Listening InP4 Task1: On the First DayScriptHarrison: Im Harrison. Good to meet you. So youve bought the books for this biology class.Jenny: Sure, I think everyone had to before class started.Harrison: No. Usually no one does much on the first day because its still add-drop.Jenny: Whats that?Harrison: Changing from class to class to find out which one is best. Hey, where are you from?Jenny: Poland. Have you had this teacher before? Ive heard he is really good.Harrison: Hes good if youre a hard-worker. He expects a lot.Jenny: Oh, I guess thats good. I hope I can keep up with everyone else in the class. Maybe I need your help after class.Harrison: Youre welcome.Professor: All right. See you guys next week.Student: See you.Jenny: Harrison, wait up!Harrison: So what do you think about the professors lecture?Jenny: I think half of what he said went over my head.

We dont have class until Wednesday. Here you go.Jenny: Thanks. I just want to make sure Im prepared for the seminar.Harrison: 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 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 professor 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. Finally, Harrison says participation in the discussion at the seminar is an important part of the education there.P6 Task3: How to Get Straight AsScriptIt is interesting to note how straight A students achieve academic excellence. Here, according to education experts and students themselves, 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.Also, 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 bathroom. 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 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 doi
