2014年ESL之旅行交通购物 05 Taking a Campus Tour

Taking a Campus Tour 

Ji Won: Come on, Dad, the campus tour starts over there. The guide is ready to begin the walking tour. 

Guide: Welcome, prospective¹ students and your parents. My name is Jaime and I’ll be conducting your tour today. This tour will last about an hour, and we’ll be making frequent stops so I can point out some of the most important buildings and areas on this campus. 

Ji Won: Dad, are you listening? 

Guide: First, let’s stop on the quad². On your left, you’ll see the administration building. On your right are the student union and bookstore. Let’s continue. 

Ji Won: Dad, stop checking your email. You promised that you’d make these campus visits with me and help me make a decision about which university to attend. 

Guide: We’re passing the sports stadium on your left and the arts complex on your right. Those buildings there are the dorms. The research library is just ahead. 

Ji Won: Dad, where did you go? 

Guide: Let’s stop here a moment so I can point out the science buildings and research labs. Is something the matter? 

Ji Won: I think I’ve lost my Dad. I think we’ll have to take the self-guided tour!
