M: Good morning, Ms. Smith.Welcome to today’s show.
W: Thank you.
M: Today we’re going to talk about the living of foreign students in our country.You know, for many international students,coming to the United States and living here and studying can be a quite frightening experience,especially when finding housing. Can you give them some advice?
W: Sure. (1) _________________________________.They can choose to live on campus or off campus.
M: Then can you say something about on-campus living?
W: Well, I think first of all for first-time students,coming and living on campus in dormitories can provide a certain level of security because of its
closeness to campus facilities since commuting without a car can be quite an experience,especially when you have to commute long distances.Often in dormitories,meals might be provided,and this can allow students to devote time to their academics,rather than housekeeping.
M: That sounds quite good.(2) ___________________________________?
W: Yes, students should be aware that they’ll be required to abide by certain regulations dealing with student conduct as part of the contract and living on campus.
M: Then what about off-campus living?
W: Like living in dormitories, uh,living off campus in an apartment requires little or no maintenance specifically because usually it is handled by someone else.Also, (3) ______________________________________________________.But you should be aware that tenants may be responsible for furnishing their own apartments.
M: Well, thank you, Ms. Smith,for the information you have provided for us.
W: My pleasure.
