Chen:
Now, let's talk about our campus life・ I like our library best. There are so many books there・ I like reading books, and there are many old books which cannot be easily found in book shops・ The building looks like a castle; it seems the building is very large and I always get lost in library. Wu:
Woo, you are so brave. I don't think itzs safe to stay in the library・ I always hung around in the campus, especially in summer evening. The old building looks very grand in the dim light of sun set ・ And I can always meet some frie nds, it feels good to meet a frie nd by accide nt and have a free chat with him・ Dong:
Yeah, I always see you in the campus at night・ I like hung around too. While, I like do sports better; such as playing badminton, swimming. I don't like outdoor sports because I don't think the air is healthy eno ugh to breath ・ To be hon est, as a hard worki ng man, I spend most of the part-time studying in classrooms・ I think it's really convenient for us to study in our school. The students in the classroom are always very quiet, and you can focus on your books easily・ That's why I can get high marks in almost all the exams. Chen:
Err••…Km not a hard working man; I spend a lot of time reading novels. I dorft like this campus at all, so I always devote myself in the fantastic world created by the writers・ On the other hand, I think reading book helps a lot in my study; it improves my imagination a lot. Wu:
I spend much time playing guitar, and Km the rhythm guitar of a rock band called P・A・ Our style is death metal, and it's always difficult to play well. Every member of the band admire the time we play together. It's really exciting to play that kind of music・ really grateful that our school can provide places to run over our songs and hold con certs ・ Dong:
I can imagine the girls screaming besides the stage・ But I can hardly accept that kind of music. What a happy talk・ Km grate that all of us will get further education here・
Nations and Traditions
Che n:
Let's talk about some different countries・ Which country do you like to go for your graduation tour? Wu:
I would like to go to Japan. I think Japan is a very strange country・ lt\"s both modern and
traditional. There are many shopping centers and bars and there are many temples as well. Japan is famous for its Fuji Mouton, hot springs and Gasher show. And Japanese food is also very famous because it's very healthy, but it's very expensive. Transportation is very conven ient; you will n ever worry that you can not by the tickets .It seems that Japa nese are all well educated and they are always very polite to each other and Japanese women smell almost all the time・ These can make you feel relaxed and happy・ As Japan is a high・tech country, electronic products are very cheep there. And it's an important reason why many Chinese want to visit Japan. Dong:
Well, I don't think Japanese are polite to us Chinese. And sometimes it's not safe to Chinese・ I think Germany is the best choice to me・ There are many casuals and churches・ Most of them have a long history. And I like old western buildings. I would like to visit the museums to get to know German history. My major is machinery design manufacturing and automation; many German universities are the top in this field around the world・ The most famous one is Asshen. There is a saying〃 if Asshen says Asshen is the second best in the world, MIT dare not to say MIT is the first one. If Km lucky eno ugh, I want to visit Asshe n. Germa n beer is well known arou nd the world; I must have a try though Km not good at drin king ・ Chen:
I like Europea n countries too. I want to go to Fra nee. It〃s a beaut 讦 ul land with roma nee. The nature scenery is very good・ sure I will take many beautiful photos・ I am interested in the history of NapoleorVs time・ I want to visit the museums to have a further study on the history. I'd like visit the palaces too, especially Fanersai Palace and Luvoe Palace. I know there are many famous pain tings and carvi ngs in the Palaces and I really want to have a look ・ Fre nch dish is very famous and I think it's worth to have a taste. French perfume is very famous, I'd like to buy some for my mother.
Health and Lifestyle
Che n:
There are more and more students smoke cigarettes in our dormitory. I think this is a terrible phenomenon. Sometimes we are under pressure, but we should relax ourselves in some other ways・ Smoking is bad for both smokers and the people don't smoke but live besides smokers. And smoking may cause fire disaster. Wu:
Yeah, I agree with you・ I never smoke and I hate the smelling. As I play rock music in HIT； many friends around me smoke. I know them well and they suffer from health problems sometime. To be healthy is very important, everybody know this, but few people around us can do well. In HIT almost all male professors are heavy smokers, and many of them are over weight・ All of professors in my lab are not living healthily, they have no time to do sports and they often have to be drunk when they are having meals with their customers・ Some of them have heart disease though they are still very young. This make me decide not to be a professor in a university. Dong:
But it's also very busy working in companies in big cities. And you may not have time to take care of you health. We have to struggle for houses and family・ I would choose a small city so that I can enjoy a relaxed and healthy life though I will not earn much money. The houses in small cities are much cheaper, so we won't worry too much about houses though our salaries are not very high. Chen:
Yeah, that's why the people living in small cities fell happier than the people living in big cities. Small cities are my choice as well. I want to cool meals at home because I don't think it's good to eat too much fast food as most working people in big cities do. And I think they waste too much time on the road everyday・ Dong:
And I want to play with my baby everyday after work .It seems impossible if every member in my family have to waste two to three hours on road. Small cities are quieter than big cities and I don't like noisy places・

C: What about you? Have you ever got drunk?
A: Yes, once a time I eat with my college classmates, we played so high and drank a lot beer; many of us got drunk, we need to be carried to the dormitory by those students who were still clear. C: What do you fell when you are drunk?
A: I feel dizzy, and I could hardly remember anything I did when I was drunk, Km just so tired and exhausted. I got asleep as soon as I got to my bed, and when 丨 wake up the next day, I still feel bad on my stomach.
C: ltzs really a terrible experience! A: Yeah~

B: I like Eason because I love his voice・ His voice is so deep and attractive, and when he singes it seems you could taste his emotion through the songs. Meanwhile, his songs is not very difficult to learn, so when I go to the KTV with my friend, we always choose Easorfs songs like 十年，k 歌 之王, 好久不见.His songs is easy to pick up, but very difficult to present as good as himself because his technique in singing is remarkable・ A: What about Michael?

Men and Women
A: We all know that both of character and ways of thinking are different between men and women .Men forthright, frank, and woman delicate, melody, etc. These differe nces
make men attracted to each other n ormally .In reality, the opposite sex is different from the same sex to obtain the understanding and sympathy, which becomes very valuable, so, there would be pure friendship between men and women • What do you think about?
B: I think the friendship, just the transition of love. With the initial focus and exchanges, the next step may be the alternate good impression, produce feelings, so pure friendship between men and women is only a wishful thinking. They can declare the beginning of each other is pure friendship, but with the deepening of exchanges, or one party against the other illusions, or by external environment, the evolution is purely friendship or affection, or unconsciously to draw to an end. What about you,C?
C: The end of love may be see n as str a ngers or even en emies. In fact, today the diversity in society is destined to diversify the relati on ship betwee n men and women. Some are suitable for a family between men and women, while some only for pure friends. There are the relationship to enjoy and appreciate between men and women. \"The di st a nee of 5 meters away\" is an appropriate way to maintain such frie ndship to be long.
A: Yes, I think so. In fact, the love begins from best friends. We can maintain a certain distanee, to be just friends if it is do not appropriate to be lovers.
B: Frie nd ship betwee n men and wome n, in eluding a series of good feeli ngs: care, respect and un d erst a nding. In real life, every man has some women aro und, and each woman has a number of men around her, if they have a responsibility for their marriage and family, and maintain an appropriate distance, they mostly become good friends…
C: Friendship of shared and confidante are pure expression of friendship・ I believe that pure friendship between opposite sex .Because there is a class of people who pay attenti on to the feeli ngs of the min ds, can tra nsce nd the body, and pursuit spiritual un d erst a nding and sympathy, they would be true friends ・
