TERRY: Have you decided 1 what you are going to take next semester 2?

LISA: Well, I'm an English major, you know.So I came here to make sure I'm taking the right things.

TERRY: Good. I think it's a good idea. Our department should require meetings like this.

LISA: I want to finish my degree in four years.So I don't want to forget to take classes I need.I have a friend who has to stay in college another year. She didn't know until recently.There were some classes she needed to take to graduate.She didn't know about them.

TERRY: Yes, that happens.

LISA: I brought my transcript 3 from my first year.Here. And here is the list of courses I plan to take in the fall.

TERRY: Alright. Good.I see you've already taken six credits 4 of your breadth 5 requirements.You have one botany class and one chemistry class. And political science.So that's nine credits. Did you take English Composition 201?

LISA: No, I don't need to. I took Advanced Placement English in high school.So I'm not required to take composition.

TERRY: Excellent. I see you have the 18th century poetry class for next semester.And the modern novel class. You haven't taken a Shakespeare class yet.

LISA: No, I thought I would take it later.

TERRY: Actually, I recommend you take Shakespeare sooner rather than later.

LISA: Well, I suppose I could cross out the 18th century poetry class.I have to see when the Shakespeare class meets.

TERRY: Let me look at the timetable.

Shakespeare meets Monday, Wednesday and Friday at 11:00 AM.

LISA: I can take it then. I have that time slot 6 free.

TERRY: Good. I recommend it. Shakespeare is of course enormously 7 important.We want our students to take the class as soon as they can.And Professor Friedman is an excellent teacher.

LISA: I'll take it then.

TERRY: Tell me, Lisa, what made you decide to be an English major?

LISA: I want to be an English professor in the future.I love studying literature, and I want to teach it.

TERRY: Really? That's great to know.

LISA: That's the reason I want to finish my B.A. in four years.Because I know I will be in school a long time.I want to start the M.A. and Ph.D. program as soon as possible.

泰瑞：你决定下一个学期要修什么了吗？

丽莎：嗯，我的主修是英文。所以我要确定我修的课是正确的。

泰瑞：很好。我认为这是很好的想法。我们系上应该也要有这样的会谈。

丽莎：我想在四年内完成我的学业。所以我不希望自己忘了需要修的课程。我有个朋友需要再念一年。她一直到现在才知道。有一些课她必需要修才能毕业。

她以前并不知道。

泰瑞：对的，那是会发生的。

丽莎：我带了我第一年的成绩单。这里,这个清单列的是我这个秋季想要修的一些课。

泰瑞：好。可以。我看到你已经修了必修学分中的的六个学分。你有一门植物学、一门化学和政治学。那是九个学分。你有拿英文作文201吗？

丽莎：没有，我不需要。我在高中的时候有修过进阶英文, 所以我不需要修作文课。

泰瑞：很好。我看你下学期有一门十八世纪诗词要修,还有当代文学这门课。你还没有修过莎士比亚那门课。

丽莎：没有，我想晚一点再修。

泰瑞：实际上，我建议你早些修读莎士比亚那门课比较好。

丽莎：嗯，我想我就把十八世纪诗词划掉。我需要看一下莎士比亚那门课什么时候上。

泰瑞：让我看一下时间表。莎士比亚课程在星期一，星期三及星期五早上十一点上课。

丽莎：我可以修了。我那段时间有空。很好。我也赞成这样做。莎士比亚这门课当然是非常的重要。我们希望我们自己的学生尽早地修这门课，而且菲德曼教授是一个很好的老师。

丽莎：我就修这门课了。

泰瑞：告诉我，丽莎，是什么让你决定要成为一个英文专业的学生。

丽莎：我希望在未来成为一名英文教授。我很喜爱学习文学，也想教文学。

泰瑞：真的吗？很荣幸知道。

丽莎：那就是为什么我要在四年内修到大学本科的学历。因为我知道我会在学校待上很长一段时间。我要尽快开始硕士研究生和博士的课程。
