A. May I Ask You Some Questions?

A Chinese student, Li Hong, will soon graduate from college. She intends to further her study at Lancaster University in Britain. Now she is making a long-distance call to the university.

Li Hong: Yes. I'd like some information about the Chemistry Department in your university.
Receptionist: Hold the line, please. I'll put you through to the secretary of the department.
Secretary: Good morning. Norman Green speaking.
Li Hong: Good morning, Mr. Green. My name is Li Hong. I want to further my study in your department. May I ask you some questions? Hello, Hello. Are you there?
Secretary: Sure. Go ahead, please.

B. Thank You for the Help

Li Hong asks the secretary some questions about the tuition 2 fees. The secretary tries to give her as much help as he can.
Li Hong: Will it be very expensive to study in your department?
Secretary: No, not too expensive. Students' parents do not need to be rich. We also have scholarships to help the students.
Li Hong: Oh, good. My parents will be very happy to hear that. But how can I get a scholarship? Do I have to pass some examinations 3 with good marks?
Secretary: Yes, you will have to do well. But we'll also look at your personal qualities. You will need to be hard-working, honest and friendly, for example. And you will also need to be able to get along well with students from different cultures.
Li Hong: I see. Thank you very much for the help.
Secretary: You are welcome. I hope you will send in an application soon.
Li Hong: I will. I look forward to seeing you in England. Good-bye.
Secretary: So do I. Bye.

Passage An Au Pair Girl

Marie comes from Austria. She is twenty-two years old and she has just graduated from university in her country. She is going to study for her master's degree in London. Marie's parents are not very rich, so Marie will work as an au pair girl to support herself. She will stay with an English family, the Clarks, during this period. The Clarks have two baby girls. They need Marie's help. Marie will help Mrs. Clark in the house in her spare time by doing the washing-up, making the bed, laying the table, dusting rooms and taking telephone messages. She will attend her classes regularly in the weekdays: from 9 to 11 in the morning and from 2 to 5 in the afternoon. She will also be free in the evenings to take part in some activities on campus 4. Marie will receive some pocket money each week. Mr. and Mrs. Clark will also be happy to help her with her English. All this makes Marie pleased. She will get along well with the English family.
