2.Life on Campus

（1）Exam

John：Hi，Mike！How are you？

Mike：I'm fine. How are you？

John：I'm tired. I've been studying for hours.

Mike：Do you have an exam tomorrow？

John：Yes，I do. Have you had any exams yet？

Mike：No，not yet. I have three next week.

John：Wow！Good luck with your exams.

Mike：Good luck to you，too，John.

A：Well，do you think you passed the exam？

B：No，definitely not. I thought the paper was terrible. I haven't got a hope of getting through.

A：Are you sure？

B：Absolutely. Not a chance！

A：Oh，you're always saying that，but you manage to pass all the tests we have，don't you？

B：Yeah，but this time it's different for the simple reason that I didn't even finish the paper. I left out the last question completely.

A：Well，we'll see，huh？Don't give up hope just yet，OK？

（2）Registration

Desk attendant：May I help you？

Student：I need to file this application for graduation.

Desk attendant：（Looks at the form）Are you planning to graduate in December？

Student：No，I am going to graduate in May.

Desk attendant：Okay，I will file this with the registrar. If you want a different name on your diploma than what's on your records，you will have to fill out a green Name Change form.

Student：When is the deadline for turning in the green form？

Desk attendant：Be sure to file it 30 days prior to graduation.

Student：Okay，thank you very much for your help.

Desk attendant：You're welcome. Have a nice day.

（3）Graduation Plans

Graduate 1：So，what are you going to do after graduation，Susan？

Graduate 2：Well，I've saved some money，and I think I'd really like to travel.

Graduate 1：Lucky you. That sounds exciting！

Graduate 2：Yeah. Then I plan to get a job and my own apartment.

Graduate 1：Oh，you're not going to live at home？

Graduate 2：No，I don't want to live with my parents—not after I start to work.

Graduate 1：I know what you mean.

Graduate 2：What about you，Alex？Do you have any plans yet？

Graduate 1：I'm going to get a job and live at home. I'm broke，and I want to pay off my student loan！
