WHILE YOU READ
Direction:
Three students talk about their first impressions of university life. Read the passage, and then do the tasks that follow.
Sarah:

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 roommate 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.
Ellen:


My roommate 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 one 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 a place where it seemed like I never saw the same person twice.
Brenden:


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 non-engineering students as well as other engineers, many of whom have become my best mates.

LET’S RELAX
NEVER BE THE SAME AGAIN
Melanie C feat Lisa `Left Eye` Lopes

Come on. Ooh, yeah.
Never be the same again.

I call you up whenever things go wrong.
You`re always there. You are my shoulder to cry on.
I can`t believe it took me quite so long.
To take the forbidden step.
Is this something that I might regret?

(Come on, come on)
Nothing ventured nothing gained.
(You are the one)
A lonely heart that can`t be tamed.
(Come on, come on)
I`m hoping that you feel the same.
This is something that I can`t forget.
Now I know that we were close before.
I`m glad I realized I need you so much more.
And I don`t care what everyone will say.
It`s about you and me.
And we`ll never be the same again.

I thought that we would just be friends
Things will never be the same again. It`s just the beginning it`s not the end. Things will never be the same again.
It`s not a secret anymore.
Now we`ve opened up the door. Starting tonight and from now on.
We`ll never, never be the same again.
Never be the same again.
Nite and day.
Black beach sand to red clay.
The US to UK, NYC to LA.
From sidewalks to highways.
See it`ll never be the same again.
What I`m sayin`
My mind frame never changed `til you came rearranged.

But sometimes it seems completely forbidden.
To discover those feelings that we kept so well hidden.
Where there`s no competition.
And you render my condition.
Though improbable it`s not impossible.
For a love that could be unstoppable.
But wait.
A fine line`s between fate and destiny.
Do you believe in the things that were just meant to be?
When you tell me the stories of your quest for me.
Picturesque is the picture you paint effortlessly.

And as our energies mix and begin to multiply.
Everyday situations, they start to simplify.
So things will never be the same between you and I.
We intertwined our life forces and now we`re unified.

I thought that we would just be friends.
Things will never be the same again.
It`s just the beginning it`s not the end.
Things will never be the same again.
It`s not a secret anymore.
Now we`ve opened up the door.
Starting tonight and from now on.
We`ll never, never be the same again.

Things will never be the same again.
Never be the same again.
It`s not a secret anymore.
We`ll never be the same again.
It`s not a secret anymore.
We`ll never be the same again.
Never be the same again.
THANKS FOR YOUR ATTENTIONS
