[00:05.88]2 Talking about university
[00:12.54]So what do you do,Jane? Are you working or studying or what?
[00:19.10]I'm doing business management at the London Business School,actually.
[00:24.66]Oh right.That sounds good.What year are you in?
[00:30.30]My third,unfortunately.I've got my finals in the spring.
[00:35.74]I'm really worried about them.
[00:39.37]Yes,I can imagine.So what're you going to do when you graduate?
[00:45.71]Have you decided1 yet?
[00:49.37]Yes,I'm going to take a year off and go travelling a bit
[00:55.25]and then I'm going to try to get onto a Master's course somewhere.
[01:00.58]Oh yes?What in?
[01:03.82]International finance2.
[01:07.47]Wow.Have you applied3 anywhere yet?
[01:11.84]Not yet,but there's a course in Leeds I'm very interested in.
[01:17.90]Leeds? I've heard it's got a very good reputation4.
[01:23.54]What do you need to do to get in?
[01:27.67]Well,obviously,I need to get a good grade and then I have to go for an interview.
[01:34.54]Oh right.Well,good luck.
[01:39.79]Thanks.I'll need it.Anyway,Lee,what about you?What do you do?
[01:46.16]I'm doing a one-year art course at my local college
[01:57.52]and I'd like to do art history at university next year.
[02:02.85]Oh right.Have you applied anywhere yet?
[02:07.50]Yes,I have,actually.I've applied to Goldsmith's College
[02:13.15]and they've offered me a place if I pass the course I'm doing at the moment.
[02:19.78]Oh wow! That's great.Congratulations5!
[02:25.21]I've heard it's got a really good reputation as well.
[02:30.07]Thanks,yes,they do-especially for arts subjects.
[02:36.00]I'm worried about how I'll be able to live in London,though.
[02:41.46]I've heard it's very expensive.
[02:45.09]Yes,it is,believe me!
[02:48.62]I'm going to work through the summer and try to save some money,
[02:54.08]but I guess I'll have to find a part-time job next year as well.
[03:00.14]Yes,probably.
[03:03.30]3  Using grammar:going to
[03:53.85]My son,Danny,is in his second year at university studying computing6.
[04:05.68]He's not enjoying it. He tells me it's boring and too hard.
[04:12.13]He says he has to go to too many lectures,
[04:16.81]and he doesn't really have enough time to do the essays and projects he has to write.
[04:23.47]He wants to drop out and apply to do American studies at a different university,
[04:30.03]but I say he shouldn't.
[04:34.08]Last night we had a big argument about it while we were having dinner.
[04:40.14]'You don't understand.It was different when you went to university!'
[04:45.81]he shouted and then he left the house.
[04:50.77]Actually,I really do understand
[04:55.92]and he is right to say things were different when I went to university.
[05:01.98]Twenty-five years ago,being a student in Britain was really easy.
[05:08.53]We didn't have to pay anything to study at university.
[05:13.70]It was completely7 free.
[05:17.36]In fact,when I went to university the government actually GAVE me money.
[05:23.60]And I mean,gave.
[05:27.26]I got a grant8 of over two thousand pounds
[05:32.23](which was a lot of money in those days)
[05:35.78]and I was free to spend it,and I never had to pay any of it back at all.
[05:42.15]Nowadays,lots of students(or their parents!)
[05:47.40]have to pay two or three thousand pounds for their course.
[05:52.97]They also have to pay for food,somewhere to live,books,bills and everything else.
[06:01.30]The government gives you a loan,
[06:05.17]which you then have to pay back after you graduate.
[06:10.21]Most people have to get a part-time job while they're studying.
[06:15.38]I used to work in the summer holidays,
[06:20.03]but I didn't have to get a job during term-time,
[06:24.71]so I could just concentrate9 on studying.
[06:28.65]I say concentrate on studying,
[06:32.41]but actually a lot of the time we just sat around and chatted to each other,
[06:38.58]watched French films,read books,
[06:43.23]went on demonstrations10 or went to parties.
[06:47.59]I only had to go to ten hours of lectures each week,
[06:53.23]so I had lots of time to write my essays and do everything else I wanted to do.
[06:59.71]And of course,almost all students lived away from home.
[07:05.35]We had a lot of freedom-
[07:09.01]we didn't have to worry about coming home late or bringing friends home,
[07:15.07]because our parents weren't there.It was fun and easy.
[07:21.31]I just chose the course I wanted to do,which was politics11 and history.
[07:28.18]I don't think you can do that now.
[07:32.13]I know Danny really wants to do American studies,
[07:37.40]and I'm sure it'd be interesting,
[07:40.96]but who would give him a job when he finishes his degree?
[07:45.71]I went travelling ofr six months after I graduated
[07:51.17]because it was easy to find work.
[07:54.93]I got a job in banking12 very quickly,
[07:59.97]but he'll have to pay back the money he's borrowed.
[08:04.55]So he needs to get a job which pays good money straight after graduating.
[08:11.21]That's why I want him do do his computing degree.
[08:16.46]It'll be better for him in the end.
[08:20.53]2 While you listen
[08:31.48]OK.Let's go through the answers to Exercise 2,then.
[08:38.03]What did you get for Number 1? Anyone?

[10:35.30]Well,why don't you just share with the person next to you,Adam? OK?
[10:42.06]Ahmed...could you just let Adam share your book,please?

[11:48.49]OK,OK,answer it if you have to,
[11:53.46]but could you just go outside while you're talking.
[11:58.81]And you've only got one minute!...
