Unit 2
Conversation 1
Kate: Oh, this looks nice.
Mark: Cool.
Waitress: Good afternoon, table for three? Come this way.
Mark: Let's have a look at the menu.
Mark: Thank you.
Janet: Thank you.
Waitress: The specials are on the board.
Kate: So, what sorts of food do you like, Janet? Janet: Well, I like spicy food. And I'm not very fond of raw food! What would you recommend?
Mark: Why don't you try the chicken curry? That's nice and spicy.
Janet: What's in it?
Mark: Chicken cooked in tomatoes and onions with Indian spices.
Janet: I'll try it. Do we all choose a selection of dishes to share or only one dish per person? Mark: Usually one dish per person.
Kate: Or the moussaka looks good.
Janet: What's it made with?
Kate: It's made with lamb and eggplant. It's a Greek dish.
Janet: How is it cooked?
Kate: It's baked in the oven.
Janet: Mm, that sounds good too.
Kate: And as a starter?
Janet: What's minestrone soup?
Mark: It's an Italian soup with vegetables and pasta. It's delicious!
Janet: OK, I'll have that.
Kate: Waitress?
Waitress: What can I get for you?
Kate: Well, for the starter, can we have two minestrone soups, and for the main course, one moussaka and one curry, please. What about you, Mark?
Mark: I'll have the prawns with garlic and the chilli con carne. And could you bring us some water, please?
Waitress: OK.
Mark: Thank you.
Waitress: Thanks.
Janet: What's chilli con carne?
Mark: It's a spicy Mexican dish with beef and beans.
It's very hot!
Conversation 2
Janet: That was great! Except I don't like cold water.
I usually drink hot water.
Kate: Hot water? We never drink hot water except with tea. Let's have a dessert. What would you like, Janet?
Janet: Any suggestions?
Kate: Well, why don't you try the apple strudel? It's an Austrian dish. It's made with apple, pastry and spices.
Janet: No, I'm not so keen on pastry. ...
What's a chocolate brownie?
Mark: It's a kind of chocolate cake.
Janet: How is it made?
Kate: It's made with flour, eggs and butter... Mark: And lots of chocolate!
Kate: You'll love it.
Janet: What kind of ice cream is there?
Kate: I'll ask ... Excuse me ... What flavor ice cream do you have?
Waitress: Strawberry, vanilla and chocolate. Janet: I'll just have a fruit salad, I think.
Mark: And Kate, what are you going to have? Kate: Same for me.
Mark: Could you bring us two fruit salads, and a chocolate brownie?
Waitress: Sure.
Unit 3
Conversation 1
Mark: Hi, what're you doing?
Janet: Oh, nothing much ... Well, I'm just doing this quiz here in the newspaper.
Mark: Let's have a look then.
Janet: Here. It's called, "How much do you know about memory?" I've just done it. Do you want to have a go?
Mark: OK, might as well. I'm not busy.
Janet: Right. Look, I'll read the statements. Then you have to answer "true" or "false". Ready?
Mark: Yea.
Janet: OK. Physical exercise improves your memory. True or false?
Mark: True, I suppose. It sounds like the right answer.
Janet: You're right; exercise does improve your memory. Next statement: 30 per cent of people have a visual memory.
Mark: That sounds about right. True?
Janet: No, wrong, I'm afraid. In fact, 60 per cent of people have a visual memory.
Mark: Really? Actually, I've got a pretty good memory.
Janet: Have you? OK ... Next one ... When you're tired, it's more difficult to remember things.
Mark: That's true, obviously. I can't remember a
thing when I'm tired.
Janet: Correct! If you do one activity for a long time, your memory will improve.
Mark: I'm not sure ... True?
Janet: Actually, it's false.
Mark: Oh!
Janet: Eating fruit and vegetables can improve your memory.
Mark: I read something in The Times about that. True.
Janet: True, it says here.
Mark: Oh, no! I've got a lecture. I'd forgotten. I'd better get going!
