M: Are those noodles done yet? I’m so hungry, I could eat raw eggs!
W: Me, too. But I’m afraid they’re still cooking. It feels like I’ve been waiting for this water to boil all day.
M: I think it just seems longer because we’re so hungry. Text 2
W: What are we doing in P.E. today, John? I hope it’s not track and field again. I’m a terrible runner. M: Not all of track and field is running, you know. Why don’t you try some of the “field” events? There’s the long jump, the high jump… Text 3
W: I studied a little French when I was younger, and I know that Spanish has some similarities, so it shouldn’t be too difficult. At least, that’s what I was thinking when I signed up for it. M: It looks like we’ll be classmates. Text 4
W: What happened to this lamp, Steve? It looks like someone used it as a football. M: I know. It fell off my desk last night. Do you think my parents will notice?
W: Definitely. You should send a text message and tell them about it before they get home. Text 5
W: Hey, Max! Do you know about the big game this weekend?
M: Uh…yeah, but keep your voice down. We’re supposed to be quiet in here. People are studying all around us.
W: What do you mean? It’s not like we’re in class. This is our free time. Text 6
M: How was your break? Ready for a new term?
W: It was fine, but it wasn’t long enough. I could use just one more week. M: I hear you! How’s your new class load? What are you teaching?
W: Art History 101, the same as usual. But this year, I’m excited because my students are from different parts of the country. M: Awesome. I’ll bet you’ll learn a lot.
W: Why are you in the lunch room? Don’t you have papers to grade?
M: No, I’m just planning tomorrow’s lesson. I got bored and decided to come see what’s in the fridge.
W: Well, there’s nothing in there yet. It’s only the first day of school. Text 7

at noon by the entrance.
M: Yeah, they’re in the parking lot. And Dave and his wife Julia are right behind them. What time does the movie start?
W: In ten minutes, but since everyone is late, we might have to see another movie.
M: There is another showing at 1:30, so we can shop here for a while and then head up to the fifth floor.
W: OK. You get the tickets, and I’ll wait here for the rest of them. Do you have enough money for the tickets?
M: Actually, no. I only have enough for myself and one other person. What about you? W: Dave’s wife is paying for me. So, I guess we’re stuck here.
M: I guess it would have been easier to have just gotten a ride with them… Text 8
M: Look outside, Hannah. It’s only raining now, but the temperature is supposed to drop. The streets will be icy if it gets cold enough.
W: I think the rain will turn to snow soon, actually. I wonder if I should put the snow chains on the tires before I leave.
M: Let me check the weather report. If it’s going to snow, you may want to think about just staying here.
W: I can’t stay in this café all night, Hank. And you shouldn’t either.
M: Well, I only have to walk a few blocks and I’ll be home. What are you going to do? It’s safer for you to take the subway.
W: I suppose I should have stayed home. I don’t know why I always feel like I can study better in a coffee shop. It’s a little crazy, isn’t it?
M: Not really. Look around you. This place is full of desperate students like us.
W: Well, if we ever get to graduation, I’m going to save up my money and buy a coffee shop in a college town.
M: That’s a great idea. But first, we have to survive this storm. Text 9
W: Welcome back to Valley High, Aaron. It’s been two years since you visited us, and you’re almost finished with college. Can you give the students some tips on how to succeed in college?
M: Uh, I will try. I think it’s important to take control of your schedule in the first year. Nobody will tell you when to do your homework, so you have to take charge. And of course, you need a good network of friends. It’s important to choose friends who also have good study skills. Otherwise, you’re doomed!
W: And what causes most new college students to fail?
M: Well, in addition to falling behind on their work and spending too much time on social activities,

I think students also get in trouble when they don’t use the university’s resources. W: You mean, like the library?
M: Well, yes. I’m also talking about services that can help students succeed. For example, the office for academic success can help you find tutors. Or you can visit the writing center or the math lab if you need help with an assignment. And of course, all professors have office hours. You should take advantage of those when you are confused or get behind. Text 10
It was midnight, and John was studying for his last test. He had many classes, and getting the highest score was important to him. He knew that doing well in high school was important. He had stayed awake every night during final exams to make sure he could succeed.
On Monday night, he had worked on chemistry until 8:00 the next morning, just in time for his chemistry final. On Tuesday night, he had reviewed Modern Asian History until 4:00. On Wednesday night, he worked on his mathematics. He wanted to get the highest score possible on that test, because engineers must know math well. But on Thursday night, when he was studying for his English test, he began to fall asleep. His head was resting on his textbook, and his pen had made a big ink spot on his shirt. He had slept until 8:30, and he had only thirty minutes to get to the classroom. He put on his glasses and ran to the school. When he got there, there were no cars in the parking lot. The gates were closed. He looked at his smart phone and saw that all his friends had sent him messages. That was when he realized the terrible truth — he had slept longer than he had thought. It was the weekend, and the English test was over!
