新编英语听力教程2听力原文From the perspective of English language learners, the listening material in the 新编英语听力教程2 may present a significant obstacle in their language acquisition journey. The fast-paced nature of the speech and the presence of unfamiliar accents can make it difficult for learners to understand and interpret the content accurately. This can lead to feelings of discouragement and a lack of motivation to continue practicing listening skills.Additionally, the use of complex vocabulary and grammatical structures in the listening material may pose a challenge for learners who are still in the process of building their language proficiency. This can result in a lack of confidence in their listening abilities and may deter them from engaging with the material effectively.From an instructional perspective, the difficulty level of the listening material in the 新编英语听力教程2 may not align with the proficiency level of the students. It isessential for educators to provide listening materials that are appropriate for the students' current skill level to ensure comprehension and engagement. If the listening material is too advanced, it can lead to frustration and a lack of progress in the students' language learning journey.Furthermore, it is crucial for educators to considerthe diverse linguistic backgrounds of their students when selecting listening materials. The presence of unfamiliar accents in the listening material may pose a challenge for students who are not accustomed to hearing a variety of English accents. This can create a barrier to comprehension and may hinder the students' ability to develop listening skills effectively.In conclusion, the problem of the 新编英语听力教程2听力原文 lies in the potential barriers it presents for English language learners in terms of comprehension, confidence, and motivation. It is essential for educatorsto carefully consider the difficulty level and linguistic diversity of the listening material to ensure that it supports the students' language learning journeyeffectively. By addressing these challenges, educators can create a more inclusive and supportive learning environment for English language learners.。

What is more, diversity is the hallmark of American education.Education is largely a public function in America, but religious and privateinstitutions do sponsor schools. These private schools, particularly in the primary and secondary field, are now enjoying a resurgence（再现）.Most children in America begin school in a kindergarten class at age 5. This follows with eight years of primary education, then four years of high school. Education is compulsory until about age 16. The existence of large minorities, many with a primary language other than English, complicates the educational process. Many Americans do not believe that their school standards are high enough. The high rate of functional illiteracy（文盲）gives credence to（相信）this charge.Higher education in America is widespread with about 1,800 post-secondary institutions. These include two-year community colleges, four-year undergraduate colleges and universities, and many schools which have extensive graduate programs. Some schools are privately funded, but most receive the bulk of their funding from public sources. There is a great range of quality between higher educational institutions and, some universities have outstanding academic records. These quality differences may be overemphasized for many non-prestige schools have excellent programs. In the long run, the individual determines the education he gets.Questions 26 to 29 are based on the passage you have just heard.26. Why is generalizing about American education so difficult?27. Where do most American schools obtain their funding?28. Why do minorities create an educational problem in America?29. What is the safe generalization about quality in American higher education?Passage TwoLast week, you recall, we discussed the early development of railroads in the United States. Today I want to mention an even earlier form of transportation, one that brought the first European settlers to America. And that’s the wooden-sailing ship. From colonial times sailing ships were vital to the economy. Many coastal towns depended on fishing or whaling for employment and income. This was especially true in the northeastern states. And there the wood from nearby forests and the skills of local designers and workers alsoformed the basis of an important ship-building industry. But the big profits were to be made on trade with far-away places. And since sea captains often became part owners of their ships, they had a strong interest in the commercial success of their voyages. So these Yankees, that’s what U.S. sailors and officers came to be called, they carried on a very profitable trade with other parts of the world. The high point of this trade came in the mid-19th century with the introduction of the clipper ship, the enormous Yankee clippers with huge sails reaching nearly two hundred feet into sky. He’d carry passengers and cargo from New York around South America to San Francisco in less than three months and clear to China in just half a year. At that time this seemed unbelievably fast and efficient. But in the 1860s, more reliable steam-powered ship began to take over. And soon the important role of sailing ships in the U.S. economy would come to an end.Questions 30 to 32 are based on the passage you have just heard.30. What aspect of United States history does the professor mainly discuss?31. According to the professor, what may be one reason for the success of themerchant ships of the United States?32. What does the professor say about clipper ships?Passage ThreeToday, air travel is far safer than driving a car on a busy motorway. But there is a danger that grows every year. From the moment an airplane takes off to the moment it lands, every movement is watched on radar screens. Air traffic controllers tell the pilot exactly when to turn, when to climb and when to come down. The air traffic controllers around a busy airport may handle 1,000 planes a day. Any plane that flies near the airport comes under the orders of the controllers there. Even a small mistake on their part could cause a disaster. Recently, such a disaster almost happened. Two large jets were flying towards the airport. One was carrying 69 passengers and had come from Toronto. The other was carrying 167 passengers from Chicago. An air traffic controller noticed on his radar screen that the two planes were too close to each other. He ordered one to turn to the right and to climb, but he made a mistake. He ordered the wrong plane to do this. So, instead of turning away from the second plane, the first plane turned towards it. Fifteenseconds later, it flew directly in front of the second plane. They avoided each other by the smallest part of a second.The distance between them was less than that of a large swimming pool. This is an example of the danger that grows every year.Questions 33 to 35 are based on the passage you have just heard.33. Which factor can most seriously endanger airplanes according to this passage?34. What happened to the large jets?35. Why were the two large jets specially mentioned?Section C36. channels37. criticizing38. critics39. entertain40. lack41. commercial42. own43. advertise44. The programs which attract advertisers are, of course, these programs which havelarge audiences【Main points】The programs attracting advertisers are these programs which havea lot of audiences45. And the programs which attract audiences are usually programs with lots ofentertainment and action【Main points】And the programs which attract audiences have many forms o f entertainment and action46. The commercial system, therefore, has a great influence on the kind of programsthat television stations decide to show【Main points】So the commercial system greatly influences the kind of programsthat TV stations decide to show。

