Speaker 1 (1)
Section three.
Speaker 1 (2)
You will hear two new students, Jane and Tim, talking about their university studies.
Speaker 1 (3)
First, you have some time to look at questions 21 to 25.
Speaker 1 (4)
Now listen carefully to the discussion and answer questions 21 to 25.
Speaker 2 (7)
How are you?
Speaker 2 (9)
I've been wondering when I'd run into you.
Speaker 2 (10)
Have you been here long?
Speaker 3 (11)
I arrived yesterday, yeah, on Sunday.
Speaker 3 (12)
How about you?
Speaker 2 (13)
I got here a few days ago on Saturday.
Speaker 2 (15)
Wait a minute.
Speaker 2 (16)
What's today?
Speaker 2 (18)
Friday, not Saturday.
Speaker 3 (19)
But we didn't have to be here till today.
Speaker 2 (22)
But I wanted to get my things moved into my room and just take a look around.
Speaker 2 (24)
So did you decide to do English in the end?
Speaker 3 (26)
I changed my mind and opted for history instead.
Speaker 3 (27)
And you're doing biology, if I remember correctly.
Speaker 2 (29)
Although to start with, I I couldn't decide between Latin geography.
Speaker 3 (30)
And how much reading have you got?
Speaker 3 (31)
I was given an amazingly long list of books to read.
Speaker 2 (33)
It does look pretty long.
Speaker 3 (34)
Well, I counted 57.
Speaker 3 (35)
I can hardly believe it.
Speaker 3 (36)
What's your list like?
Speaker 2 (37)
Well, it's not as long as yours, but it's still pretty big.
Speaker 2 (38)
There are 43.
Speaker 2 (39)
Don't know how I'm gonna get through them all.
Speaker 3 (40)
Well, you don't have to read them all this week.
Speaker 3 (41)
You just have to stay ahead of the lectures and seminars.
Speaker 3 (43)
Have you got your class schedule yet?
Speaker 2 (45)
It came with a reading list.
Speaker 2 (46)
When's your first lecture?
Speaker 3 (48)
How about you?
Speaker 2 (49)
The day after.
Speaker 2 (50)
It's my busiest day.
Speaker 2 (51)
I've got two lectures in the morning and one in the afternoon.
Speaker 1 (53)
the discussion continues, you have some time to look at questions 26 to 30.
Speaker 1 (54)
Now listen carefully and answer questions 26 to 30.
Speaker 2 (55)
It's gonna be different from school, isn't it?
Speaker 3 (57)
Particularly the lectures.
Speaker 3 (58)
Have you got any special strategy for listening to lectures?
Speaker 2 (59)
Well, I'm going to use a cassette recorder and record them all.
Speaker 3 (61)
Are you allowed to?
Speaker 2 (63)
Lots of people do it nowadays.
Speaker 2 (64)
It means you can listen to the lectures all over again later and make really good notes.
Speaker 3 (65)
I couldn't do that.
Speaker 3 (66)
I like to take notes as I'm listening.
Speaker 3 (67)
I usually find I get all the important points.
Speaker 3 (68)
Reading is different, of course.
Speaker 3 (69)
My approach is to skim the book first to see what's important and what isn't.
Speaker 3 (70)
Saves hours of time.
Speaker 2 (71)
But what if you miss something?
Speaker 3 (72)
You don't mean you're going to read every word, do you?
Speaker 2 (73)
Well, that's what I usually do.
Speaker 3 (74)
Well, that's up to you, but I think you're crazy.
Speaker 2 (75)
What's your first lecture on anyway?
Speaker 3 (76)
Oh, it's a lecture on the French Revolution.
Speaker 2 (77)
The French Revolution.
Speaker 2 (78)
How boring.
Speaker 3 (80)
not boring at all.
Speaker 3 (81)
It was an amazing period of history.
Speaker 3 (82)
It changed everything in Europe.
Speaker 3 (83)
So what's your first lecture about?
Speaker 2 (84)
It's about animal behavior.
Speaker 2 (85)
It sounds really interesting.
Speaker 3 (87)
I was on my way to the library.
Speaker 3 (88)
I'm going to get some of these books out and start reading for the first essay I've got to write.
Speaker 2 (89)
And what have you got to write about?
Speaker 3 (91)
You'll never believe it.
Speaker 3 (92)
I think our professor must have a sense of humor.
Speaker 3 (93)
He's given us the title, why study history?
Speaker 2 (94)
That's a good one.
Speaker 2 (95)
When you find the answer, let me know.
Speaker 3 (97)
I'm gonna enjoy writing it.
Speaker 3 (98)
Have you been given any writing assignments yet?
Speaker 2 (100)
I've got to write about animal language.
Speaker 3 (101)
That sounds a challenge.
Speaker 3 (102)
I suppose you'll be off to the zoo to do field research.
Speaker 1 (103)
That is the end of section three.
Speaker 1 (104)
You will now have half a minute to check your answers.
Speaker 1 (105)
Now turn to section four.