Janet: Oh, Mark! What a good memory you have!
Conversation 2
Kate: You're looking a bit down, Janet. What's up? Janet: Well ... I'm finding studying at Oxford quite hard.
Kate: You're telling me! There's so much work! Janet: It's not the amount of work, but everything's so different. In China, generally we have large classes, we don't have tutorials. And mostly, our teacher tells us what we should do. So I'm not used to asking questions or discussing things. I find it difficult. Kate: You have to memorize a lot, don't you? Janet: Yes, but I'm good at that.
Kate: You're lucky. There's so much to remember studying law! I have difficulty sometimes, I really do.
Janet: Yes, well, we've been trained to do that. But we don't have so much training in critical thinking. Kate: What do you mean by critical thinking? Janet: Let me think ... I think it's giving your opinion and then justifying it.
Kate: Yes, I suppose that's what our teachers have always encouraged us to do.
Janet: I am getting better at it, I suppose.
Kate: Hey! How about this? Let's pretend I'm your tutor. I'll make a statement. Your task is to examine it and then ask questions.
Janet: OK.
Kate: Everyone is capable of learning a second language. Go on, ask a question!
Janet: Why do you say that?
Kate: That's what the research tells us. Now ask another one.
Janet: Can you give an example of some research? Kate: Um ... No! Look, I'm starving and I can't think at all when I'm hungry.
Unit 4
Conversation 1
Kate: Oh, I must make a quick call. ...
Jacky: Hello, Jacky Gordon speaking.
Kate: Hello, can I speak to Abbie, please?
Jacky: I'll see if she's in, can you hold on?
Kate: Sure. ...
Jacky: Hello? She's out, I'm afraid. Can I give her a
message — er ... or I can ask her to call you back? Kate: Could you ask her to call me back?
Jacky: Sure. Who's calling?
Kate: Kate Santos.
Jacky: Kate Santos, OK. Does Abbie have your number?
Kate: Yes, she does.
Jacky: I'll tell her you called.
Kate: Thanks.
Janet: Abbie? I know a girl called Abbie. She reads English, doesn't she?
Kate: Yes, how do you know her?
Janet: She has a tutorial just after me so we chat a bit. We get on really well.
Kate: Yes, everyone likes Abbie. I think it's because she's really interested in people — she's a very good listener. She should be, she works for Nightline. Janet: Nightline?
Kate: Oh, I haven't told you, I've joined it.
Janet: What is it? I've never heard of it.
Kate: Look, I've got a leaflet about it.
Janet: So...
Kate: It's a university helpline for students who are having problems. I'm training to be one of the people they can call to talk to.
Janet: You mean, you're a volunteer?
Kate: Yes.
Janet: Oh, that's great, Kate
Conversation 2
Abbie: Hi, Abbie speaking.
Kate: Hi, Abbie, it's Kate Santos.
Abbie: Hi! I'm sorry not to have called you back. I've got a lot on at the moment. How's things?
Kate: Fine. I just wanted to let you know I won't be able to come to the next training session.
Abbie: Um ... It's quite an important session. Oh, can you hold on a moment. There's someone at the door. ...
Abbie: Hi, I'm sorry, look, can I call you back later? Kate: Sure. What time?
Abbie: Is three o'clock OK?
Kate: Three's fine.
Abbie: OK, I'll call you then. Speak soon.
Kate: Bye.
Abbie: Bye.
...
Kate: Abbie's my Nightline trainer.
Janet: You're saying she's your Nightline trainer! But she's still a student.
Kate: Well, experienced students train new students, that's the way it works.
Janet: Oh, I see.
Kate: It's great! At the moment, she's training us in listening skills.
Janet: Listening skills? What do you mean, listening skills?
Kate: Um ... The ability to really listen to someone
and make them feel you're listening. It's very important.
Janet: I've never thought about that before. Kate: Yes, for example, one thing you can do is listen carefully and then repeat what someone says but maybe a little differently.