Did the estate agent give you, you know, all the details?W: Oh yes. Yes I have, and I was rather interested; that was why I came round this afternoon. You seem to have decorated quite recently…H: Yes, oh, yes, it was decorated last year. Now this is the … this is the kitchen.W: Yes…er… What kitchen equipment are you leaving behind or are you going to take it all?H: Well, you know it rather depends on what I end up buying. I’ve got something in mind at the moment but as you know these things can take ages (Yes.) but the place I’m going to has no gas so I’ll probably be leaving this stove, this oven here.W: Is it…is it quite new? Have you had it long?H: Oh, no, not long. It’s about five or six years old. (I see.) I’ve found it very reliable but I shall be taking that fridge but you can see everything else. It’s a fully fitted kitchen.W: Yes, what about the dishwasher…um…is that a dishwasher under the sink?H: No, no, that’s a washing machine, I shall be taking that, yes, I will but there is plumbing for a washing machine. (Right.)W: Is the gas cooker the only gas appliance you’ve got?H: No, no, there is a gas fire but I don’t use it very much; it’s in the main room, the lounge.W: Oh. Right. That seems fine.H: Well, then across here if you’d like to come in with me, this is the sitting room. (Oh. Yes.) Well you can see for yourself it is really.W: Oh I like the windows, right down to the floor, that’s really nice…H: Yes, yes, they are nice. It’s got a very pleasant view and there’s a balcony you can sit out on in the summer. (Yes, it’s a nice view.) Yes, it is nice. Now then across here this is the smallest bedroom; (Yes.) there are three rooms, this is the smallest and it’s no more really than a box room but of course you can get a bed in.W: You could make it into a study. It would be more useful I think.H: Yes, well I think somebody else has got this room as a study. Then this…this is the second bedroom. (Yes.) As you can see it’s got a fitted cupboard and those shelves there they are also fitted.W: Have you got an airing cupboard anywhere?H: Oh. Yes, there’s one in the bathroom. I’ll show you that in a moment. (Oh right.) Now this is the third bedroom, this is the largest bedroom. (Oh.) Of course it’s got the wash basin, double fitted cupboard, plenty of space really, there, (Very nice.) and of course this room does take the double bed. Now…um…this is the bathroom. There’s the airing cupboard. (Is that the airing cupboard?) Yes, that’s right. It’s nice and warm in there; it’s rather small but I mean it is adequate, you know, and of course there is…there is the shower.W: Is that, did you put that in yourself or was it in with the flat?H: Oh, no. No that was in when the flat was built.W: Is it quite reliable? (Oh yes.) because I’ve had problems with a shower recently? (Yes, no I’ve never had problems with that. No. It’s really good.) Is it gas heated at the water point?H: No, that is electric. (Ah.)Statements:1. Wendy Stott knows nothing about the flat before she comes to have a look at it.2. The flat was decorated five or six years ago.3. The house owner has used the oven and the stove for about five or six years.4. The windows in the largest bedroom are right down to the floor.5. There is a balcony in the sitting-room.Part ⅥInterviewer: how important are property prices in the economy?Roy: In the UK, most people invest most of their money in their house. So property prices are extremely important.Interviewer: Mmm. What’s you view on the UK property market? Do you think prices are too high?Roy: Well, in recent years, prices have gone up…ten to twenty percent a year, um…in some years even more. But inflation has been just two or three percent a year. So I think it’s clear that, um…the bloom has to end.Interviewer: Mmm. The last property market crash, in the UK, was in the late 1980s, and it put the UK economy into a recession. Do you think the same thing will happen again.Roy: I don’t think prices will crash. The…the economic situation was different in the late 80s…interest rates rose quite fast just before property prices fell. Today the Bank of England is much more careful with… with changes in interest rates. The other important difference, I think, is that then unemployment was quite high. Today, it’s very low—about five percent. So I don’t think prices will crash, but it is possible they’ll fall a little. Or stay at the same level for a few years.Interviewer: Banks have lent people a lot of money in recent years. People have got big mortgages. Do you think there’ll be a problem? Will people have less money to spend in the future?Roy: Oh, certainly. Because the loan haven’t just been mortgages — people have also borrowed money to spend in the shops. So far, that’s helped the economy, because spending has been high. But at the end of the day, people will have to pay the money back. So I think we’ll see lowerconsumer spending over the next few years.PartⅤApartment manager: well, hi, Mr. Brown. How’s your apartment working out for you?Tenant: Well Mr. Nelson. That’s what I would like to talk to you about. (What?) Well, I want to talk to you about that noise! (Oh) You see. Would you mind talking to the tenant in 4B and ask him to keep his music down, especially after 10:00 o’clock at night?Apartment Manager: Ohhh. Who me?Tenant: Why yes. The music is blaring almost every night, and it should be your job as manager to take care of these things.Apartment Manager: Hey, I just collect the rent. Besides, the man living there is the owner’s son, and he’s a walking refrigerator. (Well . . .) Hey, I’ll see what I can do. Anything else?Tenant: Well, yes. Could you talk to the owners of the property next door about the pungent odor drifting this way.Apartment Manager: Well, the area is zoned for agricultural and livestock use, so there’s nothing much I can do about that.Tenant: Well, what about the . . . . That, that noise.Apartment Manager: What noise? I don’t hear anything.Tenant: There, there it is again.Apartment Manager: What noise?Tenant: That noise.Apartment Manager: Oh, that noise. I guess the military has resumed its exercises on the artillery range.Tenant: You have to be kidding. Can’t anything be done about it?Apartment Manager: Why certainly. I’ve protested this activity, and these weekly (Weekly!) activities should cease . . . within the next three to five years.Tenant: Hey, you never told me about these problems before I signed the rental agreement.。

