Speaking Question 5

Listen to a conversation between two students.

Man: Hey, Lisa, how are you? Any big plans for summer break?

Girl: Well, I thought I knew what my plans were… But now I’m not sure.

Man: How come?

Girl: Well, you know how we are required to take a foreign language course before we graduate.

Man: Yeah.

Girl: I want to take it this summer since I am graduating next year and I will have a busy course schedule, so I signed to take a Russian course online over the summer because I am hoping to take a trip to Russia at some point.

Man: Online? That’s cool. You wouldn’t have to stay around campus and you could do it for home.

Girl: Exactly. You do everything over the internet, but not enough people signed up for the class so they cancelled it. Now I don’t know what to do, l still need to fulfill the requirement.

Man: Wow, could you take a Russian class on campus this summer instead of the online course?

Girl: Yeah, there is a regular Russian class being offered on campus and it has space, so I could sign up and just stay in the dorms this summer and live on campus.

Man: OK.

Girl: I was looking forward to being home the summer, though, and spending some time with my family. My sister is coming back from China, she’s working there for a year and I haven’t seen her.

Man: Oh, that’s disappointing.

Girl: I checked though and I could take a different language course online.

There is one thing offered in Spanish.

Man: Great! So why don’t you just do that, you’d be able to spend time with your sister.

Girl: Yeah, but I am not that excited by taking Spanish. I thought it would be fun to learn Russian. It’s more interesting to me, though at least this way I could get the requirement out of the way. So, I don’t know…
