M: Ruth, /do you know /something/ about the/ Ethical Consumer/ Research/ Association/?
W: Yes,/ so far/ as I know,/ it's /an organization/ that/ provides/ information/ for shoppers./
M: Oh, /what kind/ of information/? W: [1]Well, /like /letting shoppers /know /what/ the companies/ are doing/ behind /the products /that they see/ on /the store shelves./ And.../ and /these shoppers/ are concerned /with some /ethical /issues./ M: For example/?
W: [1]Well,/ they/ may want/ to know/ that/ the product /they're buying/ hasn't /been made /at the expense/ of the people /who /are producing it,/ whether/ it's /in this country/ or abroad./ They might /also/ be concerned/ with/ other kinds /of issues:/ for example,/ whether /the company /is involved /in selling
arms/.
M: But /how/ can one/ become /an ethical/ shopper/ when/ buying things/? W: One way /of thinking/ about /ethical shopping /is/ thinking /about buying /less./
M: Oh, how/?
W: Well, /you see,/ sometimes /we buy /a lot more /than/ we need. /We buy /more items /of clothing /than we need/.
[2]/[3]So /being /an ethical shopper /really means/ thinking /a bit/ before you go /and spend/ your money /in the shops/.
M: Could you /give me/ some advice/? W: You see,/ some things/ may cost/ a bit more/ in the short-run,/ but/ be worth it /in the long-run/. So, if/ you are paying/ for quality,/ something/will last /you/ longer/ and then /save you /money./
M：Mmm/...
W: And/ sometimes/ you /can buy/
things/ second-hand, /and /the quality/ in most /second-hand /shops /is really/ very good /these days./[2]/[3]So/ it's/ about thinking/ before/ you shop./
M: Ruth,/ thanks /for your advice./
W: Pleasure./

languages/ with /management studies/ would be /very useful,/ but /I find /the management course/ very difficult /sometimes/. And then /to study/ English/ and German/ too/, it means /I /am working /all the time/ and /I never/ have time /to relax./
M: What about/ your accommodation/? Are you/ happy /with that/?
W: Not really./ I mean /the other/ students/ on my course/ are living/ in/ the student dormitory/. So /they see/ each other/ all the time./ I/ am living/ in /the rented room/ in a/ family house./ I/ eat breakfast/ and dinner/ with the family./ [6] But/ I /get lonely/ in the evenings/ and /at weekends./
M: So, /making friends/ is/ a problem/ too./
W: Yes./
M: OK./I/ am going/ to make/ two suggestions./
W: All right./
M: First, /which /of the two /languages /do you enjoy/ most/?
W: English/ I/find it /easier /too./
M: So/ I'd/ like you/ to go /and see /your German tutor /and say/ that /you /are going/ to stop/ attending /German classes/ for the moment./
W: OK./
M: Next,/ [7]I think /you should go/ to each/ of the five /student dormitories/, choose/ the one /you like best/ and ask /if you /could move/ in there./Students/ are always /moving in /and out /so /that /shouldn't/ be a problem./
W: Thanks /a lot /for your advice./
M: Not at all./

W: What kind?/
M: For example/, we /could write/ to each other/ like we/ used to /before/ we had/ the internet./ It would be /lovely /to get /more /hand-written /letters/ from friends/ and family /rather than /just e-mails, /I think./
W: That's /what/ we call/ 'snail-mail'./ But /of course,/ lots /of more/ paper /would mean/ that /we'd need /bigger/ file cabinets/.

Universities have something called Freshmen's Week for their newcomers. It's a great opportunity to make new friends, join lots of clubs and settle into university life. However, having just left the comfort of home and all your friends behind, the prospect of meeting strangers in classrooms and dormitories can be worrying.Where do you start? And who should you make friends with? Which clubs and society should you join? Luckily, there will be thousands of others in the same boat as you. They worry about starting their university social life on the right foot. So just take it all in slowly.