新技能英语学生用书2听力原文Unit 2 weatherPart A1. The weather today: a fine day is in store nearly everywhere, with the best ofthe sunshine in southern and central areas of Britain. A pleasant day, then, withlong sunny periods developing. Light winds. There will be light winds with a maximum temperature of 18 degrees Celsius, 64 degrees Fahrenheit.Looking at the outlook for the next few days, it will become mostly cloudy with heavy showers moving in from the west.2. A storm in Changchun, capital of Northeast China’s Jilin Province, claimed four lives on Sunday. The storm lasted about three minutes from around 8 p.m. The winds reached speeds of over a hundred miles an hour, causing serious damage and a widespread power failure.Part BDid You Hear the Weather Forecast?Alan: Oh, look at the sky, Michelle! It’s starting to get cloudy.Michelle: I see it. I hope it doesn’t rain. I thought it was going to be a fineday today.Alan: That’s certainly what the department was hoping for when they chose today as the date for the annual picnic.Michelle: You can’t have a picnic without good weather. You need sunshine for all the eating and games and entertainment.Alan: Yeah, sunshine –but not too much! Do you remember last year? Michelle: I sure do. It was so hot all we did was look for shade, look for ways to escape from the sun.Alan: And no one wanted to participate in any of the planned activities. All we wanted was cold drinks. And the dozed off.Michelle: If there had just been the tiniest breeze to cool us off…Alan: But there wasn’t. just that burning sun, without a cloud in the sky, and the temperature just seemed to climb higher and higher.Michelle: Well, we don’t have that problem this year, apparently. Alan, did you hear the weather forecast? Is it supposed to rain?Alan: I don’t know. I didn’t catch the weather report. But maybe if it rains, itwill only be a short shower which cools things off a little. That might not be bad.Part CA ThunderstormLili: Look, Betty, the sky has turned completely black!Betty: Oh, wow. A big thunderstorm is coming. But I guess it won’t last long.Lili: Yeah, maybe for about twenty minutes or so it’s going to seem like it’s the end of the world. And then the sun will come out again.Betty: I like storms like this. Summer is dramatic. What do you think, Lili?Lili: Yes, these storms do come quite suddenly in the summer. I often seem to get caught without an umbrella.Betty: But it’s not so terribly getting caught in the rain occasionally in the summer. Now if you got all wet during a cold, dreary winter day –that really would be horrible.Lili: True. Ah, it’s starting to rain now. here it comes. Yes, it’s starting topour.Betty: Here comes the lightning and thunder too.Lili: At least it’s supposed to clear up later this afternoon, and to be fine this evening.Betty: That’s good, because I’m going to meet some friends tonight.Lili: Well, most likely you will have a very pleasant evening, because this storm should take some of the humidity from the air.Betty: Yes, I must admit that these Chinese summers are very humid.Lili: More humid than in the US?Betty: Well, I can’t speak about the whole country. But as far as New York goes,I’d say that the weather here in Shanghai tends to be hotter and more humid.Lili: But I think our winters are milder.Betty: Yes, I’m sure they are. We probably also get more snow in New Your than you do here。

