+ The important keyword in this question is “long vacation” – the other expression of “holidays”, so when hearing that the student asked “And what about in the holidays?”, we should pay more attention.
+ The admin’s answer “We don’t do anything during the winter or spring break but over the summer there’s just general classes …” gives us the clue.
+ Because summer is one of the long vacations, we can ensure what we are looking for is general classes.

+ Thanks to the phrase “sign up” from the question of student “Do I have to sign up for something now?” which has same meaning with the word “enrol”, we can know that the following part will discuss about this question.
+ And the answer of administrator provides us the clue for the answer.
+ At first, he said “Classes haven’t quite started yet so you’ve got time to decide what you do.” And then he noticed that “All we insist is that you sign up before week five”, which means that before week five, all the students have to enrol in these courses.
+ So, in Q7, week five needs to be written down in the blank space.

Q8-Q9-Q10. Which THREE items does the student need to bring to the first class?
A. passport
B. computer disk
C. note from tutor
D. notebook
E. student identity card
F. dictionaryG. registration form
Administrator: … you’ll be given a registration which you’ll have to show to the teacher when you have your first class.

Administrator: … you’ll need a notebook as we don’t provide paper or files.
+ This question asks us to find out three things that the student need to bring to the first class.
+ After discussing about matter of enroling, we can hear the admin instructed “you’ll be given a registration which you’ll have to show to the teacher when you have your first class”
+ From his saying, we can conclude that the first item we should choose for this question is registration form.
+ We will hear in the audio the admin said “Yes, you’ll be given a password when you go to your first class”, which is very easy to misunderstand because of its similar structure to the above question, so we need to be careful here.
+ After this saying, the speaker continued “so remember to bring a disk with you to save your work on as you won’t be allowed to save it on the hard drive”. This sentence provides us the right answer, which is computer disk.
+ We can figure out the clue of the last item again from the saying of the administrator “you’ll need a notebook as we don’t provide paper or files”.
+ According to this sentence, we will know that because the class doesn’t provide paper or files, the student need to bring a notebook to the first class.

Section 1
Student: Hi. I’ve come to ask about the English courses you run for international students.
Administrator: Oh right – I assume you’re a student at the university?
Student: Yes, I’ve just started.
Administrator: OK. Well, we’ve got a range of courses. It depends what you think you need. And how much. Um – we can’t run everything at the same time though so. for example, in this first term we are just doing a writing course.
Student: I see. That sounds quite useful. What else is there?
Administrator: Um. some of the courses only run for single terms and we lend to focus on what students have difficulty with. That means we don’t usually do speaking courses but next term you can do listening. That’ll help you with lectures and things. Our provision is all based on what the majority of our international students need.
Student: So is everything term-based – there’s nothing that you run all year?
Administrator: Well, let’s have a look. Yes. there is a class for vocabulary and grammar every term. That’s for everybody but it’s split into three or four levels.
Student: And what about in the holidays and ?
Administrator: We don’t do anything during the winter or spring break but over the summer there’s just general classes because that’s what most students want – a bit of everything.
Student: OK. Quite a variety then. I’ll have a think about what I really need bccause I haven’t got much time. Do you have about 20 students in each class – the same as our Science seminars ?
Administrator: We try to keep il at about 12 and certainly not more than 15 . It’s important for language classes. They’re very different from your normal courses.
Student: Right – and how much are the classes?
Administrator: The rate varies depending on how many hours you attend but you shouldn’t have to pay – usually the department will fund you and even sort out which classes you need.
Student: Brilliant! It would be quite useful for me to have a certificate to lake back to my country. Do you put us in for exams?
Administrator: Yes. But we don’t like them to clash with your main course exams in June, so we run them in May. That leaves you time for revision.
Student: Do I have to sign up for something now? I’m not quite sure what 1 want.
Administrator: Classes haven’t quite started yet so you’ve got time to decide what you do. All we insist is that you sign up before week five. That gives you about three weeks to decide.
Student: OK.
Administrator: Then, when you’ve made up your mind, you need to come back here to the administration office to enrol.
Student: What do I need to bring with me when I enrol? My identity card . I guess?
Administrator: Yes. or your passport and . Then you’ll be given a registration form which you’ll have to show to the teacher when you have your first class.
Student: OK. And should I ask my tutor about which classes I should do then?
Administrator: Yes. then you get a note from him and give that to the desk when you register.
Student: Can I use the computers here as well?
Administrator: Yes, you’ll be given a password when vou go to your first class, so remember to bring a disk with you to save your work on as you won’t be allowed to save it on the hard drive.
Student: OK. Will I need anything else? dictionary ?
Administrator: We’ve got loads of those here that you can borrow, but you’ll need a notebook as we don’t provide paper or files.
Student: OK. Thanks.
