Task1: On the First Day Script

Harrison: I‘m Harrison. Good to meet you. So you‘ve boug ht the books for this biology class. Jenny: Sure, I think eve ryone had to before class started. Harrison: No. Usually no o ne does much on the first day because it‘s still add-drop. J enny: What‘s that? Harrison: Changing from class to class to find out which one is best. Hey, where are you from? Jenny: P oland. Have you has this teacher before? I‘ve heard he is re

ally good. Harrison: He‘s good if you‘re a hand-worker. He expects a lot. Jenny: Oh, I guess that‘s good. I hope I can keep up with everyone else in the class. Maybe I need your he lp after class. Harrison: You‘re welcome. … Professor: All right. See you guys next week. Student: See you. Jenny: Harri son, wait up! Harrison: So what do you think about the profes sor‘s lecture? Jenny: I think half of what he said went over my head. Harrison: That‘s all right. A lot of what he said i s explain in the reading/ Jenny: Hey, would you mind if I bor rowed your notes tonight to look them over? Harrison: No prob lem. We don‘t have class until Wednesday. Here you go. Jenny: Thanks. I just want to make sure I‘m prepared for the semin ar. Harrison: , participation in the discussion is an importa nt part of the education here.

Seeing that Jenny has bought the books for the biology cl ass, Harrison says nobody does much on the first day because it‘s still add-drop, which means students are changing from class to class. Jenny knows the professor is really good. But Harrison warns her that the professor is good, only if stude nts are hand-workers, for he expects a lot. After class, Jenn y admits that half of what the professor said went over her h

ead, and Harrison assures her that a lot of what the professo r said is explained in the reading.

When Jenny asks to borrow Harrison notes, he says ―on pr oblem‖, for they don‘t have class until Wednesday. Finally, Harrison says participation in the discussion at the seminar is an important part of the education there.

Task 2: How to select elecive courses?

Script

Consider these tis on elective courses and you 'll choose those that will serve you best. To begin with, you should se lect the courses that fit your profession. It is a good idea to choose elective courses closely related to your chosen pro fession. Potential employers will appreciate every bit og ext ra training and knowledge that they don't have to give you. F or example, you may select elective courses in chemistry, bio logy or even physics if you are doing a science major. For bu siness majors, select electives in accounting, business admin istration, and even computing, as you will never know when th ese will come in handy in the corporate world. Moreover, you can choose an education that includes many fields of study. I f you are taking a heavy load of career-related courses, you may prefer electives that are not directly related to your ma

jor. If you receive a well-rounded education, some employers believe that you have better potential. For example, if you h ave courses in scince along with your business degree, you co uld possibly win a job over someone who majored purely in bus iness with no outside electives. Finally, you can also select a challenging elective course. Part of getting an education is learning how to learn, and elective courses should help yo u achieve this goal. You need not to memorize all the informa tion from each class, but you should get a betterrl understan ding of the world. So, pick elective courses that challenge y our belief system and make you look at the world in a differn t way. For instance, you can consider a philosophy elective i f you have been told that you are a little narrow-minded. 1 e xtra training 2 chemistry 3 accounting 4 many fields of study 5 better potential 6 business degree 7 challenging 8 how to learn 9 better understanding 10 narrow-minded

Task3: How to Get Straight A’s

Script

It is interesting to note how straight A students achieve academic excellence. Here, according to education experts an d students themselves are the secrets of super-achievers.

First, they know how to set priorities. Top students allo w no intrusions on study time. Once the books are open or the computer is turned on, phone calls go unanswered, TV shows u nwatched, snacks ignored. Study is business, and business com es before recreation. Also, good students can study anywhere and everywhere. Claudia Hill, an Arizona State University bus iness professor recalls a cross-country runner who worked out every day. Hill persuaded him to use his spare time to memor ize biology term. Then he posted a list of biology terms on t he mirror in the bathroom. He learned a few terms every day w hile brushing his teeth. Eventually, he scored high on the fi nal examination. Moreover, top students schedule their time w ell. Study times are strictly a matter of personal preference. Some work late at night when the house is quiet. Others awak e early. Still others study as soon as they come home from sc hool when the work is fresh in their minds. All agreed, howev er, on the need for consistency. A student says, ―Whatever I was doing, I maintained a certain period of time every day f or studying.‖ Another important characteristic of super-achi evers is that they know hoe to read, According to a book enti tled Getting Straight A‘s, the secret of good reading is to be ―an active reader-one who continually asks questions that

lead to a full understanding of the author‘s message‖. 1. Which of the following is NOT mentioned about super—achiever s starting to study? 2. What did the runner do to score high on the exam? 3. What is the thing all top students agree on?

