Eric和Patty是好朋友，也是大学同学。他们中午一起吃饭，聊起了校园生活。
Professor: In this first part, we will learn how to ask what classes someone is taking.
Patty: Hi Eric! Are you having fun at college?
Eric: Yes, it's great. How many classes are you taking?
Patty: I'm taking four classes. Are you taking a lot of classes?
Eric: I'm taking three classes.
Professor Bowman, Eric怎么只选三门课？美国大学生的日子也太轻松了吧！
Professor: Well Winnie, maybe they are taking hard classes and have to study a lot. 自学者英语论坛以寓教于乐的方式打造最好的免费自学柿? 这么说也有道理。可能正是因为课程难度大，所以他们才只选几门课。
Professor: Let's listen and find out what their classes are. Patty: What classes are you taking?
Eric: Well, I'm taking English classes.
Patty: I see. Well I'm taking a lot of science classes, like chemistry.
Eric: Chemistry? Wow, that sounds hard. You must have a lot of work.
Professor Bowman， Eric为什么要选英文课呢？英语不是他的母语么？这算不算投机取巧？
Professor: Well Winnie, some English classes are hard, even for Americans. Students have to read very hard books. 原来如此。那么，在美国大学里，学生们是不是每天都要上课呢？
Professor: Well, let's listen to Eric and Patty talking about when they have classes.
Patty: What's your schedule like?
Eric: It's great! I only have classes from Monday to Thursday!
Patty: You don't have any classes on Friday?
Eric: No, so I can have fun with my friends on Thursday night.
Eric不光选修英文课，而且一个礼拜只上四天课，这怎么可能？
Professor: Yes, some students have easy schedules. Now let's listen to them talking about their professors.
Eric: Who is your chemistry professor?
Patty: I got Professor Franklin for chemistry. He's really great!
Eric: Who did you get for math?
Patty: I got Professor Martinez for math. He's good, but the TA is so boring. TA? TA是什么？
Professor: A TA is a "teaching assistant." They are older students who help professors teach the younger students.
TA就是Teaching Assistant的缩写，也就是助教的意思。Patty说她很喜欢自己的数学教授，不过教授的那位助教却非常沉闷无聊。
Professor: Right. You know, if my students don't study hard enough, sometimes I'll get a mean TA to help me teach. 我们不认真，你就要找个厉害的TA，那我们如果特别认真，你就会找个特别帅的TA喽？Professor: No. If I get a cute TA, everyone will have a crush on him and study less. Now Eric and Patty are going to talk about what clubs they are in.
Patty: I'm in some fun clubs.
Eric: What kind of clubs are you in?
Patty: I do all kinds of things. I do some academic clubs, but other clubs are just for fun. 哇, Patty 可真行，加入了这么多课外社团。
Professor, 美国大学中都有那些社团呢？
Professor: Some clubs are academic. Students study together for tests or discuss current events. Some clubs are just for fun. They do things like yoga and hip hop dancing.瑜珈社和街舞社，听起来真不错！不知道Eric加入了什么社团没有！
Eric: I'm only in a hip hop dancing club. It's really fun.
Patty: A dancing club? I love hip hop music, and I love dancing.
Eric: You should join. It's not full, and there are plenty of spaces left.
Patty: I think I will. It would be fun to do a club together.
Eric只参加了街舞社？他这个人，课只选了三门，每周只上四天课，连跟学习有关的课外社团也不参加。唉，他过得也太轻松了吧！
Professor: Well, Eric may be busy for other reasons. Tune in next time and we'll learn more about student life.

关于校园的英语对话1Tom: "Hi mom, how are you?"
Tom's mom: "I am fine. How was school?"

Tom's mom: "Did you do any sports?"
Tom: "Oh yes, I played lots of football and basketball. You know what, we will have a brand new swimming pool next term, isn't that great?"
Tom's mom: "Wow, that sounds fantastic! Any other interesting news?"
Tom: "Let me think.oh yes, we had a new classmate, she is from Shanghai, China. She doesn't speak much English and I had to gesture to her most of the time. This is kind of fun."

Tom; "Yes, school has been fabulous, mom."
