托福TPO2 Conversation2

TPO 2 Conversation 2 Narrator Listen to a conversation between two students. They are both studying to be English teachers. Girl Did you register already for your classes next semester? Boy Yes, I did. Girl What are you taking? Boy Um…contemporary literature, English style, um… the teaching seminar, and I still have to do my student teaching. I’m gonna help teach a writing class of the junior high. Girl That’s a heavy schedule. Boy Yeah, it will be really busy and I’m also taking a theory class. But I have to quit my job a couple of weeks ‘cause it will be just too much. Girl Where do you work at? Boy Buster’s coffee shop, but just till the end of the month. What are you doing next semester? Girl Actually a teaching seminar too. And I will have to start writing my thesis. You know, I’m also going for my master’s degree. Boy So you are not writing any poetry, I imagine. Girl No, I was actually thinking about revising some of my poems and sending them into places for publication. Boy Cool, you should. Um, did you hear about that new poetry club, The Poetry Kitchen? Girl Yeah, no time. Boy It’s fun. It’s Sunday night. You don’t do anything at Sunday nights? Girl I do homework Sunday nights. Boy Well, it’s only from 7 to 9. Girl Is it every Sunday? Boy Last Sunday of every month. I don’t know about this month, ‘cause it’s probably a little too close to Thanksgiving, so they might move it up. I don’t know what they are gonna to do, but it’s a good time, it’s fun, some really impressive readings. Girl Who? From our class? Boy Some people from our class are reading. A lot of them go, sometimes even the professor. Girl Really? I don’t know if I would want reading in front of her. Boy You wouldn’t have to read, you can just watch. I just watched the first time, but it’s a good environment to read them, I think anyway. Girl I probably have to write something new, so maybe during the summer, I just can’t now. Boy Yeah, it wouldn’t be the same just reading old stuff. Are you going to do summer school? Girl Definitely. Otherwise, I will be short 6 credits. I have no choice. Boy Yeah, me too. This is the second summer I’ll have to take classes. I gotta go now, my Shakespeare class starts at twenty minutes.
