Guess what came in the mail today ?   What ?   My acceptance letter to Yale !   Wow ! Congratulation ! When do classes start ?   Freshman orientation is the last week of august , but I want to go two weeks before that to get settled in .   You ’ re so lucky ! Do you have to do many things before you leave ?   Yes . I ’ ll be very busy ! I have to get a visa , buy a plane ticket , and pack my things . But first , I want to register for classes .   When can you do that ?   Well , they sent me their prospectus , so I can start looking now . do you want to help me decide which classed to take ?   Sure . What can you choose from ?   Well , I have to take all the fundamental course , plus a few from my major .   What is your major ?   I hope to major in English literature , but the admissions counselor told me that many people change their major many times in their first year , so we ’ ll see .   What are the fundamental course ?   In order to graduate , every student must take a certain amount of classes in history , math , English , philosophy , science and art .   Interesting . That ’ s very different from the Chinese education system .   Yes , it is . It ’ s also very different from the British education system .   Really ?
