1

A: So what do you think of the class so far?

B: I like it. What about you?

A: I love looking at the slides. And I really enjoy the discussion group.

B: But we sure have to do a lot of reading!

A: That’s true. but it isn’t as much as for English.

B: Right, but aren’t these art books heavy?

A: Yeah. I guess that’s what happens when you’re studying the entire history of art since the beginning of time!

2

A: Oh, I didn’t know you were taking this class, too.

B: Yes. I think it’s going to be interesting.

A: Yes, I think it’ll be more interesting than the biology class we took last semester.

B: Yes. there was an awful lot of reading for that class, wasn’t there? There isn’t as much in this class. And I really enjoy doing the experiments! The equipment in the lab is state-of-the-art, too.

A: Do you think you’ll be a chemistry major?

B: Maybe.

A: What’s the matter?

B: Oh, I just got my essay back. She wrote so many comments on it!

It’s going to take hours to write a second draft.

A: Do you think she was unfair?

B: No. not at all. In fact. I really like her.

A: Yeah. Ms. Downs is great. She and the art history teacher are the best teachers I’ve ever had here.

B: I agree. I think my writing is really going to improve in this class.

A: Me, too.

A: Uh. oh. It looks like we got here too late. The computer lab is closed.

B: Oh, no, and I’m working on a very complicated web program …

A: Yeah, we have a lot of homework for that class, don’t we?

B: Yeah, it’s tough, but I love programming! Don’t you?

A: No. it’s hard for me.

This isn’t my favorite class. I prefer sciences like biology or chemistry.

B: Well, let me know if you need any help with your programs.

A: Thanks. That’s really nice.

5

A: What do you think of Professor Green?

B: He’s so boring. I’m not crazy about this class. What about you?

A: Yes, Professor Green is a little boring, but the subject is so interesting! I love learning about the past.

I’m particularly interested in the 20th century.

B: There’s a lot of reading, though, isn’t there?

A: True, and the books are so heavy!

B: They’re not as heavy as those art books, though.

A: No, you’re right about that!

6

A: Do you think this class is going to be easy or hard?

B: I think it’s going ro be okay. I don’t think it’ll be too hard. It’s certainly not as hard as chemistry. Not yet, anyway.

A: Yeah, I guess because it’s just an introductory course.

B: Right.

It says here we’re going to study the cell. basic genetics, and the human body.

A: Do we meet in a lab?

B: No, not for this class. We meet in a regular classroom.
