W: You are so lucky. Do you have to do many things before you leave?
M: Yes, I’ll be very busy.(13)I have to get a visa, buy a plane ticket and pack my things, but first I want to register for classes.
W: When can you do that?
M: Well, I think I can start looking now. Do you want to help me decide which classes to take?
W: Sure. What can you choose from?
M: Well, I have to take all the fundamental courses, plus a few from my major.
W: What is your major?
M:(14)I hope to major in English Literature, but the admissions counselor told me that many people changed their major many times in their first year. So we’ll see.
W: What are the fundamental courses?
M: In order to graduate, every student must take a certain amount of classes in History, Math, English, Philosophy , Science and Art.
W: Interesting. That’s very different from the Chinese education system.
M: Yes, it is. It’s also very different from the British education system.
W: Really?
M: Oh, sure!(15)In Britain, students don’t have to take the foundation courses.
W: Why not?
M: Maybe because they think they know everything already. Haaa...
