(482 words),Theme-related Activities Part 2,Following is the script of the VOA news report: VOA Education Report This week, we begin a series of reports for students around the world who are interested in higher education in the United States. The last time we broadcast our Foreign Student Series was two years ago. Since then we have gotten more requests for information about how to attend an American college or university. So we will present new reports in our series with the most current information. Each week, we will discuss a part of the process for becoming an international student in the United States. Students have many questions: How do I find out about schools? How do I choose the right one for me? Which tests must I take? What kinds of documents will I need? And a big question how much will it all cost? Listen for answers to these and other questions over the coming weeks.,Theme-related Activities Part 2,Our reports will describe the American system of higher education. We will talk about financial aid and rules about employment. We will also discuss English language requirements.

Our reports will also take you inside some of the colleges and universities in the United States. We will explore programs of study and report on student life. Students who are not able to come to the United States will find out how to take classes over the Internet. In addition, we will examine how the threat of terrorism has changed some of the rules for study in the United States. In researching our series, we talked to people in education and government and to foreign students. Planning is important to the success of an educational experience. And that is the purpose of our series to help you plan. (302 words),Theme-related Activities Part 2,Following is the script of the lecture: What goals should I set for myself early in college? I think, its very important for college students to set goals early in their college experience. That includes not only, “What are my plans for academic success?” but it also includes “What sort of electives do I want to take?” “What courses do I want to take for my minor?” And then theres the whole around of “What sort of social goals do I have?” “How do I want to live my life as a college student?” College offers a great opportunity to reinvent yourself from high school. Your goals can be very important in achieving the kind of life and person that you want to become. The people that you meet in college are really going to be your friends, potentially, for the rest of your life and employment contacts as well as social contacts, and possibly even a future marriage partner. Which means that going into the college, experience with “How many clubs or organizations do I want to join?” “When am I going to study and how?” “Will I get a job?” “How often will I go home or call my parents?” “What sort of things am I going to do to become a successful, well-rounded student?” (215 words),Theme-related Activities Part 3,Directions: In this section, you will hear a long conversation.