Let me start by sharing a story of Richard Rochester, one of the most successful businessmen in Britain. ⑰Years ago, I was given a task of organizing a conference in the south of England. I chose a five-star hotel owned by Rochester as the venue. Susan, the receptionist, helped me arrange everything perfectly. Once when we were chatting, I asked Susan if she’d ever met Mr. Rochester. She said “Yes.” Shortly after Mr. Rochester b ought the hotel, he made an appointment to see the hotel manager, when he arrived, the first person he met was Susan who was cleaning thecarpet. He chatted with Susan for 30 minutes before keeping his appointment with the manager. ⑱He spent all day at the hotel talking with each member of the staff from the top guy to the lady who cleaned the toilets. Six months later, ⑲Mr. Rochester paid another visit. Susan had been promoted to receptionist, but he recognized her immediately and addressed her by name. He even remembered that she had a little girl and what her name was. Now I don’t believe that Richard Rochester has that good memory. He must have written a lot of notes after his first visit and read them over again before that second visit. ⑳It’s time-consuming, but it shows the importance he places on human relationships. I think that’s one of the secrets of his success.。

He owns very little and lives in a small apartment. He doesn't have a car or a TV set. He doesn't have many clothes and he doesn't care about money when he makes a lot of money, he gives it away. He doesn't smoke and he works from six in the morning until late at night, seven days a week: he is paying back to America his debt as a citizen.When he went to parties as a young man, people complained that all he talked about was the dangers of cars, and how bad car design caused the deaths of so many people each year. After he graduated from Harvard, he published an article entitled "Unsafe at Any Speed," which was about a car called Corvair. Later, he made a big attack on the car industry and showed how many deaths in car accidents were because of badly-made cars. He said new laws were needed to make cars safer. In 1966, because of Nader's work, a law was passed to make car safer.After this success, Nader became interested in something very different. This was thequality of meat and the amount of meat that is put into foods like sausages and hamburgers. A year later, in 1967, again because of Nader's work, a law was passed to ensure that products like sausages and hamburgers contained the right amount of meat. In 1968, three more laws were passed because of Nader's efforts. The first was to ensure the safety of gas pipelines -- these are the pipes that take gas across the country from one town to another. The second was to protect people from radiation --that is, the dangerous radiation which may leak from nuclear sources. The third was to ensure the proper standard of poultry -- that is, the chicken and turkey meat.Ralph Nader, now one of the most influential people in the United States, has set a wonderful example of what determined men and women can do to improve the quality of life in their country.Exercise A:1.

They never talk to me!They just leave me alone.Father: But why?Daughter: How should I know?Father: Isn't it possible it's because you're not very friendly towards them?

