each other in such a formal way. They talk to their friends and family in a casual way. In casual conversation, people tend to use many informal or colloquial words and shorten and connect their phrases. They'll say, "Hey, what's up?" Or "hey! What are you doing? These expressions are common and natural, which makes you look like a native English speaker. Using them may make people more interested in talking to you. This kind of English is more like what you hear in movies and TV programs. Speaking like this will make native English speakers feel more relaxed, and you will sound like a friendly person who speaks English well. Got it, man?

Michael: I'm fine, but school has been very busy since I came. I didn't even get a chance to breathe!

Jane: I know. I was especially crazy when I was a freshman. Hey, what's your major?

Michael: Travel and sightseeing.

Jane: Well, what are you going to do after graduation?

Michael: Well ... I really haven't decided yet. I think I'd like to work in a travel agency in this area. What about you?

Jane: Well, when I first started college. I majored in physics, but later I realized that it might be difficult for me to find a job in that field. I finally switched to computer science. IT shouldn't be difficult to find a job in the IT industry.

Michael: Do you have a part-time job to support yourself through your studies?

Jane: Well, I got a four-year scholarship to pay for my tuition.

Michael: Wow, you are so lucky!

Jane: Yes. What about you? Do you pay your own tuition?

Michael: Sort of. I work in a travel agency on weekends.

Jane: Travel agency? That seems to be a perfect experience for you! What are you doing there?

Michael: I am a tour guide. I show the tour group around the city.

Jane: Wow, then your English must be very good.

Michael: Actually, they are all tourists from China. That's why I got this job!
