Track 17

Track 17.

Oliver, we need to discuss about how to start our project.

Remember that our teacher wants us to write the report on two things.

One, how many students in college already speak more than one language…

Yes, and two, what level their English is.

It’s a big project so I think we’re going to have to speak to a lot of people.

Yes, I know!

Do you really think it’ll be possible to speak to everyone?

I’m not sure.

There are over two hundred students in total.

I know, but I guess only half of them speak just a single language.

That’s still a lot.

I don’t think we have enough time to go around and have a chat with the whole college.

How are we going to show the results?

I think it’ll be a problem if we only include numbers.

We need more than that.

Yes, I agree.

Maybe including some graphs or tables is a good idea.

Let me think.

First, we need to find out how many students we have here in the college in total.

Then we can work out how many of them speak two or more languages.

Can I make a suggestion?

I think we can ask for that information from the college office first.

I remember that, on my first day here, I put information about my second language on the registration form.

So, I think it’s the same for everyone.

That’s a good idea.

That’ll save us some time.

I’ll make an appointment to go and speak to somebody there after class.

Who do I need to see?

Is it Miss Wainwright?

No, she works in the student services room.

You need to see Miss Smith.

She’s in the college office.

Can you remind me where that is?

Is it next door to the IT services offices where Mr Black works?

No, Mr Black is in the student administration office so you need to go to the floor above.

Oh, OK. I know where that is now.

Great.

OK, I’m going to have lunch.

Do you want to join me?

No, sorry, I can’t.

I need to study for my mathes test.

Enjoy your lunch. I’m going to study in the library.

Bye!
