Intermediate Listening Lesson 05

又一波选课教程来袭！

A: "Hey John, did you register for classes yet?"

B: "I register this Friday."

A: "What classes do you plan on taking?"

B: "I really want to take the communication class, but I don't know if it will be available."

A: "Is that class really that popular?"

B: "Yeah. I tried to get in last semester, but it was full by the time I registered."

A: "What other classes are you going to take?"

B: "I still need to take English 201, but I really don't like writing."

A: "I took that class already. There is a lot of writing, but it's not that bad."

B: "Oh really? Who was the instructor¹? There are like 4 different instructors² to choose from."

A: "I had Professor Mahoney."

B: "Is he an easy grader?"

A: "I'm not sure if he is or not, but I thought he was definitely fair."

B: "Do you mind if I ask you what you got?"

A: "Not at all. I got a 3.8."

B: "Well, what did you get in English 101 last year?"

A: "I got a 4.0 in that class."

B: "Well, I can't compare to you. I got a 3.1 in English 101. That means if you got a lower grade in English 201, it must be harder."

A: "It's not what it appears. I actually tried harder in the 101 class. If I put as much effort into the 201 class, I would have received the same grade."

B: "Oh. That helps. Thanks."
