Listen to part of a conversation between a student and a professor.
Student Hello!
Professor Hi, come in... I’ll be with you in a moment...OK, hi, Melissa, how are you doing?
Student I’m doing great. Hi, Dr. Golden. How are you doing?
Professor Pretty busy these days! How are your studies now?
Student Good! Everything is on the right track. I’m trying to meet the deadlines for my papers.
Professor Melissa. I wanted to let you know that we have been notified about this year’s scholarship winner.
Student Really? It seems so soon! I can’t believe that it is almost May! So, did I pull it off? Do I get to be the first student from UAP to accept a scholarship to the University of Lima?
Professor Yes, you did! Congratulations, Melissa!
Student Thank you so much! Dr. Golden, I feel so excited about this news.
Professor You did it! You are the first student from UAP to be accepted! What an honor! We are all so proud of you!
Student Thank you, Dr. Golden. You have been a great help to me in getting this scholarship.
Professor You are welcome. Your efforts have paid off.
Student I promise that I’ll do my best to represent our school and to make you all proud of me! Professor We are already proud of you. You got to tell your parents about it. They must be very proud of you.
Student Yes, I will. They have been waiting to learn this news for quite a long time.
Professor Eh...Melissa. I really feel that you will be able to contribute great things to the field of anthropology in the future! Yes, I’m very much interested to see what insights you come back with from Peru. Have you started thinking about what kind of senior project you’d like to write when you return from South America?
Student Yes, I’ve been thinking that it would be great to study the Amazon and all of the cultures that thrive on its banks.
Professor Uh-huh, I think that would make a great paper.
Student I think I would like to do my senior project on this topic. What do you think?
Professor Well, that’s good, but...
Student But what?
Professor The Amazon is a huge river, and there is no way that you can write just one paper on all of the cultures and peoples who live along the bank of the Amazon. If I were you, I would choose three or four tribes to write about.
Student You are right. But I’m so interested in knowing all the cultures and peoples there that I want to cover all of them in my paper.
Professor I understand. But it would be quite difficult to include them all in your paper.
Student OK then, I will take your advice.
Professor Good!
Student Before I leave for Peru, I’ll have an outline for you. I’ll try to limit my focus to three or four tribes living along the river.
Professor Congratulations again! I’m very proud of you!
Student Thanks! I’d better call my parents to tell them the good news!
Professor Bye! Have a good day!
Student You too.
