Dialogue A. Mary: Today is a very special workshop
Mary: Today is a very special workshop. There is no text to read or listen to, no exercises to do. You may ask me all sorts of questions, if you have any.
Student A: Do English students take examinations every term?
Mary: No, they don’t. They do exams — they are called «finals» in their last term at the University.
Student B: Only once. Then they can enjoy life in the first years.
Mary: They have a lot of work to do. They attend lectures, seminars and tutorials and write essays. Technical students do a lot of work in the lab. And then they take class exams every year about May, but these are not public exams.
Student A: We do class exams every other week. That is not difficult.
Student C: What is a tutorial?
Mary: In a tutorial a teacher discusses individual work with a student. The teacher is called a tutor. He reports to the head of the department, so the professor knows everything about the students.
Student B: What do they do in a seminar?
Mary: Discuss things.
Student A: Do all students live in the halls of residence?
Mary: Most first year students do. Others rent a flat or a bed-sitter in town.
Student C: Where do married students live?
Mary: Married students? They do not normally marry while at the University. They wait till they get a job and can support a family.
Student C: Do English students receive grants?
Mary: It depends on their parents’ income.
Student A: Are there any clubs?
Mary: A lot of them. The Students’ Union organizes social, sporting and cultural activities.
Student B: What is the latest dance in England now?
Mary: I’m afraid I don’t know.
Student C: What do you think of the «Police»?
Mary: Do you mean demonstrations and all that?
Student C: No, I mean the pop group.
Mary: Ah, that «Police» group. Personally I don’t like them. But I have a suggestion. What about having a party - a music party in the English club? We may listen to my tapes or your records and have a nice talk.
Students: That’s a great idea. When?
