dialogue: Jane: It's going to be different from school, isn't it? Tim: Yeah, particularly the lecture. Have you got any special strategy for listening to lecture? Jane: Well, I'm going to use a cassette recorder and record them all. Tim: What! Are you allowed to? Jane: Sure. Lot of people do it nowadays, I mean you can listen to the lectures all over again later, and make really good notes. Tim: I couldn't do that. I like to take notes as I'm listening. I usually find I get all the important points. Reading is difficult of course. My approach is to skim the book first to see what's important and what isn't. It saves hours of time. Jane: But what if you miss something? Tim: You don't mean you're going to read every word, do you? Jane: Well, that is what I usually do. Tim: Well, that is up to you, but I think you are crazy! Jane: What is your first lecture on, anyway? Tim: Oh, it's a lecture on the French Revolution. Jane: The French Revolution! How boring! Tim: It's not boring at all! It was an amazing period of history. It changed everything in Europe. So what is your first lecture about? Jane: It's about animal behavior. It sounds really interesting. Tim: Look, I was on my way to the library. I'm going to get some of these books out and start reading for the first essay. Jane: And what have you got to write about? Tim: Well, you'll never believe it, I think our professor must have a sense of humor. He's given us the title "Why study history?" Jane: That's a good one. When you find the answer, let me know! Tim: I'm going to enjoy writing it. Have you been given any writing assignments yet? Jane: Yes, I've got to write about animal language. Tim: Hum! That sounds a challenge. I suppose you'll be off to the zoo to do field research.
