Step 3: Show Conversation Dialog
A: "Hi Mark."
B: "Oh, hi Stacy."
A: "How was your summer vacation?"
B: "I worked over the summer at a restaurant. Have to make tuition money
right? What did you do?"
A: "I took summer school. I withdrew from two of my classes last year so I
wanted to make them up."
B: "So are you officially a junior now?"
A: "Yeah. And I have 5 credits to spare. I only needed to take 10 credits
over the summer, but I took 15 because the price was the same."
B: "That makes sense. So where is Nicole?"
A: "She dropped out of school completely."
B: "Really? Why?"
A: "She worked at a startup company as an intern and since the business
did well, they asked her if she wanted to work full time."
B: "Wow. She's so lucky. She doesn't have a degree and she already has a
job."
A: "It sounds good now, but I'm traditional. I want the degree, so I
wouldn't have accepted the offer."
B: "Do you know how much they are paying her?"
A: "I don't know. But I bet it must have been a good offer, or she
wouldn't have accepted it."
You should read the Conversation Dialog to help you study after going through
the listening lesson. Do not view the Conversation Dialog prior to listening to
the audio, or prior to answering all the questions. |
