Task 2: Living on Campus
(M=man; W=woman)
M: Hi, Lisa. How’s life on campus?
W: Hi, John. Oh, not so bad. Pretty good in fact.
M: Is that what do you think? I mean, do you like living on campus?
W: Yeah, I enjoy living here because there’s so many people around and it’s easy to make friends. What about you? Have you ever lived in a dorm before?
M: No, this is the first time.
W: I think you’ll find it quite convenient. The library, labs, sports center and other facilities are right on campus.
M: That’s true. The atmosphere here is different from the outside. But I guess living in town has its advantage too, like being close to the shopping center. You know, our university is so far from downtown.
W: But the commuting to classes…I mean, you would have to get up so early to get to classes on time. And then going home would be so much time.
M: Yeah, but the food here…it seems it’s the same thing in the cafeteria every day.
W: Well, I think the food here is OK, and if you want a change, you can eat out once in a while.
M: True.
