W: Hi, Jack.
M: Ah, Mary. How are you?
W: Oh, fine. How’s it going? Have you just had a class? You look a little tired.
M: Yeah. I just finished my listening class. It was a little bit difficult to me. Sometimes I really cannot follow the teacher.
W: Yeah, it’s always difficult in the beginning. I found it quite hard when I first arrived. Mnn...but you know, what really made a difference was going on these social activities that the college arranges for you. It gives you a chance to practise your English and...
M: Hmm...I’ve heard that the college is pretty good about organizing those kinds of things. I’d love to go of course. But how do I find out about them?
W: Well, I’ve just picked up a schedule today. Let’s...let’s have a look at it. Here it is...They’ve got singing with Guitar on Monday nights. So I went to this last week.
M: Really?
W: Yes. It’s quite good fun. They teach you modern and traditional songs.
M: But, I’m not much of a singer.
W: Oh, come on. You should go. It’s ok if you do not sing well. It’d be a good way to practise your English.
M: Yes. All fight. Wait, what time does this singing thing finish? I have an appointment with one of my professors at 8:30.
W: Usually it starts at 7 o’clock, and kinda lasts about two hours, but I mean, we can always leave earlier, they don’t mind.
M: Oh, that will be great. I can do both.
