17、ife is a new and different experience for me. First of all, living at the university gives me a sense of responsibility, of being on my own.

Effective listening results in doing the right assignment, doing the assignment correctly, and taking notes effectively. Doing these activities well results in learning and

22、, most of the time, good grades. In a professional setting, listening is also critical. When you receive an oral message, your response must be correct.

When I have trouble studying, or Im worried about an exam, I just take a look at it. It is a picture of my best friends taken years ago w

48、hen we were in high school. It reminds me of the good time weve shared and the support their friendship still gives me today. Even though our lives have gone in different directions, the bond we created has kept us close. Every week I get a message on my answering machine from one of them, or a lett

49、er in the mail with the latest news or vacation photos. I often get e-mail with a joke for the day, or words of comfort about some problems in my life.

It is the kind of friendship that outlasts disagreements, changes, and separation.1-5 CADDBTask 2: Problem of Meeting PeopleAs a foreign student, I have a number of problems, b

51、oth academically and socially. The biggest one is meeting people. I feel confident about my ability to cope with problems from my studies, but Im not comfortable making friends with other students, especially local ones. Perhaps Im worrying unnecessarily, but I find it difficult to talk to them and

52、to make friends. The primary reason is the language barrier. My English is quite standard and forma, and although that helps me with my academic work, I have trouble understanding other students when they are just talking. It seems to me that in order to meet with other students I really need inform

53、al, colloquial English. Besides, theres the cultural gap. Thats why its so difficult for overseas students and native English speaking students to really get to know each other. I really want to overcome this difficulty. I guess the best way to begin is to start talking about course work that we sha

54、re; and then I could suggest going for a cup of tea or coffee. Over coffee we could get to know each other. Another way would be to join a club, like a tennis club or a photo club, because that immediately gives you something in common with other people there. It gives you a starting point to build

56、 a neighbor. Within a few days the whole community knew the story. The person concerned was deeply hurt and offended. Later the woman learned that it was completely untrue. She was very sorry and went to a wise old man to find out what she could do to repair the damage. “Go to the marketplace,” he s

57、aid, “buy a chicken, and have it killed. Then on your way home, pluck its feathers and drop them one by one along the road.” Although surprised by this advice, the woman did what she was told. The next day the wise man said, “Now go and collect all those feathers you dropped yesterday and bring them

58、 back to me.” The woman followed the same road, but to her dismay, the wind had blown the feathers all away. After searching for hours, she returned with only three in her hand. “you see,” said the old man, “its easy to drop them, but its impossible to get them back. So it is with gossip. It doesnt take much to spread a rumor, but once you do, you can never completely undo the wrong.”1. The neighbor was deeply offended and hurt.2. It was completely untrue.3. To find out what she could do to
