W: There’s a folk music concert tomorrow evening. Do you want to go?
M: Oh, thanks. But I don’t like folk music very much.
W: What kind of music do you like then?
M: Classical music. What about you?

W: We don’t seem to have a reservation for you, Sir. I’m sorry.
M: But my secretary said that she had reserved a room for me here. I phoned her from the airport this morning just before I got on board the plane.

M: What’s the purpose of your visit?
W: I’m here to attend a conference on teaching for the first part of my trip, and then I plan on touring the capital for a few days.

W: Why didn’t you make an appointment to see the doctor last week when you first twisted your ankle?
M: The injury didn’t seem serious then. I decided to go today, because my foot still hurt when I put my weight on it.
Text 5
W: Here is a ten-dollar bill. Give me two tickets for tonight’s show, please.
M: Sure. Two tickets and here’s two dollars fifty in change.

M: Could I have your advice?
W: What about, David?
M: Well, I’ve put off doing my science requirement for three years. So, …
W: And if you want to graduate this year, you’ve got to take a science course.
M: Right. I suppose since you are doing pre-medical, you know about the different courses.
W: Well, I have to take biology, chemistry, math and physics. What you need is a good introductory course for non-science majors.
M: Yeah, I’m really weak in math. I did poorly in it in high school.
W: Then you’d better avoid chemistry and physics. How about astronomy? Everybody says Dr Hanson is great. I’d take that course myself if I had the time.
M: That’s what I thought I’d take. But it meets at the same time with my modern music course.
W: Geology is pretty interesting, then.
M: That’s a good idea. It even fits in with my hobby of mountain climbing. Thanks a lot!

W: What do we need to keep the body going?
M: We need to eat the right food.
W: What do you mean by “right”?
M: “Right” means quality and quantity. We need to eat healthy food and the right mixture of different kinds of food.
W: How does the right food help the body?
M: When we have the right mixture of different kinds of food, we have energy to learn, work and play.
W: What else do we need?
M: We need to drink plenty of water because more than half of the body is water.
W: What else?
M: We also need enough sleep and exercise.
W: Can you explain that?
M: The body’s systems restore themselves during sleep, and exercise makes the heart and lungs strong. And strong hearts and lungs get energy and oxygen to the muscles quickly.
W: How can we make our hearts and lungs stronger?
M: Some ways to make our hearts and lungs stronger are riding a bike, dancing, walking and swimming.

M: Lindsey, do you watch a lot of TV?
W: Well, Bruce, yes and no.
M: Um, what do you mean? Isn’t it kind of one or the other?
W: Not exactly. I don’t like watching the new shows on TV. They’re so boring. But I do like watching old shows on Netflix.
M: Oh, what’s Netflix?
W: Don’t you know? It’s a service that lets you watch TV shows and movies over the Internet. You just choose what you want to watch when you want to watch it! It’s really cool!
M: Sounds great. But is the quality good? I mean, I’ve watched something online before, and sometimes the sound or the picture is not very clear.
W: That’s one of the great things about Netflix. The quality is first-rate.
M: I suppose this service costs an arm and a leg.
W: Not at all! It’s actually pretty reasonable. Most subscriptions are about 15 dollars a month.
M: Well, then, where do I sign up?

“Where is the university?” is the question many visitors to Cambridge asked, but no one could point them in any one direction because there is no campus. The university consists of thirty-one colleges. It has lecture halls, libraries, laboratories, museums and offices throughout the city. Individual colleges choose their own students who have to meet the minimum entrance requirements set by the university. Undergraduates usually live and study in their colleges where they are taught in very small groups. Lectures and laboratory and practical work are organized by the university and held in university buildings. There are over 10,000 undergraduates and 3,500 post-graduates, about 40% of them are women and some 8% from overseas. As well as teaching, research is of major importance. Since the beginning of the 20th century, more than 60 university members have won Nobel Prizes. University has a huge number of buildings for teaching and research. Examinations are set and degrees are awarded by the university. It allowed women to take the university exams in 1881, but it was not until 1948 that they were awarded degrees.
