College culture Unit 1 Unit 1 College culture Inside view Conversation1 Janet ：So this is the Cherwell Boathouse – it’s lovely! And look at those people punting! It looks quite easy. Mark ：I’m not so sure about that! Janet, there’s something Kate and I wanted to discuss with you. Some people in college are organizing charity events this term. We’ve decided to get involved. Janet ：Raising money for charity? Right. In China, people raise money for charity but students don’t usually do that. Mark ：Students often do that here. Anyway, we’re thinking of doing sponsored punting. Janet ：Sponsored punting! What’s that? Kate ：Sponsoring is when people pay you to do something – like run a long distance. So people would be sponsoring students to punt. Janet ：What a great idea! I’d love to join you! Mark ：That’s why we’re telling you about it. So that’s decided then. Let’s make a list of things we need to do. Kate ：I’ll do that. One of the first things we should do is choose the charity. Mark ：Yes. And choose a day for the event. And we need to design the sponsorship form. I’ve got one here. Kate ：That looks fine, but we must change the wording. Who wants to do that? Mark ：I’ll do that. What have we got so far? Kate ：Choose a charity. Also a day for the event. Change the wording on the sponsorship form … Um … We have to decide where the punt will start from. Mark ：Cherwell Boathouse, no question! Its a very beautiful route from here, apparently. Kate ：I’m with you on that. Janet ：Me too … Conversation2 Janet ：I’m not used to boats – Woah! Mark ：Whoops! Kate ：Watch out! You nearly hit me with that thing! Mark ：Sorry! I didn’t mean to. … OK, we’re off! Kate ：Maybe I should do the punting. Mark ：It’s fine. I’ve got the hang of it now – give me a chance. Kate ：Well, I’d like to have a go. Mark ：Supposing I do the first hour. Then you can take over for a while, if you want to. Kate ：Yes, great. Janet ：You’re really good at it, Mark! This is fantastic!
