Unit 14. Page 241. Exercise 7. Listening.

00:00:10,470 --> 00:00:15,330
Hi, Mom. Hi, Dad. I just thought I'd call and tell you about my week.

3
00:00:16,150 --> 00:00:18,650
Hi, Al. How are things going now?

4
00:00:19,370 --> 00:00:21,930
Pretty well. I like the dormitory.

5
00:00:22,530 --> 00:00:26,910
The supervisor, who lives right down the hall from me, is really helpful.

6
00:00:27,430 --> 00:00:29,690
And he doesn't inspect our rooms.

7
00:00:30,370 --> 00:00:32,230
How about your roommates, Al?

8
00:00:32,230 --> 00:00:35,210
I really like the one who's from Minnesota.

9
00:00:35,950 --> 00:00:39,550
He's very social, and he's great to hang around with.

10
00:00:40,150 --> 00:00:42,310
I'm not so sure about the other one.

11
00:00:43,030 --> 00:00:44,470
What's the problem with him?

12
00:00:45,170 --> 00:00:47,790
He's kind of competitive and aggressive.

13
00:00:48,570 --> 00:00:51,350
Hmm. I'm sorry to hear that.

14
00:00:52,190 --> 00:00:53,870
One thing I'm curious about.

15
00:00:54,590 --> 00:00:59,330
Is this an all-male dorm, or are there girls living there, too?

16
00:00:59,790 --> 00:01:02,210
Well, there are two parts to this.

17
00:01:02,230 --> 00:01:06,710
The girls live on one side, and the guys on the other.

18
00:01:07,330 --> 00:01:09,070
And there are three cafeterias.

19
00:01:09,650 --> 00:01:13,990
The girls who live on the second floor eat with us at the cafeteria on our floor.

20
00:01:14,910 --> 00:01:17,750
What about your courses? Are they hard?

21
00:01:18,430 --> 00:01:24,410
Well, my English course, which is really tough, is going to require a lot of writing.

22
00:01:25,090 --> 00:01:27,270
So is the history class that's in the morning.

23
00:01:27,610 --> 00:01:32,010
The history class that I have in the afternoon looks like it's going to be pretty easy.

24
00:01:32,230 --> 00:01:35,290
And my math class is going to be a piece of cake.

25
00:01:38,190 --> 00:01:42,490
Advisors. My advisors helped me a lot when I was in college.

26
00:01:43,010 --> 00:01:44,270
Yeah, same here.

27
00:01:44,790 --> 00:01:48,410
My advisor, who is from Minneapolis, is wonderful.

28
00:01:49,010 --> 00:01:51,790
She's told me just what subjects I have to take.

29
00:01:52,490 --> 00:01:55,730
Okay. Now, I have another question.

30
00:01:59,720 --> 00:02:04,020
