Task 1: Enrolling

新视野大学英语视听说(第一版)第一册文本及答案(1-2)单元

Good morning, everyone. I’d like to welcome you to City University. I’m Betty Russell and I

work in the International Students’ Office. I have some important for you. First, you must enroll

by August 28th. Pick up your ID card at our office. Them, you’ll need to pick up a library card so

that you can borrow books from the library. Show them your ID card in the library and they will

do it for you. You may be thinking about the sports facilities at our school. There’s no charge for

student use, but of course you’ll have to show your ID card. Concerning the medical assistance,

the University has its own health center, and all services are free for enrolled students.

M: Is that what do you think? I mean, do you like living on campus?

W: Yeah, I enjoy living here because there’s so many people around and it’s easy to make friends.

What about you? Have you ever lived in a dorm before?

M: No, this is the first time.

W: I think you’ll find it quite convenient. The library, labs, sports center and other facilities are

right on campus.

M: That’s true. 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 classes…I mean, you would have to get up so early to get to classes on

time. And then going home would be so much time.

M: Yeah, but the food here…it seems it’s the same thing in the cafeteria every day.

Task 3: Learning to speak English

Hello, how are you? 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 don’t 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, what’s 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?
