Unit 5 Student Life

Listening

Audio Track 3-5-1

A: You’re majoring in international business law, is that correct

B: That’s correct.

A: And what made you choose this university?

B: Well, I want to be a lawyer and this university has one of the most respected law departments in the country. It was an easy choice. What about you?

A: My major is international business. I researched several universities but decided on this one because it has strong links with many multinational businesses. I hope that will help when I graduate and start looking for jobs. B: How did you find the application process

A: Well, I had to take an entrance examination, of course. Then, I submitted an application form along with my official high school transcripts and a letter of recommendation.

B: And did you get accepted immediately?

A: No, I had to attend an interview. I remember I was very nervous.

B: It was exactly the same for me. But we must have interviewed well as we’re here now.

C: Hello, Kai. Have a seat. K: Hi, Ms. Danielson.

C: How’s it going Are you excited about graduating

K: I guess so. But there’s so much to do between now and then.

C: Well, let’s talk about that … Let me check your file here. So, what’s new Have you researched any colleges or universities

K: Well, I researched three … like you told me to.

C: Good, good. Which ones?

K: Let’s see … California State University, Harvard University, and City College. C: And?

K: Well, I applied to two: Harvard and City College. Cal State is just too far away. C: Sounds like you’ve been thinking about this seriously. That’s good. K: Yep.

C: Any news yet?

K: Well, I got accepted to City College. I haven’t heard anything from Harvard. I probably won’t get accepted there. C: Why do you say that?

K: You know … it’s so competitive. I don’t think my grades are good enough. C: Well, let’s wait and see.

K: I’ll probably go to City College. My brother went there. I visited the campus and I like it.

Lucia: And finally today, we have a report about graduating seniors. Jason Kim is standing by. … Jason, are you there?

Jason: Hi, Lucia.

Lucia: The Metro Times newspaper asked college seniors, “What are you going to do after you graduate”

Jason: That’s right, Lucia. The students gave some surprising answers, too. Lucia: For example …

Jason: Well, more than 50 percent of the students say that they aren’t going to start a new job right away.

Lucia: Well, what are their future plans?

Jason: Let’s ask some of them. … Excuse me. Mizuki: Yes?

Jason: I’m Jason Kim from XCA-TV. Your name, please?

Mizuki: Mizuki.

Jason: And what are you studying?

Mizuki: Art.

Jason: OK, Mizuki, what are you going to do after you graduate?

Mizuki: I don’t know. I’ll probably just chill out for a while. Jason: Chill out?

Mizuki: You know, relax.

Jason: OK, Mizuki. Thanks for your comments. … Hello, I’m Jason Kim and we’re doing a live report. What’s your name and major?

Robert: My name is Robert and I’m studying law. Jason: What are you going to do after you graduate?

Robert: Work

Maybe one of these days. But first I’d like to take a trip.

Jason: Thank you, Robert, and good luck. Well, that’s all for now. This has been Jason Kim, with my report on college seniors. Now, back to you, Lucia …

Audio Track 3-5-6

1. Hi, I’m Eduardo. I got accepted to college recently. Since the school is just in my neighborhood, I’m going to live at home. I will not apply for a scholarship because it is too hard to get it. I think I’ll be able to support myself by working part-time. In my view, money is very important though it is not everything.

So most probably I’ll study business. I hope I can make it big after graduation.

2. I’m Jill. I’m going to join a sorority. I want to make more friends of the same sex. I think that women should be united and should always help each other. I’m going to do volunteer work in my spare time to help those elderly ladies in the community with their errands. I’m not going to a large university since I can’t afford it.

3. I’m Max and this is Sara. We love each other. We’re not going to live in student housing. We plan to live in a medium-size apartment not far away from the university. We’re going to study together and work part-time.

Audio Track 3-5-7

I’m Mary and I’m twenty. I’m studying Lifelong Education at the University of Tokyo. I think it’s important for everyone to keep learning all their lives. That’s why I chose to major in Lifelong Education. Personally, I’m planning to further my education in an

American university after graduation. So right now, I’m taking an English class. I want to improve my English. I’m working part-time at a video store because I need to save money for my studies abroad.

I have a boyfriend and he wants to go and study in the United States too. We have similar interests and personalities. I’m going to get married and live in a house by the ocean. Sooner or later, I’ll have my own children. I will most probably stay at home to be a full-time mother before my children are sixteen years old. To witness their growth would be the most valuable thing in my life.

New graduates talk about the future

After the City College graduation ceremony yesterday, we talked to three students about their plans and their dreams.

Here is what Jameela Brown had to say about her future:

I worked so hard for four years. I need a break now! I majored in biology and

chemistry, and I had a summer job in a day care center. I’m going to take a year off before I start medical school. My plan is to travel and do volunteer work in West Africa. I’ll be a doctor someday but I’m not sure what kind of doctor I’ll be. Jennie Min talked about her plans:

I studied business, and it was easy for me to find a job. Next month I’ll move to New York to start work at Giant Corporation. But I don’t really want to spend my whole life working for a company. I hope I can start my own business. Maybe something with food. I love cooking! In college, I cooked dinner for my roommates every night. Shane Peterson told us about his big dream:

Wow! Four years really went fast. I can’t believe it’s graduation day! My major was computer science, but I spent all my free time playing music. I played guitar in two different bands. I also play electronic music, using computers. I have job interviews with three software companies next week. I’m not worried about getting a job, but I really want to play music, too. That’s my biggest dream.

Interviewer: We now have a winner! Stephanie Lee from Vancouver, Canada

answered our questions and won the top prize: She will be our youth travel reporter in Europe! She’s going to travel for three months and write about her experiences for our website. Do you have any international travel experience?

Stephanie: Yes, I do. Two years ago, I spent the summer in , China. I stayed with my grandmother and worked in the family business. I also visited Africa last year.

Interviewer: What do your travel experiences tell us about you?

Stephanie: I stayed in for about two months. I think that shows I can stay away from home for a long time. I don’t get homesick at all. In Africa, I went to

Tanzania. The highlight was climbing Mount Kilimanjaro. It’s the highest mountain in Africa. The climb was very hard. Two people turned back before they reached the top. I made it all the way! Once I start something, I never give up.

Interviewer: This job gives you a digital camera and pays your travel expenses. It doesn’t pay a salary. How will you get your spending money?

Stephanie: I had a part-time job in a restaurant. I had worked there for two years. Fortunately, I saved a lot of money, so I won’t have to worry about money for my trip to Europe.

Interviewer: Why should we choose you?

Stephanie: Because I love to travel! I’m a hard worker and will have no trouble filing reports on time — and I have a lot of energy!