4. What does the speaker mean by ―an active reader‖?

5. Wha t is the main idea of the passage?

Kes: 1B 2.C3. D 4.A 5.D

IV. Speaking Out

MODEL 1 You’re just going to have study hard

Nora: Only our first day back at school, and already I fe el like I‘ve learned a lot. Chris: Only our first day back a t school, and I already feel like I‘m up to my ears in homew ork. Nora: You‘re going to have to hit the books if you want to keep your grades up. Chris: Tell me about it! I already ha ve two reports, two books reports, a composition, an oral rep ort, and a research project—all due before midterms. Nora: W e could work together. Maybe some of my organized study habit would rub

Janet, there's something Kate and I wanted to discuss with you. Some people in college are organizing charity events this term. We've decided to get involved. Janet: Raising money for charity Right. In China, people raise money for charity but students don't usually do that. Mark: Students often do that here. Anyway, we're thinking of doing sponsored punting. Janet: Sponsored punting! What's that Kate: Sponsoring is when people pay you to do something — like run a long distance. So people would be sponsoring students to punt. Janet: What a great idea! I'd love to join you! Mark: That's why we're telling you about it. So that's decided then. Let's make a list of things we need to do. Kate: I'll do that. One of the first things we should do is choose the charity. Mark: Yes. And choose a day for the event. And we need to design the sponsorship form. I've got one here. Kate: That looks fine, but we must change the wording. Who wants to do that Mark: I'll do that. What have we got so far Kate: Choose a charity. Also a day for the event. Change the wording on the sponsorship form... Um ...

Unit 6-Conversation 1 Janet: What are you reading, Kate Kate:Alice in Wonderland, by Lewis Carroll. Do you know it Janet: I've heard of it, yes, but I've never read it. It's a 19th century children's story, isn't it K a te: That's right. It's very famous. It's set in Oxford. It starts with this young girl sitting on a river bank. The interesting thing is, the author, Lewis Carroll, he was an Oxford professor and he used to have tea with the girl's family on this river bank. Ja net: Oh, that's fascinating! I'll put it into my diary. Kate: Is that what you're writing I know you've been keeping a diary all the year. Janet: It's been a great year. I've had such a good time — so lucky to have Mark and Kate as friends. Feel I've been doing well with work. Much happier about asking questions in tutorials. Janet: My screen's gone dark. Mark: You're using the battery, remember. It's run out, obviously. Janet: It can't be the battery. It's still charged. Oh no it's still black. Oh dear, I hope it's nothing serious. I haven't backed anything up recently. Kate: That's not like you, Janet. Janet:I know, but I lost my memory stick. I really should have backed things up. How stupid of me not to do that! Supposing I've lost everything! Mark: Let me take a look. The power is still on. And also the operating system still seems to be working ... I think it has to be the graphics card ... But maybe that's not the problem ... Janet: If only I'd backed things up! Kate: Relax, Janet! We'll take it to the computer shop this afternoon. I'm sure it'll be OK. Janet: I hope so. Unit 6-Conversation 2 Janet: Tell me about Alice in Wonderland. Kate: I tell you what, I'll read it to you. Kate: Alice was beginning to get very tired of sitting by her sister on the bank and having nothing to do: Once or twice, she had peeped into the book her sister was reading, but it had no pictures or conversations in it, "and what is the use of a book," thought Alice, "without pictures or conversation" So she was considering in her own mind (as well as she could, for the hot day made her feel very sleepy and stupid) ... Janet: Kate, Mark, where are you going You've got my laptop! Kate: It's all right, Janet, we're taking it to the computer shop. We'll be back soon. Mark: It's not like Janet to forget to back up her work. Kate: She should have been more careful. Janet: It was stupid of me, I know! Stupid, stupid! Janet: Oh! It was a dream! What a relief! Kate: You were talking in your sleep. Janet: What was I saying Kate: "Stupid, stupid." M ark: I've sorted out your computer. Janet: Have you Oh, thank goodness! What was the problem Mark:It was the graphics card, as I predicted ... Janet: Is that what it was! I'm so relieved! Thanks, Mark. Kate: He's great, isn't he Janet: Yes. So are you, Kate. Kate: You're such a good friend. Unit 6-Outside view Computers are a very important part of our lives. They tell us about delays to transport. They drive trains, analyze evidence and control buildings. Did you know that 60 per cent of homes in Britain have got a PC (a personal computer) For many young people, playing computer games is their favorite way of spending spare time. Computers are a very important part of most areas of life in Britain-libraries, the police and in school. But they are becoming more important in our homes as well. They’ll even control the way we live-in “smart homes” or computer-controlled houses. The smart home is now a real possibility. It will become very common. A central computer will adjust the temperature, act as a burglar alarm and switch on lights, ready for you to come back home. And of course you will be able to give new instructions to the computer from your mobile phone. So if your plans change, your home will react to match. Many homes have got lots of televisions and several computers. The smart home will provide TV and Internet sockets in every room, so you’ll be able to do what you want whenever you want. If the temperature outside changes, the smart home will adjust the temperature levels inside. The computer will also close the blinds when it gets dark or to stop so much sun from entering a room. And if you want to eat when you get home, the computer will turn the oven on for you! Are computers taking over our lives In a survey, 44 per cent of young people between 11 and 16 said their PC was a trusted friend. Twenty per cent said they were happier at their computer than spending time with family or friends. Another survey found that people in Britain spend so much time on the phone, texting and reading emails that they no longer have time for conversation. What do you think about that Unit 6-Listening in