Janet: So what you're saying is, repeat what someone says but maybe not the exact same words. Kate: Yes. You see, when you do that, you check you've understood and you show them you're really listening.
Janet: So they know you've really heard them. Kate: Very good, Janet. I can see you've got it already! Hi ... how's it going?
Unit 5
Conversation 1
Kate: Hi, Becky, how's it going?
Becky: Good!
Mark: Guys, look, can you help me with a problem? Janet: Yes, of course.
Mark: The thing is, there's this girl I really like called Jenny Sparks. She's a Fresher, really stunning, reads history. I know her name because someone pointed her out to me, but I've never actually spoken to her. Do either of you know her?
Kate: No.
Janet: No, I don't know her. Mark, how can you like her if you haven't met her?
Kate: It's because she's absolutely gorgeous, Janet. Mark: That's right! I want to ask her out, but first I've got to meet her. Got any suggestions?
Becky: Guys! You want to order?
Mark: Sorry.
Kate: Three cappuccinos?
Becky: Sure.
Janet: Do you know anyone who knows her? You could ask them to introduce you.
Mark: No, I don't, that's the problem.
Kate: Are you matchmaking, Janet?
Janet: What's matchmaking?
Kate: Making introductions between people who might like each other. We don't do that here. How about just walking up to her and saying Hi? Why don't you do that?
Mark: No.
Kate: Why not?
Mark: I'm not usually shy, but —she's so ... you know ...!
Janet: Oh, Mark!
Kate: Just believe in yourself, Mark. You're a great guy!
Janet: I understand Mark completely.
Kate: Well, it's the only way he's going to get to talk to her.
Mark: OK, I'll give it a try.
Becky: Solved the Jenny problem yet?
Girls: Thank you.
Janet: You'll be fine. Mark. She'll like him, won't she, Becky?
Becky: Of course she will!
Conversation 2
Mark: Hey, guess what, guys, I've got a date with Jenny.
Kate: You did it, you asked her out?
Janet: When are you seeing her?
Mark: Saturday. We're going to The Eagle and Child. Janet: Sounds great.
Mark: Yeah! The thing is, I'm a bit nervous. Janet: Are you?
Mark: Yes, I'm afraid I'll make a fool of myself. I could do with some more advice.
Kate: Any ideas?
Janet: Um ... I'm thinking.
Kate: Well ... One thing is ... if you're nervous, it's easy to talk too much, so remember not to do that. Mark: Good point. I'll remember that.
Janet: You should make her feel special. Show her you're really interested in her.
Mark: I am really interested in her.
Janet: Well, you should show her you are.
Mark: That'll be easy! What else?
Kate: It's a good idea to look good.
Mark: That's pretty obvious!
Kate: I mean clean clothes, Mark!
Mark: Oh ... thanks, Kate! Any more advice?
Kate: Yes, the most important thing is, just be yourself.
Becky: How's it going, Mark?
Kate: He's worried this girl won't like him.
Becky: She'll love you! Ready to order?
Unit 6
Conversation 1
Janet: So, are you looking for anything in particular?
Mark: Maybe a T-shirt or a polo shirt.
Janet: We could go into the covered market and have a look at the shops in there.
Kate: And what about you?
Janet: I need some cosmetics from the Body Shop on Corn market Street.
Kate: And I'm looking for something to wear to Jenny's party tonight. But nothing too expensive. Anyway, look, let's go in here.
Assistant: Can I help you?
Kate: We're just looking.
Mark: What do you think of this one?
Kate: Hmm, it's OK, but I'm not sure green suits you. Do they have it in other colors?
Janet: What size do you take?
Mark: Medium, I guess. Oh, here's a nice polo shirt.
I like the color. It's a bit small,
though.
Janet: Do they have it in a larger size?
Mark: Yes, here we go. That's great.
Janet: How much is it?
Mark: Twelve pounds. That's not too bad. I'll buy it. Mark: I'll have this, please.
