【话匣子英语】大学校园生活

Sample transcript¹

 

Harp²: We’re going to start off Chatterbox with talking about university. Yeah, it’s going to be maybe a four-part series. We haven’t decided³ yet but today we’re going to start with discussing living on campus. And Maura is going to be the person telling us about it because she lived it.

 

Maura: Yes, it wasn’t so long ago that Harp and I were in university.

 

Harp: Exactly, it just feels like yesterday.

 

Maura: Feels like yesterday. And I really had a really fun experience.

 

Harp: So can you describe to me what it means to live in dorms or to live in rez?

 

Maura: Yeah, so you live usually on campus, so you live at your university in a special building. And there’s a lot of different living situations. You could have your own room, you could share a room with one other person or two people or three people. There’s all different kinds of arrangements. All different kinds of rooms and usually you share a bathroom too.

 

Harp: Now is this co-ed? Do you share with boys and girls? Or only girls?

 

Maura: It also depends on the university, depends on the residence. At my university, which was in Guelph, Ontario in Canada, they had a couple residences where it was all male or all female, the whole building. Where I lived, it was co-ed but the floors were divided by sex and so the bathrooms were also divided by sex but it wasn’t locked. Do you know what I mean? So you could find a man in your bathroom and if I wanted to go into a men’s bathroom, I could.

 

Harp: I can see that leading to a lot of trouble!

 

Maura: Actually, I see your point but there wasn’t any trouble really. I don’t remember any incidences.