Unit 1 Starting out Outside view Julie My name's Julie Dearden, and I'm the Director of International Programmes here at Hertford College. Eugene My name's Eugene Berger, I studied here in Oxford for four years er, studying modern languages at Somerville College. Julie Oh, there are many Oxford traditions. Oxford is a very old university, the oldest English-speaking university in the, in the world. And so there are many traditions which are associated with the colleges, with the times of the year, and with sport, and with eating, for example. Eugene Each college is very different um, from um, the others, and it has its own character. Some colleges are very conservative, and some are much more liberal and have a tradition of um, kind of liberal politics. But there are also some specific traditions. Julie Formal Hall is when we all eat together here in college, the professors and the students. Usually it takes places at seven o'clock in the evening, and the professors sit on high table which is the table over here, and the students sit on common table, which are the tables here. But everybody eats together. It's a very beautiful evening because there are, there's a special meal and we eat by candlelight. Eugene I think er, the traditions that make Oxford so unique are firstly the Oxford Union and er, secondly, May Day. The Oxford Union being a debating society where speakers come from all around the world to address the students and even allow themselves to be questioned by the students, making it a very interesting forum. Julie My favourite is er, May Day. And May Day is the first day of May, and we have a tradition called May Morning, and on May Morning everybody gets up very early and the students have a celebration. There is a choir which sings on top of the tower at Magdalen College and all the people of the town and all the students go to listen to the singing. So it's very nice. Eugene The tradition that er, was most important to me was probably Summer Eights. I was a rower. And Summer Eights is a rowing competition, held in May in the summer term. And in this competition, each college is trying to improve its place which it won the previous year and gradually work its way up the river. Julie When the students take exams, they must go to a special building and it's called Examination Schools. And also they must wear a special uniform, so they wear E.gown like mine, a black gown, and they wear a white shirt, arid the men wear a white tie and black trousers. The women wear a white shirt and a black skirt or black trousers. And they must wear this uniform, which has a Latin name - sub fuse — and they must wear this uniform in order to take their examinations. Eugene I think the Oxford traditions lend character to the place and it's such an old institution, it should have traditions, but they can be very inconvenient. For example, sub fuse. This is the uniform that we are required according to the university rules, to wear. Julie They also wear flowers in their buttonholes, and those flowers are carnations. And they wear different colours, the students wear different coloured flowers for different examinations. So when you take your first exam you wear a white flower, and when you take your second exam you wear a pink flower, and when you take your final examination you wear a red carnation. Eugene So we have to dress up in a full black suit, starched collar, white bow tie and carry a mortarboard. And to write an exam in the summer heat whilst wearing all that which you're not allowed to take off is um, uncomfortable. Julie I really like the Oxford traditions, I think it's part of our history, and part of um, being a student or a teacher here at Oxford University. Listening in Passage 1 Interviewer Can you tell me something about the Ivy League? You're a professor at Harvard, is that right?