Assistant: That'll be 12 pounds please. ... Thank you. ... And here's your shirt, and here's your receipt. Mark: Thanks.
Mark: Look, I've really got to go. I'll see you at the party tonight.
Kate: OK.
Janet: Bye.
Conversation 2
Janet: OK, Kate. Now it is time to find something for you. What about this dress?
Kate: Hey, that's lovely.
Janet: Would you like to try it on?
Kate: Yes, OK. Where are the changing rooms? Assistant: Just behind you.
Kate: Thank you. ... What do you think?
Janet: Well, it really suits you, but ...
Kate: ... it's a bit big. Excuse me, do you have this in a smaller size?
Assistant: What size do you take?
Kate: Size 8, I think.
Assistant: No, I'm afraid we don't. That's the last one.
Kate: No, it doesn't really fit. OK, I'll leave it. Janet: Actually, I really like it.
Kate: Why don't you try it on, then?
Janet: OK. ... What do you think?
Kate: Perfect. It really suits you.
Janet: It's a bit expensive.
Kate: Go on! You deserve it!
Janet: OK, I'll have it. But I don't have enough cash. ... Can I pay by credit card?
Assistant: Sure.
Janet: Thank you.
Assistant: Please enter your PIN. ... And here's your receipt.
Janet: Thank you.
Assistant: Thanks a lot.
Kate: That was painless, wasn't it? But I still don't have a dress for the party. Let's try somewhere else. Assistant: Bye.
Girls: Bye.
Unit 7
Conversation 1
Janet: What time are your parents arriving? Kate: Eleven. Oh no, it's 10.30! I must clean up my room, it's a mess.
Janet: Would you like me to give you a hand? Kate: Oh, yes, that would be great! ...
Janet: So, what are they like, your parents? Kate: They're great. They're very different. Mum's pretty sociable —she's real funny. Dad isn't as sociable — he's kind of quiet — he reads a lot and he
likes spending time alone. He's a lot more chilled than Mum.
Janet: They do sound quite different.
Kate: Yes. Mum — she tends to worry a lot, whereas Dad's quite ... easygoing. He's good at listening, you can tell him anything. Um ... could you put those over there?
Janet: Sure. So who are you most like?
Kate: You tell me!
Janet: Hmm, you've got a bit of both of them, I think.
Kate: Yes, I think so, too. I'm sociable, like Mum —Janet: You're very sociable!
Kate: Yes, but I like to spend time alone.
Janet: I don't think you worry a lot, do you? Kate: No, I'm like Dad in that way.
Kate: Oh, look at the time, I must go. I'm meeting them outside the Lodge.
Conversation 2
Julia: This is great. It's just like I pictured it. Look at that, isn't it beautiful?
Rob: Wow, Kate, honey! I love your school!
Kate: No, Dad, I'm not at Law School, I'm at university!
Rob: OK, honey. It's Oxford, England — I know! ... Rob: Listen, honey, Granddad had a fall just before we left.
Kate: Oh, no!
Rob: It's OK. He broke his arm but they don't think it's serious.
Julia: I don't know, when old people break something, it can be very serious.
Rob: I think he'll be fine!
Kate: Tell me all about it. What exactly happened? Rob: He fell down the steps in the backyard. Kate: Oh, poor Granddad! So go on!
Rob: He was taken to the hospital by ambulance ... they kept him there for several hours, didn't they, Julia? But they let him go home.
Julia: I feel awful that we can't be with him.
Rob: Julia, I spoke to Granddad as soon as we landed and he said the doctors aren't worried. Kate: What else did he say?
Rob: He said his arm doesn't hurt him.
Kate: Oh, good! So he'll be OK, right? There's no real concern?
Rob: No, I told you, honey, there's no need to worry. ... Just look at that! What a great place! Kate: Yes, isn't it wonderful?
Rob: Come on, let's go and eat. Isn't there a pub nearby? I seem to remember passing one. I'd love to eat in an English pub.
Kate: OK, let's do that.
Rob: There's no need to worry, honey.
