Why does the student talk to his adviser?Questions 1 through 3. Listen to a conversation between a student and his adviser. M: Could I talk to you about registration? W: Sure. What can I do for you? M: I’m, um, I’d like to take oceanography, but I don’t have the prerequisite that’s listed in the catalog, you know, Math 150. W: Oh, I see. Well, if you took oceanography, you’d need that mathematics course first. There would be some physics and chemistry, so you’d need a solid grasp of numerical data. M: That’s what I wanted to talk to you about. I thought, if I took the math course at the same time as oceanography, then I could graduate at the end of the year. W: Sorry, but you need to have the math course first. Unless you have a good foundation in math, you’ll find oceanography very difficult. M: I’ve taken three math classes already. Isn’t that enough? W: I’m afraid not. The Oceanography Department specifically requires Math 150. M: I wish I could convince someone! I know I could do both courses! Would it help if I talked to the professor? W: You could try, but I wouldn’t get my hopes up if I were you. M: Oh, well, in that case, I’d better just take the math course and get it over with. W: Good idea. M: But as long as I’m here, can you tell me if oceanography is being taught in the summer? 1. Why does the student talk to his adviser? 2. What does the adviser mean when she says this: “Unless you have a good foundation in math, you’ll find oceanography very difficult.“ 3. Listen again to part of the conversation.

Boaters will see advance warning of a storm if they know what to look for in the clouds. If there is a high cloud formation with a dirty bottom and a tall, stringy top, a storm is on the way. In that case, it is important not to try and outrun the storm but to head for a protected area. If a boat does get caught in a storm, a bucket or any kind of drag should be attached to the anchor line. As long as the occupants sit or lie on the bottom of the boat, they should be safe.

M: You’re going to the internship fair on Wednesday afternoon, right? W: What? If I’d known about it, I wouldn’t have scheduled a make-up test in calculus. M: But you’ve got to go to the internship fair! There’ll be several people there to talk about engineering internships. W: Oh, if only I’d known.... M: Can’t you re-schedule your test? W: I wish I could, but it’s a make-up for the one I missed last week when I was sick. Dr. Williams gives us just a week to make up a test. M: But if you went to the fair, you’d have a good chance of getting an internship for the summer. W: I know, I know. If only I didn’t have this test.... M: But if you just explained to your professor... She’d probably want you to go. I’m sure she’d make an exception. At least you should try. W: Well, as long as you’re going to the fair, would you take notes for me? I mean, let me know about anything in civil engineering, and pick up any handouts? M: Sure, I could do that. But it would be better if you were there in person, in case you wanted to ask questions. W: I know, but I could still use your help. The students discuss possible solutions to a problem that the woman has. Describe the problem. Then state what you think the woman should do, and explain why.
