W:What's your apartment like?
M:It is a flat with two bedrooms in a three-story building on campus.
W:What is it like living in  campus housing?
M: It's not so bad as I thought it would be.The freshmen that live by are really noisy, especially on weekends.But the rent is much cheaper than private housing.So it's worth it.
W:Do you have to pay extra fees besides your monthly rent?
M: No, they are all included.Besides, students don't have to pay state tax.So we are saving quite a bit of money living here.
W:How long is your contract?
M: That's the bad thing.The contract ends in June.However, all the students will leave the city for the summer.So maybe I'll be able to find the cheap place then.

M: I'm really sorry, Madam.I missed your lecture because I was ill yesterday.
W: I'm not upset that you couldn't keep your appointment.But you didn't call me.When someone doesn't turn up  and doesn't call, it makes someone else wait.
M: You're right.I apologize.I didn't feel well.And I guess I just wasn't thinking about calling you at the time.
W:OK.Apology accepted.Now, I suppose you need to set up another appointment.
M:Yes, I do.But I'm really worried about my project.Can you see me now if I wait?
W: No, but I can see you at 3：00 this afternoon or during my office hours on Tuesday, Thursday or Friday.
M: Great.Your office hours are best, at 2:00 Tuesday, OK?
W:OK, be there on time by then.
M:I promise I will, Madam.

M:Attention, please, ladies and gentlemen.Our bus's getting close to Cambridge.We'll be stopping to eat there.We'll have our lunch at a garden restaurant overlooking a small park that reminds people of the very famous tree.It's said the General George Washington took command of the army in 1775 under its very branches.It was almost 100 years later, in 1864, that the city of Cambridge celebrated the event and from that moment on, the tree was called the Washington Elm.Later, the tree was attacked by insects, and finally destroyed in a storm. The remains of the tree were cut down.Well, it seems that if Washington had accepted the command of his army under this tree, he must have done so on his knees.This particular elm couldn't have been over 3 or 4 years old in 1775.It is a well-known fact that Washington took command under an elm tree, but, unfortunately, it couldn't have been the famous Washington Elm.Well, enjoy your lunch, and watch the steps as you leave the bus.