It will get you into a lot of trouble.Woman: Oh, thanks for telling me.Number 8Man: You said "tossing your head" means "come here" for Germans? Woman: That's right. But there are some other meanings. In India, it means "yes."But it has the opposite meaning in Italy. In Italy it means "no."Man: Hmm, "yes" in India, "no" in Italy. Isn't it interesting how the same thing can have such different meanings? Woman: It sure is.Part 2 passagesWhy Shouldn't you Go by First Impressions?One shouldn't always go by* first impressions. In my hometown there lived a giant of a man with huge hands and a manner so fierce and unfriendly that he always sat alone in any public place. Yet to those who knew him, he was a kind and generous friend. In the same way one should never assume* that somebody who looks inoffensive is always going to behave in an inoffensive manner.Recently my young brother, who works for a famous American airline, was reminded of this truth. The plane was overbooked and for once all the passengers turned up. So my brotherhad the difficult task of choosing three passengers and informing them that they couldn't travel on the flight in question*. Knowing that the young are generally impatient and often aggressive, my brother chose three elderly travelers, an English couple and a little old American lady.The English couple accepted the situation and went to have a drink while waiting for the next flight. Then my brother approached the American lady, whose name was Mrs. Pepper, with a sad smile on his face, "Mrs. Pepper? May I have a few words? I'm afraid we have a problem.""A problem? What de you mean, we have a problem, young man?"“Would you like to come into the office” asked my brother, sensing that this was not going to be easy."Oh, very well, but only for a moment. I have a plane to catch, you know.""Er ... yes." My brother explained the position.The little lady looked at him with steely, blue eyes. "Young man," she said.

This year, Sky News has filmed with rhinosin South Africa, clearly seeing the damage done bypoachers, and it's thought the number of rhinos killedthere might reach a record high this year.Interviewee1 ： Poaching levels are at... you know,unprecedented levels now, you know, they've gonethrough the roof. The rhino ... they're anticipating1,000 rhinos to be slaughtered in South Africa, er,this year alone.Reporter： In the past year, UK customs officials have seized2.5 million illegal itoms.

But the rhino horn will be destroyed, andprevented from ever hitting the black market again.Harriet Hadfield, Sky News.Unit 4-Listening inNews reportOver the past few years, the true crime genre has grown in popularity in the US. First, there was the podcast Serial, which revisited the case of Adnan Syed. He was imprisoned for the 1999 murder of his high school classmate and former girlfriend, which he claims he did not commit. Then Netflix came out with the documentary series Making a Murderer . The series follows the real-life story of Steven Avery ， a man who was wrongly imprisoned for 18 years for a crime he didn ’tcommit. But soon after he was released from prison, he was arrested for the murder of a photographer. Again, he claims that hedidn ’tcommit the crime.Some fans are even investigating the crimes and trials themselves. They have gathered and analyzed evidence andshared theories on other possible suspects. Both Serial and Making a Murderer have had impacts on the cases involved. Syed was given another chance to present evidence to prove he is innocent after his case became a pop cultural phenomenon, and more than 500,000 people asked for Steven Avery to be freed after the release of Making a Murderer .1.What is the news report mainly about?2.What do the cases in the programs have in common?Passage 1Patrick I read a funny story today in the paper - true story. Steve Go on, then.Patrick OK. This 72-year-old guy stole a pair of trousers from a department store in Paris. A security man saw him and alerted the police and they were waiting for him when he came out of the shop. The shoplifter started running, but the policeman soon caught up with him. The man then bit the policeman on his arm several times. Steve He bit the policeman?Patrick Yes - you have to remember, he was 72.Steve I'd forgotten that.Patrick Problem was, it didn't hurt the policeman at all,'cause the guy had forgotten to put his false teeth in before heleft home.Steve Very funny!Patrick And the moral of the story is -Steve Always remember to wear your false teeth if you'regoing to bite someone.Patrick That's good. I read a funny crime story the other day. Let's see ... yeah ... this guy... this guy robbed a supermarket somewhere in America -1 can't remember where exactly -anyway, he got away with about 4,000 dollars. The next week the local newspaper reported the story but said he'd stolen 6,000 dollars. The thief rang the newspaper office to complain. He said, "Look, I only took 4,000 dollars. I'm wondering if the supermarket manager took another 2,000 and said I'd taken it. I did not take 6,000, I promise you."Steve He was probably telling the truth.Patrick He probably was. Anyway, the newspaper managed to keep the guy talking while they rang the police. And the police traced the call - the guy was ringing from a phonebooth - and they arrested him while he was still talking tothe newspaper.Steve That's good. Stupid guy! I've got another true story ... This - this - old guy was in court for some crime - and he fell asleep. His case began and his lawyer stood up and said, "My client pleads not guilty." The man suddenly woke up, but wasn't sure what was happening. He jumped up and shouted, "I plead guilty! I plead guilty!"Patrick So what happened?Steve The judge allowed him to plead not guilty.Patrick That's the best, I think.Passage 2Presenter You're listening to Kevin Fallen and my topic for today is street crime. Being mugged is something that can happen to anyone - and it's a very frightening experience. So it's positive when you hear of someone who was attacked by a mugger and defeated them - especially when that person is a woman. Anna Black was attacked by a mugger. She's here to tell us about it. How long ago did this happen, Anna?Anna Just over a week ago. The day it happened,I was coming home from work a bit later than usual -1 think it was about seven. I was on my mobile phone, talking to my husband.Presenter And it was still daylight?Anna Yes. Anyway, suddenly, someone pulled my hair from behind - and at the same time they grabbed my mobile phone. Now, I'm a karate black belt -Presenter Really!Anna Yes, I practise three times a week - so I'm ready for situations like this.Presenter I bet you are.Anna Yes, I can react very fast. So as soon as this guy grabbed me, I did what you're told to do in these situations. Presenter And what's that?Anna I fell backwards onto him.Presenter You fell backwards onto him!Anna Yeah! I'm tall and quite heavy - so we both fell to the ground together.Presenter Goodness!Anna I er, yeah -1 was ready to hit him but then next thing I knew, two men had seized the guy. They were driving past and they, they stopped to help. They were big strong guys. They called the police who came in five minutes.Presenter So the mugger was arrested?Anna Yes, he was.Presenter Do you think, if that hadn't happened, you could have injured him?Anna Oh, I'd like to think so. I'm a black belt,that's what I'm trained to do.Presenter Well, it's great to hear of women coping well in situations like this. Perhaps we should all learn karate.Anna I think it's a good idea to have some kind of defence training. Yes, especially if you live in an area that isn't very safe.。

