❖ While You Read
Three students talk about their first impressions of
university life. Read the passage and then đo the tasks that follow. (Ba sinh
viên nói về cảm nghĩ đầu tiên của họ về đời sống ở đại học. Đọc đoạn văn và sau
đó làm các bài tập kèm theo.)
Sarah
Ngày cuối tuần đầu tiên tôi đi chơi với những người bạn mới,
đi bộ quanh khuôn viên đại học. Thật thích thú, nghĩ về tôi học trường đại học
thế nào, gặp những người có thể là những người bạn tốt của tôi. Điều thú vị
nhất là tôi không phải giải thích cho cha mẹ tôi đi đâu, đi với ai và tôi phải
về nhà lúc mấy giờ!
Vào một tối Thứ Bảy, tôi theo một bạn cùng phòng dự một bữa
tiệc. Những người ở bữa tiệc bận chơi trò chơi, và dường như không ai để ý sự
hiện hữu của tôi. Bất chợt tôi cảm thấy cô đơn. Ngăn chặn những giọt nước mắt,
tôi chạy về phòng, nghĩ có lẽ tôi không bao giờ cảm thấy thoải mái ở trường đại
học.
Ellen
Bạn cùng phòng của tôi luôn để cửa sổ mở, ngay cả khi bên
ngoài 100C và đi ngủ lúc 10 giờ mỗi đêm. Khi chị ấy bị bệnh sau
những giữa học kì, chị ấy đổ lỗi cho việc tôi đánh máy và để đèn cháy trong khi
chị ấy cố gắng ngủ.
Đầu tiên, trường đại học làm cho tôi nản lòng đôi chút. Tôi
tốt nshiệp ở một trường nhỏ. Sau khi gặp đi gặp lại cùng những người đó nhiều
năm, tôi ngạc nhiên, nhưng hơi sợ, sống ở một nơi dường như tôi chưa bao giờ
thấy cùng một người hai lần.
Brenden
Năm đầu ở trường đại học có lẽ là năm đẹp nhất và thử thách
nhất trong đời tôi. Về việc học, tôi thật thích thú. Tham gia vào Dự án Kĩ
thuật Nâng cao cho tôi dịp sử dụng tính sáng tạo và kiến thức để giúp xã hội.
Về giao tiếp (xã hội), tôi kết nhiều bạn mới qua ngành kĩ thuật lẫn
việc sống ở khuôn viên trường Đại học Thánh Gioan. Lịch giao tiếp của các
trường đại học cung cấp nhiều cơ hội để gặp gỡ nhiều sinh viên không cùng ngành
kĩ thuật cũng như các kĩ sư khác, nhiều người trong họ đã trở thành những nsười
bạn thân của tôi.

❖ Tapescript
John : Now Christ, can I get this right. You've just completed
a MSc course on which a large proportion of the students were international
students. Is that right?
David: That's it. Yes, I was in AERD, that's the department of
Agricultural Extension and Rural Development.
John: And how do you think the students from other countries
got along on that course?
David: Pretty well.
John : What advice would you give students, particularly
international students, based on your experience as a student here?
David : I think the most basic thing is to make use, full use,
of the tutors and lecturers. Maybe some of the overseas students are a bit too
shy to take questions or problems to tutors.
John : What do you think they should do?
David : I think they should find out at the beginning of the
course the time at which the tutor is going to be available for tutorial
appointments and then make full use of them.
John: So, any problems, they should tell the tutor as soon as
possible? Let's move on, what about the amount of reading that you have to do
as a university student?
David : Yes. It looks pretty dauntine al first, with those
long reading lists. Don't think that the students have to read everything
that’s listed. Try to find out which are the most important items on the list -
ask the lecturer or tutor if necessary, and then, if your time is limited,
spending it reading those books thoroughly.
John: OK, that’s very helpful, David. Thank you very much.
David : No, Not at all.
❖ After You Listen
Work in pairs. Ask and answer the question. (Làm việc từng
đôi. Hỏi và trả lời câu hỏi)
“Would you prefer to do an undergraduate course abroad or in
your country?" Explain your choice. (Em thích học chương trình cử nhân ở
ngoại quốc hay ở trong nước hơn?" Giải thích sự chọn lựa của em.)
A. Where do you like lo do your undergraduate course,
abroad or in your country?
B. If you ask me, I prefer to do it abroad.
A. Why?
B. In the present situation, most of the universities in the
country are behind those in developed countries, such as the US, Australia,
Singapore. Germany, etc,...
A. Can you give me clearer explanations?
B. OK. For example, the teaching aids in the schools:
laboratories, equipment and specially libraries. Most of our laboratories are
lack of modern equipment. Next, the size of classes, the number of students in
each class is very large. I mean the classes are often very crowded. usually
over 60 or more. Don’t you realize the noticeable problem in our universities?
B. What’s that? Do you refer to the methods of teaching of
most of professors and lecturers?
A. That’s it. Most of them still use the old and obsolete way
of teaching: “Professors read and students listen and write down.” Rarely can a
student ask his / her professor a question. And this makes it worse, hardly
ever can a class discussion be seen in most of our universities.
B. What's wrong with it?
A. Oh! How can such a one-way method help students to develop
their creativity and even their independent work?
B. Sorry. I didn’t know any about it!
