Task 3: Answer the questions.
Trang 6Sarah
On the first weekend I went out with my
new friends, walking around campus
It was exciting, thinking how I was at college,
meeting people who could become good
friends of mine The most exciting thing
was that I didn’t have to explain to my
parents where I was going , who with,
or what time I’d be home
On Saturday night, I followed my room mate to a party The people at the party were busy playing some game, and no one seemed to notice my existence
I suddenly felt so lonely Fighting back tears ,
I ran back to my room, thinking I would
never feel at home at college
She went out with her new friends, walking around campus.
Because at the party everyone was busy playing some games and no one seemed to notice her.

Trang 7Ellen
My room mate left the window open all
the time, even when it was 10 degrees
Celsius out, and went to bed at 10 every night
When she got sick after midterms,
she blamed my typing and having a light on
while she was trying to sleep
At first, college was a little daunting
I graduated from a small school After
seeing the same people over and over for
many years, it was amazing, but a little scary,
to be in place where it seemed like I never saw
the same person twice
Her roommate left the window open when
it was cold outside She went to bed early She blamed Ellen for making her sick.

Trang 8Brenden
The first year at college was probably the
best and most challenging year of my life
Academically, I enjoyed it thoroughly Taking
part in the advanced Engineering project gave
me a chance to use my creativity and knowledge
to help society
Socially, I made lots of new friends both through
engineering and living at St John’s College on campus The social calendar of the colleges provides plenty of
opportunities to meet non- engineering students as well
as other engineers, many of whom have become my
best mates
He thought the first year at college was the best and the most challenging of his life.
It provides him a lot of opportunities to meet non –engineering students as well as other engineers and many of them have become his best friends.

Trang 9Discuss the question:
Is higher education important to you?
Why? Why not?
Important
-It helps to get well-paid jobs
- It helps to broaden
knowledge.
- It helps you to work better
- It’s easy for you to get
promotion.
- There is often a big
difference in salary between
the directors and workers.
Suggested ideas:
Not important
- Skilled workers are needed.
- Young people can help their family out with money at home.
- They can attend service schools to further education.
