6、est. Hey, where are you from? Poland. Have you had this teacher before? Ive heard he is really good. Hes good if youre a hard-worker. He expects a lot. Oh, I guess thats good. I hope I can keep up with everyone else in the class. Maybe I need your help after class. Youre welcome.Professor: All right
7、. See you guys next week.Student: See you. Harrison, wait up! So what do you think about the professors lecture? I think half of what he said went over my head. Thats all right. A lot of what he said is explained in the reading. Hey, would you mind if I borrowed your notes tonight to look them over?
8、 No problem. We dont have class until Wednesday. Here you go. Thanks. I just want to make sure Im prepared for the seminar. Yeah, participation in the discussion is an important part of the education here.Seeing that Jenny has bought the books for the biology class, Harrison says nobody does much on
9、 the first day because its still add-drop, which means students are changing from class to class. Jenny knows the professor is really good. But Harrison warns her that the professor is good, only if students are hard-workers, for he expects a lot. After class, Jenny admits that half of what the prof
10、essor said went over her head, and Harrison assures her that a lot of what the professor said is explained in the reading.When Jenny asks to borrow Harrison notes, he says “on problem”, for they dont have class until Wednesday.

11、 an important part of the education there.P5 Task 2 How to select elective courses?To begin with, you should select the courses that fit your profession. It is a good idea to choose elective courses closely related to your chosen profession. Potential employers will appreciate every bit of extra tra
12、ining and knowledge that they dont have to give you. For example, you may select elective courses in chemistry, biology or even physics if you are doing a science major. For business majors, select electives in accounting, business administration, and even computing, as youll never know when these w
13、ill come in handy in the corporate world. Moreover, you can choose an education that includes many fields of study. If you are taking a heavy load of career-related courses, you may prefer electives that are not directly related to your major. If you receive a well-rounded education, some employers
14、believe that you have better potential. For example, if you have courses in science along with your business degree, you could possibly win a job over someone who majored purely in business with no outside electives. Finally, you can also select a challenging elective course. Part of getting an educ
15、ation is learning how to learn, and elective courses should help you achieve this goal. You need not to memorize all the information from each class, but you should get a better understanding of the world. So, pick elective courses that challenge your belief system and make you look at the world in
16、a different way. For instance, you can consider a philosophy elective if you have been told that you are a little narrow-minded. P6 Task3: How to Get Straight AsIt is interesting to note how straight A students achieve academic excellence. Here, according to education experts and students themselves
17、, are the secrets of super-achievers.First, they know how to set priorities. Top students allow no intrusions on study time. Once the books are open or the computer is turned on, phone calls go unanswered, TV shows unwatched, snacks ignored. Study is business, and business comes before recreation.Al
18、so, good students can study anywhere and everywhere. Claudia Hill, an Arizona State University business professor recalls a cross-country runner who worked out every day. Hill persuaded him to use his spare time to memorize biology term. Then he posted a list of biology terms on the mirror in the ba
19、throom. He learned a few terms every day while brushing his teeth. Eventually, he scored high on the final examination.Moreover, top students schedule their time well. Study times are strictly a matter of personal preference. Some work late at night when the house is quiet. Others awake early. Still
20、 others study as soon as they come home from school when the work is fresh in their minds. All agreed, however, on the need for consistency. A student says, “Whatever I was doing, I maintained a certain period of time every day for studying.”Another important characteristic of super-achievers is tha
21、t they know how to read, According to a book entitled Getting Straight As, the secret of good reading is to be “an active reader-one who continually asks questions that lead to a full understanding of the authors message”.1.

Youre going to have to hit the books if you want to keep your grades up. Tell me about it! I already have two reports, two books
24、 reports, a composition, an oral report, and a research projectall due before midterms. We could work together. Maybe some of my organized study habit would rub off on you. Better yet, maybe you could do my homework for me. Forget it! That would be cheating. All right, all right. I have yet to write
25、 a term paper. Can you recommend any articles and books? Youd better find me the exact pages where I can find what I want. You could borrow ideas from references, but if you quote without giving the sources, youre plagiarizing. The quiz next week will be a headache. If you dont help me, Ill have to
26、prepare some study sheets and hide them in my hand when I take the test. Oh, no! If youre caught, the professor will definitely give you an F. Probably, you will have to repeat the year.
