【L23】
Now listen carefully and answer Questions 21 to 26.
W: Oh hi George, how’s it going?
M: Hi Martina, it’s going well. How about you? How’s university life?
W: Well, it’s great - apart from the studying of course.
M: Yeah - me too! What are you studying? I seem to remember that you were going to do Art. That was your best subject, wasn’t it?
W: No - not really - I just liked the teacher. He was French and had an amazing accent. My favourite subject was History but I couldn’t see what career that would give me.
M: Ah, right. So what did you choose?
W: Well, I found it really difficult to decide. I was really good at Science but I must admit I never really enjoyed studying it. So, in the end I decided to opt for English which was my second favourite subject and I thought it would be more useful to me than studying anything else. So - that’s what I’m doing. Um, how are you finding university?
M: Well, it’s a bit of a challenge I suppose.
W: Are you finding it difficult?
M: Well, some of it. I’m doing Mechanical Engineering which is really interesting but it covers quite a lot of areas like materials science, machine design, physics and of course mechanics - and they’re all fine. But it’s maths that I’m struggling with. It’s a lot harder than it was at school.
W: I can believe it. It all sounds very difficult to me. But then I never was very good at mechanical things. I suppose it must involve some practical work?
M: Well - not at the moment. Currently, it’s nearly all theory, so it’s a bit heavy-going.
W: I guess you need to start with that so that you can get a grasp of the concepts and learn a few facts before you start putting it into practice. It must be a lot different to the course that I’m taking.
M: Yes - but in a few weeks we’ll be having a lot more practical experience. In fact, I’ve got a great assignment this term working on jet engines which means I’ll be going on a few field trips to a nearby airport.
W: Oh - that’s great. It sounds like you’re going to be very busy.
M: Yes, I’m not sure how I’m going to cope with the work. We have a lot of lectures - and that’s fine. The lecturers are very knowledgeable and I learn a lot from them. But we also have a lot of seminars and I find with so many people expressing their views it can get quite frustrating. It would be better if we didn’t have so many of those.
W: Yes - it’s the same for me.
Now listen and answer Questions 27 to 30.
W: Um - how are the students at your place?
M: Well I haven’t really met anyone yet. They all seem a bit quiet.
W: Perhaps they’re working hard - they don’t appear to be very studious here, but they are very friendly. I must say I’ve been doing a lot of sitting around and chatting over the last week or so.
M: Well, that’s good. The only person I’ve spoken to really is my tutor. He’s very approachable and seems to understand how difficult it can be starting university.
W: It’s good to have someone you can talk to. And he may help you meet other students.
M: Actually that doesn’t bother me. I’m bound to get to know some people sooner or later. It’s more a question of finding out what I need to do, where to go and so on. I hope he can help me with that.
W: Oh, I would have thought so. Well, we certainly have a lot of work ahead of us. It seems like a long time,doesn’t it - studying for three years.
M: Yes, it does - but I’m sure it’ll go quickly. You know I’m really dreading the first assessment.
W: Yes - for the course I’m doing we have to hand our first one in at the end of next month.
M: Really - so have you got the topic yet?
W: No - but we’ll get it soon. I’m not sure how much we have to write yet - not too much. I hope!
M: I know what you mean. And it’s hard to study especially where I am now.
W: Oh - where are you living?
M: I’m living in a hall of residence. I thought that would be a good idea as there’d be a lot of people around but I’m finding it a bit noisy. I can see that I’m going to have problems when I really need to get down to some work.
W: So I guess you need to be somewhere on your own then?
M: Yes - well, I do like to have some people around me, so I’d prefer to live with a family somewhere in a house not too far from the university.
W: Well, good luck with that.
M: Yes, thanks - and good luck to you as well. I have to dash now. I’ve another lecture in ten minutes. Bye for now.
W: Bye.