Unit 8
Conversation 1
Assistant: Hi, how can I help you?
Mark: I'd like to book a flight and make a hotel reservation.
Assistant: Going to ...?
Mark: To New York, please.
Assistant: Is that a one-way or a return?
Mark: A return, please. Out on the 17th of June and coming back on the 10th of September. Assistant: OK, and I guess you want economy not club?
Mark: Yes, economy, please. Could I have an aisle seat, not a window seat?
Assistant: I'm afraid you'll have to do that at the airport. What about accommodation?
Mark: Well, most of the time I'm working in upstate New York, but I need a cheap hotel in New York City and one in Boston for a few nights.
Assistant: How many nights will you be staying? Mark: Three nights in Boston and two nights in New York. The 12th to the 15th of August in Boston, leaving on the 15th, so three nights in Boston. Then the 15th to the 17th in New York, leaving on the 17th. So two nights in New York.
Assistant: OK, I can check that out for you. Single or double room?
Mark: Single. With a shower, please.
Assistant: I can get you rooms in budget hotels and motels for around 75 dollars a night.
Mark: Does the price include breakfast?
Assistant: Let me see. Yes, I can do that for you. Mark: What time is check-out?
Assistant: Usually midday ... Do you have a student card? You'll need it for the cheap flights and the accommodation. Oh, and any travelling within the US? We can get you seats on Greyhound buses, if you want.
Mark: Actually, that would be great. Can you get me a seat from New York to Boston, travelling on the 12th of August? And then one from New York to Chicago on the 17th? After Chicago I'm going to DC and then back to New York, but I'll get those tickets when I'm in the States.
Assistant: No problem, just give me a few minutes ...
Conversation 2
Kate: Have you made plans for the summer vacation yet?
Mark: Yes, I'm travelling around the States for three months.
Janet: Three months! Wow, you're lucky! Whereabouts are you going?
Mark: Well, I'm flying to New York City, and then I'm working for eight weeks as a counsellor on a summer camp in upstate New York. And then I'm travelling around for about four weeks, back in time for the start of term.
Kate: Where are you staying?
Mark: On the campsite in the mountains. It's about

Unit 1-Conversation 1**（1）Janet: So this is the Cherwell Boathouse — it's lovely! And look at those people punting! It looks quite easy. Mark: I'm not so sure about that! Janet, there's something Kate and I wanted to discuss with you. Some people in college are organizing charity events this term. We've decided to get involved. Janet: Raising money for charity Right. In China, people raise money for charity but students don't usually do that. Mark: Students often do that here. Anyway, we're thinking of doing sponsored punting. Janet: Sponsored punting! What's that Kate: Sponsoring is when people pay you to do something — like run a long distance. So people would be sponsoring students to punt. Janet: What a great idea! I'd love to join you! Mark: That's why we're telling you about it. So that's decided then. Let's make a list of things we need to do. Kate: I'll do that. One of the first things we should do is choose the charity. Mark: Yes. And choose a day for the event. And we need to design the sponsorship form. I've got one here. Kate: That looks fine, but we must change the wording. Who wants to do that Mark: I'll do that. What have we got so far Kate: Choose a charity. Also a day for the event. Change the wording on the sponsorship form... Um ...
Unit 4-Conversation 1 Kate: So, what did you think of the movie? Mark: It was good but I thought it was too long. Kate: Yes, me too. Kate: Hey, where's my bike? I don't believe it! It's gone! Mark: It was next to mine, you chained it up! Kate: Someone's stolen it! Oh, how could they! Mark: Oh, Kate! Kate: How could someone have done this! The creep! Mark: It's a really mean thing to do, steal a bike. Kate: It was a mountain bike and it cost a fortune —I don't have the money to buy another one. Mark: Listen, I'll go down the street and see if I can see anyone with it. Why don't you go into that shop and see if they've seen anything suspicious? I'll be back in a minute. Kate: OK. Kate: Well? Ma rk: No luck. What did they say in the shop? Kate: I asked the shopkeeper if she'd seen anything — Mark: And? Kate: She said she hadn't. I guess it was a long shot. She advised me to report it to the police. But according to her, bikes get stolen all the time around here.
