The atmosphere here is different from the outside. But I guess living in town has its advantage too, like being close to the shopping center. You know, our university is so far from downtown.W: But the commuting to classesI mean, you would have to get up so early to get to classes on time.

When most people learn English as a second language, they learn formal English. Unfortunately, learning it like this tends to make you feel distant and bored. The truth is, most people in English-speaking countries dont speak to each other in such a formal way. They speak in a casual way to their friends and families. When speaking casually, people tend to use a lot of informal or colloquial words, and also shorten and connect their phrases. They say things like “Hey, whats up?” or “Hey! Whatcha been dion?” These expressions are both common and natural, and make you seem like a native speaker. Using them may make people more interested in talking to you. This type of English is more like what you will hear in movies and TV shows. Speaking this way makes native speakers feel more relaxed and you will sound like a friendly person who speaks English well. You got that, buddy?formal formally casual common native relaxed friendlyTask 4: An Announcementattention closing five checkouts leaveIV.

Hey, whats your major?Michael: Travel and tourism.Jane: Well, what do you plan to do after you graduate?Michael: Uh I really havent decided. I think Id like to work for a travel agency in this area. What about you?Jane: Well, when I first started college. I majored in physics, but later I realized I might have a hard time finding a job in that field. I ended up changing to computer science. Finding a job in the IT industry shouldnt be as difficult.Michael: Have you got a part=time job to support yourself through school?Jane: Well, Im on a four-year scholarship that pays my tuition.Michael: Wow, lucky you!Jane: Yeah.

First of all, living at the university gives me a sense of responsibility, of being on my own. My parents arent around to say, “No, youre not going out tonight.” I decide everything for myself. Being around lots of friendly people is another aspect I like about university life. On my first say, when I arrived on campus, I was a bit confused about where I was going. An upperclassman noticed out I was looking for my dorm, he said, “Oh, just follow me; thats where Im going.” Now, I can really say that I feel comfortable in the dorm because there are so many friendly people around to talk with. Finally, I LOVE HAVING Fridays off; I would not be able to deal with five days of classes in a row. How did I do it in high school? I love sleeping in on Fridays. I guess Im sort of a party animal, but it seems like I go out every Thursday night. It also seems like I dont get home until early the next day1 My head hits the pillow and I dont move until Friday afternoon.1. new and different2. on his own3. a bit confused4. talk with5. sleep inTask 2: Key to Learning EnglishI think one of the most important keys to learning English id to establish a regular study program, like planning a few minutes every morning around breakfast time. This idea may sound a little too simple to the learners, because they took English in high school for a quite a few years, but they didnt become proficient speakers of the language. As a matter of fact I do not mean that we can become fluent speakers with just a few minutes here and there, but following a regular and consistent course of study can help us on the way to language mastery. In other words, people need to plan out their study by setting realistic and attainable goals from the beginning. Some people get caught up in the craze of learning the language on 30 days, only to give up when they cant perform up to
