Speaking Question 5

Listen to a conversation between two students.

(woman) Hey, Frank, how’s it going?

(man) Well, I just found out my roommate Jim is moving out of our off campus apartment into a bigger place with a whole bunch of friends next semester.

(woman) Oh, really?

(man) Yeah,

(woman) Does this mean you’ll be living by yourself next semester?

(man) Yeah, but that’s OK cause I really want to live alone next semester anyway. I have to concentrate on my senior project for the history department. I have a lot to write and I don’t want any distractions. The only major problem, though, is how I’ll be getting to campus.

(woman) Oh, yeah?

(man) See, the apartment’s a little far from campus and Jim has a car and he gives me rides to and from campus everyday. But I can’t afford a car now.

(woman) So have you thought about taking public transportation, uh, the bus to campus?

(man) Yeah, I have. The thing is that there’s no bus going directly to campus from that part of town. I’d have to change buses a couple of times on the way.

(woman) I see. That could take a lot of time.

(man) Right!

(woman) Hmm, well, maybe you should move back into a dormitory on campus. Request a single room. There’s lots of them.

(man) Yeah, I thought about that. You know, I could live alone and get my work done but, I don’t know, I would miss my apartment.

(woman) I know, but you’ve got to make some choice.