Janet: So this is the Cherwell Boathouse ¡ª it's lovely! And look at those people punting! It looks quite easy.Mark: I'm not so sure about that! Janet, there's something Kate and I wanted to discuss with you. Some people in college are organizing charity events this term. We've decided to get involved.Janet: Raising money for charity? Right. In China, people raise money for charity but students don't usually do that. Mark: Students often do that here. Anyway, we're thinking of doing sponsored punting.Janet: Sponsored punting! What's that?Kate: Sponsoring is when people pay you to do something ¡ª like run a long distance. So people would be sponsoring students to punt.Janet: What a great idea! I'd love to join you!Mark: That's why we're telling you about it. So that's decided then. Let's make a list of things we need to do.Kate: I'll do that. One of the first things we should do is choose the charity. Mark: Yes. And choose a day for the event. And we need to design the sponsorship form.

We spoke to Alex Jude, the university's Head of Communications. He explained that Harvard looks for the best and most talented students from around the world. Alex Harvard actually seeks students from around the world, the best students that we can find, to study chemistry, or study literature, or study government, or business. Our business school is particularly well-known around the world, as is the medical school and law school, so, um, and, and the Kennedy School of Government, or the John F Kennedy School of Government, so, er, we do seek very, very talented students and we have open doors for them.Voice-over We asked five students at Harvard to tell us what kind of social life they have.Ashley Um, well relaxing is a little hard to do around here, but basically, I mean,I still, I, I live nearby anyway, so I see a lot of my friends, and ... Um, there'sa good social life here if you look for it. I go to the gym, run. So that's what I do.Adam It's, it's whatever you want it to be. It's good. If you wanna go out party, do anything you can. If you wanna sit in your room and study all night like my friend over here, you can also do that.Brian Socially, like you said, it's, it's a lot of what you make it. Um, we don't have fraternities here, and so, you know, that's, it's obviously not as social. There's not as many parties as there would be on another campus. Um, but on a Friday or Saturday night, there, there, there will be a party. Usually we end up studying until about 10 o'clock. And then we, and then we'll go out and have fun maybe, or just watch a movie with friends, or, you know, whatever is going on for the night. Jodie Not everyone would agree with me, obviously, but it's, I think it's a fun place to be. Interviewer Have you made a lot of friends? Jodie Oh, definitely. Interviewer Mm. Jodie Many.Interviewer What, what do you do with your friends? Jodie Um, well, I like to go to concerts. I'm in three music groups, so I have lots of rehearsals during the week for that.
