Open Listening 3Well, I think first of all for first-time students, coming and living on campus in dormitories can provide a certain level of security as well as convenience because its close to campus facilities and commuting without a car can be quite an experience, especially when you have to commute long distances. Also meals are usually provided on campus so students can devote more time to their studies, rather than to housekeeping. But, of course, students should also be aware that theyll have to obey the rules and regulations relating to student conduct. This is part of the contract with the university for living on campus.Another option is living off campus in apartments. Like living in dormitories, living in an apartment requires little or no maintenance mainly because that is usually handled by the owner or someone else. Also, if you live off campus, there might be a great amount of flexibility in choosing roommates that you might not have when living on campus. But you should be aware that tenants may be responsible for furnishing their own apartments.Well, of course, the choice is up to you, but be careful to review both the advantages and disadvantages of living on and off campus. Good luck.Answers 11. which of the following is mentioned as an advantage of living on campus?2. What should students remember about on-campus living?3. Which of the following is mentioned as an advantage off living off campus?4. What should students living off campus be prepared to do?AACB2TFTFFListening 4The following is a conversation between one woman, Grace, and two men, Martin and Curtis.Grace: Martin, what do you remember most about our college days?Martin: What do I remember most?Grace: Curtiss hair; it was down to his waist.Curtis: I remember how Grace looked.

I never saw anybody with more holes in their jeans.Martin: Theyre a classic now. I still have those blue jeans!Grace: You still have them? I dont believe it. Thats incredible!Martin: And I still wear them, too.Curtis: You know, I was just thinking about the most important thing that happened in college.Martin: The most important thing? Do you mean the time we got arrested?Curtis: Mmm.Grace: Yeah. You know, thats my best memory, going on that peace demonstration. You know, somehow getting arrested for something you believe in isnt scary at all.Curtis: No, it isnt at all. But it did help that there were 500 other students getting arrested along with us.Martin: Thats true.Curtis: That was a great day, though.Grace: Hey, you all remember our last day of college?Curtis: Graduation? Whats to remember? None of us went to graduation.Martin: Do you regret now, after all these years, that we skipped the ceremony?Grace: Not me. I dont think we missed anything that day. Curtis: No, noting at all. And that picnic that the three of us had by the stream, remember?Grace: That was great.Curtis: Drinking wine, playing the guitar, singing.

First, they must make themselves attend class. Many college instructors do not take roll, and many others dont penalize students for not going to class. A student who would rather sit in the bar than go to class has the option to do so. A student must be mature enough to realize that he needs to go to class. Second, college student have to motivate themselves to do their assignments. Many students are away from home, so the old enforcers, their parents, arent there to ask if their reading is finished. No college teacher hounds a student for his homework. He simply puts down a zero and says nothing. Its up to the student to get the work done. Finally, college student are responsible for taking the required exams. A student who misses a test cant expect a professor even to mention it. It is totally his responsibility to arrange to make up the exam. Only students mature enough to accept these responsibilities are ready for college.Answers 1. what is the passage mainly about?2. Which of the following is relevant to the maturity of college students?3. How would the professor respond if the student didnt do his assignment?4. Who ids the expected audience for this passage?CBAD Listening 3Man: So you were studying for how longlet me seefor four years altogether? Can you tell me a little about that course?Woman: Well, it was a very difficult, very tough course. I did English for the entire four years, so by the end, I was quite good. As for the Business Correspondence part, which I did in the second year and third year, it was really mostly English too. I also did one year of French, in the fourth year, learning to meet people, or answer the telephone. Then there were three years of Secretarial Practice, starting in the second year; and three years of Shorthand, though I never got very good at it. And, well, I suppose the other subjects just fitted around that: Accounting in year three and four, Economics in the first and second and Bookkeeping in the third no, no, in the second year, before we started Accounting.Answers Year 1 2 3 4English Business Corr French Secret
