Audio Track 3-5-1

A:
You’re majoring in international business law, is that correct?

B: That’s correct.

A: And what made you choose this university?
B: Well, I want to be a lawyer and this university has one of the most respected law departments in
the country. It was an easy choice. What about you?
A: My
major is
international business. I
researched several universities but decided on this one
because
it
has
strong
links
with
many
multinational
businesses.
I
hope
that
will
help
when
I
graduate and start looking for jobs.
B: How did you find the application process?

A: Well, I had to take an entrance examination, of course. Then, I submitted an application form
along with my official high school transcripts and a letter of recommendation.

B: And did you get accepted immediately?
A: No, I had to attend an interview. I remember I was very nervous.

B: It was exactly the same for me. But we must have interviewed well as we’re here now.

C=Counselor, K=Kai
C: Hello, Kai. Have a seat.
K: Hi, Ms. Danielson.
C:
How’s it going? Are you excited about graduating?

K:
I guess so. But there’s so much to do between now and then.

C:
Well, let’s talk about that … Let me check your file here. So, what’s
new? Have you researched
any colleges or universities?
K:
Well, I researched three … like you told me to.

C: Good, good. Which ones?
K:
Let’s see … California State University, Harvard University, and City College.

C: And?
K: Well, I applied to two: Harvard and City College. Cal State is just too far away.
C:
Sounds like you’ve been thinking about this seriously. That’s good.

K: Yep.
C: Any news yet?
K:
Well, I got accepted to City College. I haven’t heard anything from Harvard. I probably won’t
get accepted there.
C: Why do you say that?
K:
You know … it’s so competitive. I don’t think my grades are good enough.

C:
Well, let’s wait and see.

K:
I’ll probably go to City College. My brother went there. I visited the campus and I like it.

Lucia: And finally today, we have a report about graduating seniors. Jason Kim is standing by.
…

Jason, are you there?
Jason: Hi, Lucia.
Lucia:
The Metro Times newspaper asked college seniors, “What are you going to do after you
graduate?
”

Jason:
That’s right, Lucia. The students gave some surprising answers, too.

Lucia:
For example …?

Jason:
Well, more than 50 percent of the students say that they aren’t going to start a new job right
away.

Lucia: Well, what are their future plans?
Jason:
Let’s ask some of them. … Excuse me.

Mizuki: Yes?
Jason:
I’m Jason Kim from XCA
-TV
. Your name, please?
Mizuki: Mizuki.
Jason: And what are you studying?
Mizuki: Art.
Jason: OK, Mizuki, what are you going to do after you graduate?
Mizuki:
I don’t know. I’
ll probably just chill out for a while.
Jason: Chill out?
Mizuki: You know, relax.
Jason:
OK, Mizuki. Thanks for your comments. … Hello, I’m Jason Kim and we’re doing a live
report. What’s your name and major?

Robert:
My name is Robert and I’m studying law
.
Jason: What are you going to do after you graduate?
Robert:
I don’t know … maybe I’ll take a long trip.

Jason: What about a job?
Robert:
Work? Maybe one of these days. But first I’d like to take a trip.

Jason: Thank you, Robert, and good luck. Well, that
’s all for now. This has been Jason Kim, with
my report on college seniors. Now, back to you, Lucia …

1.

Hi,
I’m
Eduardo.
I
got
accepted
to
college
recently.
Since
the
school
i
s
just
in
my
neighborhood, I’m
going to live at home. I will not apply for a scholarship because it is too hard to
get
it.
I
think
I’ll
be
able
to
support
myself
by
working
part
-time.
In
my
view,
money
is
very
important though it is not everything. So most probably I’ll study business. I hope I can make it
big after graduation.
2.

I’m Jill. I’m going to join a sorority. I want to make more friends of the same sex. I think that
women should be united and should always help each other. I’m going to do volunteer work in my
spare
time
to
help
those
elderly
ladies
in
t
he
community
with
their
errands.
I’m
not
going
to
a
large university since I can’t afford it.

3.

I’m Max and this is Sara. We love each other. We’re not going to live in student housing. We
plan to live in a medium-size apartment not far away from the un
iversity. We’re going to study
together and work part-time.

Audio Track 3-5-7

I’m Mary and I’m twenty. I’m studying Lifelong Education at the University of Tokyo. I think it’s
important
for everyone to keep learning all their lives. That’s why
I chose to
major in Lifelong
Education.
Personally,
I’m
planning
to
further
my
education
in
an
American
university
after
graduation. So right now, I’m taking an English class. I want to improve my English. I’m working
part-time at a video store because I need to save money for my studies abroad.
I have a boyfriend and he wants to go and study in the United States too. We have similar interests
and personalities. I’m going to get married and live in a house by the ocean. Sooner or later, I’ll
have
my
own
children.
I
will
most
probably
stay
at
home
to
be
a
full-time
mother
before
my
children are sixteen years old. To witness their growth would be the most valuable thing in my
life.

New graduates talk about the future
After
the
City
College
graduation
ceremony
yesterday,
we
talked
to
three
students
about
their
plans and their dreams.

Here is what Jameela Brown had to say about her future:
I worked so hard for four years. I need a break now! I majored in biology and chemistry, and I had
a summer job in a day care center. I’m going to take a year off before I start medical school. My
plan is to travel and do volunteer work in West Africa. I’ll be a doctor someday but I’m not sure
what kind of doctor I’ll be.

Jennie Min talked about her plans:
I studied business, and it was easy for me to find a job. Next month I’ll move to New York to start
work at Giant Corporation. But I don’t really want to spend my whole life working for a company.
I
hope
I
can
start
my
own
business.
Maybe
something
with
food.
I
love
cooking!
In
college,
I
cooked dinner for my roommates every night.
Shane Peterson told us about his big dream:
Wow!
Four
years
really
went
fast.
I
can’t
believe
it’s
graduation
day!
My
major
was
computer
science, but I spent all my free time playing music. I played guitar in two different bands. I also
play electronic music, using computers. I have job interviews with three software companies next
week. I’m not worried about getting a job, but I really want to play music, too. That’s my b
iggest
dream.

Interviewer:

We
now
have
a
winner!
Stephanie
Lee
from
Vancouver,
Canada
answered
our
questions and
won the top prize: She will be our youth travel reporter in Europe! She’s going to
travel
for
three
months
and
write
about
her
experiences
for
our
website.
Do
you
have
any
international travel experience?
Stephanie:

Yes, I do. Two years ago, I spent the summer in Hong Kong, China. I stayed with my
grandmother and worked in the family business. I also visited Africa last year.
Interviewer:

What do your travel experiences tell us about you?
Stephanie:

I stayed in Hong Kong for about two months. I think that shows I can stay away from
home for a long time. I don’t get homesick at all. In Africa, I went to
Tanzania. The highlight was
climbing Mount Kilimanjaro. It’s the highest mountain in Africa. The climb was very hard. Two
people turned back before they reached the top. I made it all the way! Once I start something, I
never give up.
Interviewer:

This job
gives you a digital camera and pays your travel expenses. It doesn’t pay a
salary. How will you get your spending money?
Stephanie:

I had a part-time job in a restaurant. I had worked there for two years. Fortunately, I
saved a lot of money, so I won’t h
ave to worry about money for my trip to Europe.
Interviewer:

Why should we choose you?
Stephanie:

Because I love to travel! I’m a hard worker and will have no trouble filing reports on
time
—
and I have a lot of energy!
