  The keyword concerned in Q2 must be “department”. From the question, we can assume that the answer must be a noun. Anna suggests that Stefan’s actual department is engineering, to which Stefan happily agrees.. Therefore, the answer for this question must be “engineering”. Note: Some students may mistakenly believe that Marine Construction or Science is the correct answer. However, Science is a faculty, whereas Marine Construction is what Stefan is studying. As the question only concerns Stefan’s actual department, engineering is the correct answer.

  The keywords concerned in Q4 must be “language” and “apart from English”. From the question, we can assume that the answer must be a noun. Apart from English, Anna can speak Italian and French, whereas Stefan can only speak German. Therefore, the answer for this question must be “German”. Note: Some students may mistakenly believe that Italian, French, English is the correct answer. As the question directly excludes English from the possible answers, English is not an available choice, even though Stefan can speak English. Italian and French are the languages that Anna can speak, not Stefan. Therefore, those are incorrect answers.

• 5 Answer: (in) Hall

  The keyword concerned in Q5 must be “type of accommodation”. From the question, we can assume that the answer must be a noun. As Stefan claims that he currently lives in Hall, the answer for this question must be “(in) Hall/hall”. Note: Some students may mistakenly believe that flat is a correct answer. However, living in a flat is just Stefan’s personal wish. Furthermore, we already know that he won’t be able to live in flat until the end of the first term. Therefore, flat is an incorrect answer.

• 6 Answer: 02950659003

  The keyword concerned in Q6 must be “contact number”. From the question, we can assume that the answer must be a series of numbers. It turns out that Stefan hasn’t had his mobile number yet, thus he uses the Union’s phone number instead. Therefore, the answer for this question must be “02950659003”.

• 7 Answer: (in the) mornings

  The keywords concerned in Q7 must be “when” and “photocopier”. From the question, we can assume that the answer must be a particular time. According to Anna, students can use the photocopier in the mornings. Therefore, the answer for this question must be “(in the) mornings”. Note: Some student may mistakenly believe that the correct answer is after 1pm. Actually, the Union uses the photocopier after 1pm. In other words, students cannot use the photocopier after 1pm. Therefore, it is an incorrect answer.

• 8 Answer: (the)Round Theatre

  The keywords concerned in Q8 must be “where” and “held events”. From the question, we can assume that the answer must be a noun. According to Anna, events are usually held in Round Theatre, as the sound system is better. Therefore, the answer for this question must be “Round Theatre”. Note: Some students may mistakenly believe that the Union building or the Conference Centre is the correct answer. Actually, the fact that events are held in the Union building is just Stefan’s assumption, which is later corrected by Anna. The Conference Centre is simply a place opposite to the Round Theatre. We never actually know its uses. Therefore, those are incorrect answers.

• 9 Answer: (The) Transport Secretary

  The keywords concerned in Q9 must be “Union officer” and “responsible for van hire”. From the question, we can assume that the answer must be a noun. If Stefan wants to hire a van, he has to do that through the transport secretary, who is on the second floor. Therefore, the answer for this question must be “Transport Secretary”.

• 10 Answer: newspapers

  The keywords concerned in Q10 must be “will”, “Union members” and “able to get a discount on”. From the question, we can assume that the answer must be a noun. According to Anna, Union members will be able to get a discount on newspapers from the next term. Therefore, the answer for this question must be “newspapers”. Note: Some students may mistakenly believe that books, clothes and music must be the correct answer. However, the word “will” in the question indicates that we only take into account those which we will get a discount on in the future, not the current things that we already enjoy. Therefore, it is an incorrect answer.

Erm this is the first time I’ve been down to the union – I’m a new international student – and I just wondered what to do.Anna: Oh right. Well, normally we ask international students to fill out this form and we put your details on the wall by reception . Then other students can contact you – it’s a way for everybody to get to know each other. It can be a bit lonely otherwise .Stefan: Oh I see.Anna: What’s your name? I’m Anna, by the way.Stefan: It’s Stefan Unger.Anna: OK well just write that there – next to name – and then fill in the rest.Stefan: Right. Um what docs it mean degree program ?

Anna: Oh. just if you are an undergraduate or a post graduate or maybe you’re just here for a short course?course Stefan: I’m a postgraduate. Do I need to say what in?

Anna: Just your actual Department, That must be engineering now , no?

Stefan: OK – I think I’ll just list computer games as that’s my big interest huh . I haven’t played football for ages. I may start to play once I get settled . Now. let’s see – next thing is languages.

Stefan: Hm – I can only speak German – my mother .

Anna: We’re trying to find similarities between people and some people live in Hall, some are in flats, some are in bed-sits – so it helps if you say.

Anna: Yes. You need to get a card from the shop – and then it’s available to all students in the mornings.

Anna: If you’re interested in something, you should check the poster or our website. In fact, we normally use the Round Theatre opposite, the conference Centre for most events because the sound system is better.

The President said wc have to limit who is allowed to hire them. The person you need to sec is the transport secretary . She’s on the second floor.

Anna: No. that’s it I’m afraid – mainly books, clothes and music. Though we are currently negotiating io get one on newspapers, so that should be valid from next term.

Stefan: OK. thanks a lot … (fade) …
