ДИАЛОГ:
James: It’s stressful to think about how difficult university will be, don’t you think, Dana?
Dana: Yes, but I try to focus on how much fun it will be, James — you know, to have the freedom to do what you want. My parents aren’t strict, but I have to explain myself every time I want to do something. It’ll be nice to escape that!
James: Yes, but I’m talking about the studies. My brother’s at university, and although he tends to be a bit dramatic, he says the exams are tough. You have to study much harder than at school.
Dana: Hmm. Well, I wouldn’t think about that too much. When the time comes, you’ll do what’s right, even if it means staying up all night to do it.
James: And what if that’s not enough? I’ve got good marks at school, but there were some subjects that troubled me. Like maths, for example. I had to study twice as hard for those exams as for the others.
Dana: Well, you can choose a university course that doesn’t include maths! You’re not going to university to become a maths professor, are you? Have you decided on a course yet?
James: I’m thinking of doing English lit. I’ve done pretty well in my English lessons, and I have a knack for writing. I’ve got a lot of short stories written, and one day, I hope to write a novel.
Dana: That’s fantastic. You don’t need to worry about maths then. You might be able to include some psychology or philosophy on your course, but you’ll probably enjoy those. You can always hire a private tutor if any courses trouble you.
James: That’s a good idea. I suppose we all have to put in some extra studying for the courses that we find difficult.
Dana: I’m the opposite to you in terms of strengths and weaknesses. I’m not so good at English literature. I love to read a good book now and again, but I just read them for entertainment. I could never analyse them.
James: Well, were’re all different! I’ll be looking forward to taking some English literature courses. Hopefully the more difficult topics wont be too bad.
Dana: Yes, and don’t listen to everything your brother tells you!
