Listen to part of a conversation on campus between two students
I didn’t see you at the International Talent Show
No time for that kind of thing
You mean you don't belong to the ISA?
The ISA?
International Student Association
Oh, no I don't belong to any clubs
But this isn't like a regular club
How so?
Well, we have a house You know, the brick house on fraternity row and
You live there, right?
Yeah, I moved in last year It's really inexpensive because we take care of the house ourselves and we cook our own meals
That sounds like it would take a lot of time
Not really There's a list of chores posted every week, and you can choose something you like to do, so I usually put my name down for yard work I like being outside so it's fun for me
But you have to cook too, right?
Okay, it's like this: twenty of us live there so every night two of the guys cook and two of the guys clean up, so you only have to cook about once a week and clean up once
What about breakfast and lunch?
Oh, well, you're on your own for that, but the dinners are just fantastic It's like eating in a different ethnic restaurant every night You know, because the guys are from different countries
That sounds good
And it costs about half what I did to live in the dorm But really, I’m doing it because it’s a great experience living with people from so many different countries My best friend in the house is from Korea My roommate's from Brazil
And I’ve got friends from … well, just about everywhere
But you don’t have to live in the house to belong to the club
No, no There are about a hundred members in the International Student Association Only guys live in the house, but there are a lot of women in the association
I wish I had time to do ft It really sounds interesting
You’ve got to relax sometimes Anyway, we meet at the house the first Friday of the month from seven to ten We have a buffet dinner and after that, we have a short meeting That's when we plan our activities, like the talent show and picnics and dances Then a lot of the people stay for music and a party, but some people leave after the meeting
So it's only a couple hours a month
Right Listen, why don't you come over next Friday for the meeting, as my guest I mean You have to eat anyway And if you have a good time, you can think about joining
Next Friday? Well, I don't know , I usually study on Friday night, but I could take a break Sure I’ll come over but might have to leave early
Great
