Lead in

Task 1: Listen to the recording, and complete the following passage. Then find out

the

subject

and

the

predicate

in

each

sentence.

And

get

familiar

with

the

basic

sentence patterns.

College is a small society itself. In college, you will meet lots of people. There

will

be

clubs,

teams,

parties,

volunteer

activities,

lectures,

movies,

etc.

You

will

doubtlessly have more work than you have ever had, but you will also have more

free time. Also, college experience changes your ideas for life. You get rid of your

feeling

of

importance

which

you

had

at

high

school and

realize

that

in

the

larger

picture, it doesn

’

t matter if you wear branded clothes or have the hottest hairstyle

College

also

helps

you

feel

free

to

start

conversations

with

people

on

many

topics. It

’

s good for you to improve your communication skills. Of course, you may

feel

nervous

and

awkward

at

first.

It

’

s

quite

understandable.

But

all

that

will

change.

Apart from the enjoyment and movement, college also provides skills that you

need for a wonderful career. You will have chances to learn and practice these skills.

And you will get prepared for your dreamed jobs that lie ahead.

Task 2 Discuss the following questions with your partner about your first year plans

in college.

1.
