Unit 1-- Conversation 1
Janet: So this is the Cherwell Boathouse ?a it's lovely! And look at those people punting! It looks quite easy.
Mark: I'm not so sure about that! Janet, there's something Kate and I wanted to discuss with you. Some people in college are organizing charity events this term. We've decided to get involved. Janet: Raising money for charity? Right. In China, people raise money for charity but students don't usually do that. Mark: Students often do that here. Anyway, we're thinking of doing sponsored punting. Janet: Sponsored punting! What's that?
Kate: Sponsoring is when people pay you to do something ?a like run a long distance. So people would be sponsoring students to punt. Janet: What a great idea! I'd love to join you!
Mark: That's why we're telling you about it. So that's decided then. Let's make a list of things we need to do.
Kate: I'll do that. One of the first things we should do is choose the charity.
Mark: Yes. And choose a day for the event. And we need to design the sponsorship form. I've got one here.
Kate: That looks fine, but we must change the wording. Who wants to do that?
Mark: I'll do that. What have we got so far?
Kate: Choose a charity. Also a day for the event. Change the wording on the sponsorship form... Um ... We have to decide where the punt will start from.
Mark: Cherwell Boathouse, no question! It's a very beautiful route from here, apparently. Kate: I'm with you on that.
Janet:Metoo Unit 1--Conversation 2 Janet: I'm not used to boats ?a Woah! Mark: Whoops!
Kate: Watch out! You nearly hit me with that thing! Mark: Sorry! I didn't mean to. ... OK, we're off! Kate: Maybe I should do the punting. Mark:It's fine.I've got the hang of it now ?agive me a chance. Kate: Well, I'd like to have a go. Mark: Supposing I do the first hour. Then you can take over for a while, if you want to. Kate: Yes, great.
Janet: You're really good at it, Mark! This is fantastic! It's exactly how I imagined life here! Look over there ?aisn't it lovely! Kate: Yes, it is.
Janet: Kate, everything's organized, isn't it, for collecting the sponsorship money? Kate: Yes, I've arranged for people to get the money to me by next Friday ?a if they haven't paid online. I'll count it all up. Janet: Good. We'd better have a meeting soon after that, don't you think? How much have we raised? Kate: About 600.

Mark: Er .Of course I'm all right. Kate, I think it's your turn to punt!
Unit 1-Outside View
Voice-over Harvard University in Cambridge is one of the best universities in the world. We spoke to Alex Jude, the university's Head of Communications. He explained that Harvard looks for the best and most talented students from around the world.
Alex Harvard actually seeks students from around the world, the best students that we can find, to study chemistry, or study literature, or study government, or business. Our business school is particularly well-known around the world, as is the medical school and law school, so, um, and, and the Kennedy School of Government, or the John F Kennedy School of Government, so, er, we do seek very, very talented students and we have open doors for them.
Voice-over We asked five students at Harvard to tell us what kind of social life they have.
Ashley Um, well relaxing is a little hard to do around here, but basically, I mean, I still, I, I live nearby anyway, so I see a lot of my friends, and ... Um, there's a good social life here if you look for it. I go to the gym, run. So that's what I do. Adam It's, it's whatever you want it to be. It's good. If you wanna go out party, do anything you can. If you wanna sit in your room and study all night like my friend over here, you can also do that. Brian Socially, like you said, it's, it's a lot of what you make it. Um, we don't have fraternities here, and so, you know, that's, it's obviously not as social. There's not as many parties as there would be on another campus. Um, but on a Friday or Saturday night, there, there, there will be a party. Usually we end up studying until about 10 o'clock. And then we, and then we'll go out and have fun maybe, or just watch a movie with friends, or, you know, whatever is going on for the night. Jodie Not everyone would agree with me, obviously, but it's, I think it's a fun place to be. Interviewer Have you made a lot of friends? Jodie Oh, definitely.
Interviewer Mm. Jodie Many.
Interviewer What, what do you do with your friends? Jodie
Um, well, I like to go to concerts. I'm in three music groups, so I have lots of rehearsals during the week for that. Um, just do, you know, some fun things, on the weekend.
