Unit 1 College culture

Inside view

Conversation1

Janet

So this is the Cherwell Boathouse – 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 – 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. I’ve got

one here.

Kate

That looks fine, but we must change the

wording. Who wants to do that?

Mark

I’ll do that. What have we got so far?

Kate

Choose a charity. Also a day for the event.

Change the wording on the sponsorship form

… Um … We have to decide where the punt

will start from.

Mark

Cherwell Boathouse, no question! It's a very

beautiful route from here, apparently.

Kate

I’m with you on that.

Janet

Me too …

Conversation2

Janet

I’m not used to boats – Woah!

Mark

Whoops!

Kate

Watch out! You nearly hit me with that thing!

Mark

Sorry! I didn’t mean to. … OK, we’re off!

Kate

Maybe I should do the punting.

Mark

It’s fine. I’ve got the hang of it now – give me

a chance.

Kate

Well, I’d like to have a go.

Mark

Supposing I do the first hour. Then you can

take over for a while, if you want to.

Kate

Yes, great.

Janet

You’re really good at it, Mark! This is

fantastic! It’s exactly how I imagined life here!

Look over there – isn’t it lovely!

Kate

Yes, it is.

Janet

Kate, everything’s organized, isn’t it, for

collecting the sponsorship money?

Kate

Yes, I’ve arranged for people to get the

money to me by next Friday – if they haven’t

paid online. I’ll count it all up.

Janet

Good. We’d better have a meeting soon after

that, don’t you think? How much have we

raised?

Janet

About 600.

Kate

Fantastic! I’m so enjoying this!

Mark

Hey guys, I’ve got a suggestion – how about

moving over to the bank and we can have our

picnic! Hey, look, there’s Louise and Sophie!

Mark

Whoo …

Girls Mark!

Janet

Are you all right?

Mark

Er … Of course I’m all right. Kate, I think it’s

your turn to punt!

Outside view

V/O

Harvard University in Cambridge is one of the

best universities in the world. 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 lawschool, 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.

V/O

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’s a good social life here if

you look for it. I go to the gym, run. So that’s

what I do.

Adam

It is 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.

Int. Have you made a lot of friends?

Jodie

Oh, definitely.

Int.

Mm.

Jodie

Many.

Int.

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. Um, just do, you
