Q: Read the below conversation.  Crystal: Welcome to ABC's Campus Interview Series. I'm David Crystal. Tonight, we shall share the story of Vet, a senior at Lee High School. Vet, what was life like for you as a child?  Vet: Life was fun. I was always very loved, even without my father around. I was somewhat of a troublemaker, but I have a lot of good memories to show for it. Being a child was the best time of my life.  Crystal: How have your childhood years affected who you are today?  Vet: I was raised by very strong, supportive people. My mother and sisters have a lot to do with who I am. I also learned many lessons, good and bad, which have made me a strong adult. They have helped me realize what I need to do to be happy. My mother has always been the best person in my life. She has never let me down, and has always been very supportive. Whenever I needed a friend, she was one. My sisters have also been there for me. When my morn was getting her college degree, she would be out late, and my sisters stepped in and played morn. They are my best friends and give me great advice.  Crystal: What have been some of your biggest trials, and how have you overcome them?  Vet: The biggest trial in my life was when I got pregnant sophomore year. It was a new road to travel. I didn't have to get over it, I had to accept it and learn to adapt. Another trial would be trying to get over the love of my life, my baby's father. We were engaged, but things went the other way. I had to learn to love myself more than I loved a man.  Crystal: Who helped you during your pregnancy?  Vet: My morn and sisters were everything I needed them to be-a mother, sister, boyfriend, best friend and father. All my friends were there for me, I could cry to them whenever I needed to. I'm especially thankful for my morn. It was hard for her to deal with two pregnant children at the same time. The dad and his family were also there, which was a blessing  Crystal: When a bad situation comes up, what do you do?  Vet: I try to find the best way to deal with it. I am often faced with...  What would the listener say?
A: Vet: It has worn me out. My body is stretched in places I never knew I had. My hips are huge, I won't be a model again anytime soon. Being pregnant so young has emotionally drained me. I have so many things to worry about now, and my emotions are like a roller coaster. One minute I am happy, and the next depressed. I never spend time on my appearance. I'm always focusing on my baby.

Q: Read the below conversation.  Receptionist: English Language Center. How may I help you?  Caller: Yes. I'm calling to find out more information about your program. For example, what kind of courses do you offer?  Receptionist: Well, first of all, the purpose of our program is to provide language learning opportunities to this area's community [Uh-hum], whether a student's goal is to master basic functional language skills, let's say, for his or her job, or to study intensively to enter a US college or university.  Caller: Okay. I'm calling for a friend who is interested in attending a US university.  Receptionist: And that's the kind of, uh, instruction that we provide, from basic communication courses to content-based classes such as computer literacy, intercultural communication, and business English.  Caller: Great. What are your application deadlines for the next semester?  Receptionist: Well, we ask applicants to apply no later than two months before the semester begins. [Uh-hum] This gives us time to process the application and issue the student's I-20.  Caller: An I-20?  Receptionist: Oh, an I-20 is a form that indicates that we are giving permission for the student to study in our program, and then the student takes this form to the US embassy in his or her country to apply for the F-1 student visa.  Caller: Alright. What is the tuition for a full-time student?  Receptionist: It's two thousand thirty dollars.  Caller: And how does one apply?  Receptionist: Well, we can send you an application and you can mail it back to us, or you can fill out our application that's online at our Web site.  Caller: And are there other materials I would need to send in addition to the application form?  Receptionist: Uh, yes. You would need to send in a $35 non-refundable application fee [Uh-huh], a sponsorship form indicating who will be responsible financially for the student while studying in our program, and a bank statement showing that you or your sponsor has sufficient funds to cover tuition expenses and living costs for the entire year of...  What would the listener say?
A: Caller: Okay. Goodbye.

German and Art.  W: Art?  M: Well. I really wanted to study Art. But a friend of my father's provided with me a job-he's an accountant in the city.  W: I see.

W: Did your father mind?  M: Well, he was rather disappointed at first. He's an accountant too, you see.  W: Have you any brothers or sisters?  M: Two brothers, both at school. One's eleven; the other's fifteen.  W: Right. What do you do in your spare time?  M: I like jazz and folk music; I go to the theater occasionally and act a bit myself.
