[00:05.88]2 Talking about university [00:12.54]So what do you do,Jane? Are you working or studying or what? [00:19.10]I'm doing business management at the London Business School,actually. [00:24.66]Oh right.That sounds good.What year are you in? [00:30.30]My third,unfortunately.I've got my finals in the spring. [00:35.74]I'm really worried about them. [00:39.37]Yes,I can imagine.So what're you going to do when you graduate? [00:45.71]Have you decided yet? [00:49.37]Yes,I'm going to take a year off and go travelling a bit [00:55.25]and then I'm going to try to get onto a Master's course somewhere. [01:00.58]Oh yes?What in? [01:03.82]International finance. [01:07.47]Wow.Have you applied anywhere yet? [01:11.84]Not yet,but there's a course in Leeds I'm very interested in. [01:17.90]Leeds? I've heard it's got a very good reputation. [01:23.54]What do you need to do to get in? [01:27.67]Well,obviously,I need to get a good grade and then I have to go for an interview. [01:34.54]Oh right.Well,good luck. [01:39.79]Thanks.I'll need it.Anyway,Lee,what about you?What do you do? [01:46.16]I'm doing a one-year art course at my local college [01:57.52]and I'd like to do art history at university next year. [02:02.85]Oh right.Have you applied anywhere yet? [02:07.50]Yes,I have,actually.I've applied to Goldsmith's College [02:13.15]and they've offered me a place if I pass the course I'm doing at the moment. [02:19.78]Oh wow! That's great.Congratulations! [02:25.21]I've heard it's got a really good reputation as well. [02:30.07]Thanks,yes,they do-especially for arts subjects. [02:36.00]I'm worried about how I'll be able to live in London,though. [02:41.46]I've heard it's very expensive. [02:45.09]Yes,it is,believe me! [02:48.62]I'm going to work through the summer and try to save some money, [02:54.08]but I guess I'll have to find a part-time job next year as well. [03:00.14]Yes,probably. [03:03.30]3 Using grammar:going to [03:53.85]My son,Danny,is in his second year at university studying computing. [04:05.68]He's not enjoying it. He tells me it's boring and too hard. [04:12.13]He says he has to go to too many lectures, [04:16.81]and he doesn't really have enough time to do the essays and projects he has to write. [04:23.47]He wants to drop out and apply to do American studies at a different university, [04:30.03]but I say he shouldn't. [04:34.08]Last night we had a big argument about it while we were having dinner. [04:40.14]'You don't understand.It was different when you went to university!' [04:45.81]he shouted and then he left the house. [04:50.77]Actually,I really do understand [04:55.92]and he is right to say things were different when I went to university. [05:01.98]Twenty-five years ago,being a student in Britain was really easy. [05:08.53]We didn't have to pay anything to study at university. [05:13.70]It was completely free. [05:17.36]In fact,when I went to university the government actually GAVE me money. [05:23.60]And I mean,gave. [05:27.26]I got a grant of over two thousand pounds [05:32.23](which was a lot of money in those days) [05:35.78]and I was free to spend it,and I never had to pay any of it back at all. [05:42.15]Nowadays,lots of students(or their parents!) [05:47.40]have to pay two or three thousand pounds for their course. [05:52.97]They also have to pay for food,somewhere to live,books,bills and everything else. [06:01.30]The government gives you a loan, [06:05.17]which you then have to pay back after you graduate. [06:10.21]Most people have to get a part-time job while they're studying. [06:15.38]I used to work in the summer holidays, [06:20.03]but I didn't have to get a job during term-time, [06:24.71]so I could just concentrate on studying. [06:28.65]I say concentrate on studying, [06:32.41]but actually a lot of the time we just sat around and chatted to each other, [06:38.58]watched French films,read books, [06:43.23]went on demonstrations or went to parties. [06:47.59]I only had to go to ten hours of lectures each week, [06:53.23]so I had lots of time to write my essays and do everything else I wanted to do. [06:59.71]And of course,almost all students lived away from home. [07:05.35]We had a lot of freedom- [07:09.01]we didn't have to worry about coming home late or bringing friends home, [07:15.07]because our parents weren't there.It was fun and easy. [07:21.31]I just chose the course I wanted to do,which was politics and history. [07:28.18]I don't think you can do that now. [07:32.13]I know Danny really wants to do American studies, [07:37.40]and I'm sure it'd be interesting, [07:40.96]but who would give him a job when he finishes his degree? [07:45.71]I went travelling ofr six months after I graduated [07:51.17]because it was easy to find work. [07:54.93]I got a job in banking very quickly, [07:59.97]but he'll have to pay back the money he's borrowed. [08:04.55]So he needs to get a job which pays good money straight after graduating. [08:11.21]That's why I want him do do his computing degree. [08:16.46]It'll be better for him in the end. [08:20.53]2 While you listen [08:31.48]OK.Let's go through the answers to Exercise 2,then. [08:38.03]What did you get for Number 1? Anyone? [08:43.18]Hi.Morning,Miss.Morning everyone. [08:52.61]Morning? It's nearly ten o'clock,Adam. [08:57.78]Yes,like I said...good moring. [09:02.64]And that's it? Aren't you going to apologise or explain why you're late...again? [09:10.58]Oh,that.Yes,OK.Sorry...I'm late because my alarm clock didn't go off,OK? [09:21.14]Right!It's not the first time that's happened,is it! [09:26.88]If I were you,I'd buy myself another one. [09:31.64]And make sure this one works...Anyway,open your book.

[10:35.30]Well,why don't you just share with the person next to you,Adam? OK? [10:42.06]Ahmed...could you just let Adam share your book,please? [10:47.63]Thanks.RIGHT...Number 1-at last! It's B.

[11:32.30]I know.I'm sorry,I really am...but it's really really important. [11:38.78]Is it OK if I just answer it? [11:42.93]I'll only be one minute.It won't happen again,I promise [11:48.49]OK,OK,answer it if you have to, [11:53.46]but could you just go outside while you're talking. [11:58.81]And you've only got one minute!... [12:03.96]Ok,where were we? I've forgotten what we were doing. [12:11.32]Number 2. [12:14.07]Oh,thanks.Yes,Number 2.Anyone?
