1--Hey, Jordan, is that you? Long time no see!
2--Oh, hey, no kidding! I haven't seen you since orientation three months ago! So how've you been? Settling into college life OK?
1--Yeah, I think so! I pledged Phi Iota Alpha, so I'm living at the frat house now.
2--Oh, so you're a frat boy now, huh?
1--Yeah, yeah, I know, it's totally cliche, but really, I think it's been a good decision. I've got a lot of support and good suggestions from the guys. What about you? What have you been up to?
2--Not much. I'm still living at home and commuting to school. I ended up dropping that metalworking class I was so excited about. It just wasn't as interesting as I'd hoped. The guidance counselor suggested that I focus on my prerequisite courses so that I can make sure the credits count.
1--That sounds smart... but kind of boring.
2--Yeah, it is, a little bit. I joined the Great Outdoors Club, though, which has been a lot of fun. We've gone on two camping trips already, and I've made some good friends.
1--That's cool. Hey, so have you decided on your major yet?
2--Definitely pre-med. What about you?
1--I still have no clue... but we don't have to declare a major till our sophomore year, so I've got time! Oops, I'm late for class. Gotta run!
2--OK, take care! Hey, nice running into you!
1--Yeah, you too!

1--嘿,喬丹,是你嗎?好久不見!
2--哦,嘿,真的是這樣??!自從上次分開我們已經(jīng)有三個月沒見了!你現(xiàn)在好嗎?開始你的大學(xué)生活了嗎?
1--是的,我是這么想的!我向ΦIA起誓了,所以我現(xiàn)在住在兄弟會的房子。
2--哦,你現(xiàn)在是兄弟會的人了,額?
1--是的,是的,我知道,這完全是陳詞濫調(diào)。但是,我真得覺得這是一個好決定。那兒的兄弟們給了我很多很好的建議。你怎么樣了?你后來做了什么?
2--沒做太多。我還是住在家里然后往返學(xué)校。我沒有上我很喜歡的金工課。這可不是我希望的。咨詢顧問建議我把注意力放在預(yù)學(xué)課程上,這樣才能確保能拿到學(xué)分。
1--聽起來這樣做是明智的……但是有點(diǎn)無聊。
2--是的,是有點(diǎn)無聊。但是我加入了戶外運(yùn)動俱樂部,那里很好玩。我們已經(jīng)去露營兩次了,并且結(jié)交了一些好朋友。
1--酷。嘿,你已經(jīng)決定你的專業(yè)了嗎?
2--當(dāng)然是醫(yī)學(xué)預(yù)科。你呢?
1--我還是沒有頭緒……但是我們直到大二那年才須要定下專業(yè),所以還有時間做決定!哎呀,上課快遲到了。得走了!
2--好的,保重!嘿,很高興見到你!
1--是的,你也是!
