1; ;Oral practice Task 1: You have spent a semester at college. Which of the following statements are true for you? Is the college life the same as you expected? 1 I need at least two alarm clocks to get me up in the morning. 2 I always leave writing essays until the last minute. 3 The best thing about my life as a student is the partying. 4 I take part in every protest on campus. 5 I think I may be studying the wrong subject.; 6 I came to college to get an education, I’m not thinking about what job I’d like. 7 I’m crazy about the Beatles. 8 I think no one has ever improved on the miniskirt. 9 I’m not interested in politics. 10 I feel young people can change the world. ;Task 2 Work in pairs and discuss the two questions. 1 What do you think student life was like in the 1960s? Well, student life in the 1960s was 50 years ago. So I phoned my father who contacted my grandfather to ask about his student life in the 1960s. I was told that student life then was very different: Universities in China were closed for quite a few years in the 1960s. Before they were closed in about 1967, student life was quite peaceful and intellectual.;2 How do you think it has changed? I assume student life now is very different from the 1960s. The political movements are certainly not the focus of our university life. We all study hard and use the time well to equip ourselves with knowledge and skills to face the real life outside the university. Well, I would say a big change is that quite a lot of students would think about or actually engage in some entrepreneurial experiments (e.g. setting up a business on campus or online) while studying. This would have been unthinkable in the 1960s. ;Watch and Listening You are going to do three tasks on University of California at Berkeley.