新视野大学英语视听说教程1听力原文 Unit 1 How's your college life? Lead-in Grammatically, English is not too hard to learn, but learning to speak it fluently is a different story! I think vocabulary is probably the most difficult. There are so many words and phrases for us to learn. I find it takes time and energy to learn it well even though I know "No pains, no gains." Listening Skills 听力原文1: Doris: Good morning. Can I help you? David: Yes. I need to change one of my courses. Doris: I'll see what we can do. What's your name, please? David: My name's David Brown.

Unit 6-Conversation 1 Janet: What are you reading, Kate Kate:Alice in Wonderland, by Lewis Carroll. Do you know it Janet: I've heard of it, yes, but I've never read it. It's a 19th century children's story, isn't it K a te: That's right. It's very famous. It's set in Oxford. It starts with this young girl sitting on a river bank. The interesting thing is, the author, Lewis Carroll, he was an Oxford professor and he used to have tea with the girl's family on this river bank. Ja net: Oh, that's fascinating! I'll put it into my diary. Kate: Is that what you're writing I know you've been keeping a diary all the year. Janet: It's been a great year. I've had such a good time — so lucky to have Mark and Kate as friends. Feel I've been doing well with work. Much happier about asking questions in tutorials. Janet: My screen's gone dark. Mark: You're using the battery, remember. It's run out, obviously. Janet: It can't be the battery. It's still charged. Oh no it's still black. Oh dear, I hope it's nothing serious. I haven't backed anything up recently. Kate: That's not like you, Janet. Janet:I know, but I lost my memory stick. I really should have backed things up. How stupid of me not to do that! Supposing I've lost everything! Mark: Let me take a look. The power is still on. And also the operating system still seems to be working ... I think it has to be the graphics card ... But maybe that's not the problem ... Janet: If only I'd backed things up! Kate: Relax, Janet! We'll take it to the computer shop this afternoon. I'm sure it'll be OK. Janet: I hope so. Unit 6-Conversation 2 Janet: Tell me about Alice in Wonderland. Kate: I tell you what, I'll read it to you. Kate: Alice was beginning to get very tired of sitting by her sister on the bank and having nothing to do: Once or twice, she had peeped into the book her sister was reading, but it had no pictures or conversations in it, "and what is the use of a book," thought Alice, "without pictures or conversation" So she was considering in her own mind (as well as she could, for the hot day made her feel very sleepy and stupid) ... Janet: Kate, Mark, where are you going You've got my laptop! Kate: It's all right, Janet, we're taking it to the computer shop. We'll be back soon. Mark: It's not like Janet to forget to back up her work. Kate: She should have been more careful. Janet: It was stupid of me, I know! Stupid, stupid! Janet: Oh! It was a dream! What a relief! Kate: You were talking in your sleep. Janet: What was I saying Kate: "Stupid, stupid." M ark: I've sorted out your computer. Janet: Have you Oh, thank goodness! What was the problem Mark:It was the graphics card, as I predicted ... Janet: Is that what it was! I'm so relieved! Thanks, Mark. Kate: He's great, isn't he Janet: Yes. So are you, Kate. Kate: You're such a good friend. Unit 6-Outside view Computers are a very important part of our lives. They tell us about delays to transport. They drive trains, analyze evidence and control buildings. Did you know that 60 per cent of homes in Britain have got a PC (a personal computer) For many young people, playing computer games is their favorite way of spending spare time. Computers are a very important part of most areas of life in Britain-libraries, the police and in school. But they are becoming more important in our homes as well. They’ll even control the way we live-in “smart homes” or computer-controlled houses. The smart home is now a real possibility. It will become very common. A central computer will adjust the temperature, act as a burglar alarm and switch on lights, ready for you to come back home. And of course you will be able to give new instructions to the computer from your mobile phone. So if your plans change, your home will react to match. Many homes have got lots of televisions and several computers. The smart home will provide TV and Internet sockets in every room, so you’ll be able to do what you want whenever you want. If the temperature outside changes, the smart home will adjust the temperature levels inside. The computer will also close the blinds when it gets dark or to stop so much sun from entering a room. And if you want to eat when you get home, the computer will turn the oven on for you! Are computers taking over our lives In a survey, 44 per cent of young people between 11 and 16 said their PC was a trusted friend. Twenty per cent said they were happier at their computer than spending time with family or friends. Another survey found that people in Britain spend so much time on the phone, texting and reading emails that they no longer have time for conversation.

