is to work in a Chinese import and export pany and travel around the world. Part 2 Before I went to college, I thought that university life would be fun and easy. My friends told me that we would have lots of fun once we passed the college entrance exam. If anyone ever says Student B: that to me again, I will let them know how wrong they are! Sure, it’s fun to be a university student, but it is also hard work. We have a lot of homework, and we have to write many papers and essays. I’m an English major, so most of my courses about English. The first two years, the courses were similar to studying in middle school. We learnt more grammar and vocabulary, but we also had spoken English classes. In my junior year, that is the third year, I began studying other courses. I chose Linguistics because I’m interested in languages, and I also took a few nonmajor courses. I like English best, but I know that I also need to learn more about other subjects. Studying a language in college is different from studying other subjects. It’s difficult to improve , so you have to spend a lot of time listening, reading, writing and speaking. You almost have to “l(fā)ive in English ”, that is, you have to use English all the time, not just in class. Our university offers a lot of help: there are many books, DVDs and tapes that we can borrow, and there are different activities that help us practise our English, such as debate petitions, the university radio station, and conferences and meetings. I decided to bee a teaching assistant for one of my foreign teachers. As a teaching assistant I meet with a small group of freshman students every week. The meeting is their homework for their speaking class, and my job is to lead the discussion and help the students with their English. It is a wonderful way to practise my English. You learn a lot when you have to help others, and I enjoy making friends with students from other majors. Homework 1. Prepare Warming up and Speaking. 2. Prepare some information about English learning.