Adams is cofounder of the National Resources Defense Council, the NRDC, the nation’s first law firm for the environment. “Defending the environment,” John Adams says, “is personal.” “When you care about something, like the environment, it does become a passion,”he says. “It becomes your life. I grew up on a small-town farm in the Catskill Mountains of New York. It was a wonderful place to grow up. I loved it.”
Unit 1 Starting out Outside view Julie My name's Julie Dearden, and I'm the Director of International Programmes here at Hertford College. Eugene My name's Eugene Berger, I studied here in Oxford for four years er, studying modern languages at Somerville College. Julie Oh, there are many Oxford traditions. Oxford is a very old university, the oldest English-speaking university in the, in the world. And so there are many traditions which are associated with the colleges, with the times of the year, and with sport, and with eating, for example. Eugene Each college is very different um, from um, the others, and it has its own character. Some colleges are very conservative, and some are much more liberal and have a tradition of um, kind of liberal politics. But there are also some specific traditions. Julie Formal Hall is when we all eat together here in college, the professors and the students. Usually it takes places at seven o'clock in the evening, and the professors sit on high table which is the table over here, and the students sit on common table, which are the tables here. But everybody eats together. It's a very beautiful evening because there are, there's a special meal and we eat by candlelight. Eugene I think er, the traditions that make Oxford so unique are firstly the Oxford Union and er, secondly, May Day. The Oxford Union being a debating society where speakers come from all around the world to address the students and even allow themselves to be questioned by the students, making it a very interesting forum. Julie My favourite is er, May Day. And May Day is the first day of May, and we have a tradition called May Morning, and on May Morning everybody gets up very early and the students have a celebration. There is a choir which sings on top of the tower at Magdalen College and all the people of the town and all the students go to listen to the singing. So it's very nice. Eugene The tradition that er, was most important to me was probably Summer Eights. I was a rower. And Summer Eights is a rowing competition, held in May in the summer term. And in this competition, each college is trying to improve its place which it won the previous year and gradually work its way up the river. Julie When the students take exams, they must go to a special building and it's called Examination Schools. And also they must wear a special uniform, so they wear E.gown like mine, a black gown, and they wear a white shirt, arid the men wear a white tie and black trousers. The women wear a white shirt and a black skirt or black trousers. And they must wear this uniform, which has a Latin name - sub fuse — and they must wear this uniform in order to take their examinations. Eugene I think the Oxford traditions lend character to the place and it's such an old institution, it should have traditions, but they can be very inconvenient. For example, sub fuse. This is the uniform that we are required according to the university rules, to wear. Julie They also wear flowers in their buttonholes, and those flowers are carnations. And they wear different colours, the students wear different coloured flowers for different examinations. So when you take your first exam you wear a white flower, and when you take your second exam you wear a pink flower, and when you take your final examination you wear a red carnation. Eugene So we have to dress up in a full black suit, starched collar, white bow tie and carry a mortarboard. And to write an exam in the summer heat whilst wearing all that which you're not allowed to take off is um, uncomfortable. Julie I really like the Oxford traditions, I think it's part of our history, and part of um, being a student or a teacher here at Oxford University. Listening in Passage 1 Interviewer Can you tell me something about the Ivy League? You're a professor at Harvard, is that right?
