听力原文:[Student (female)] Hi, [Professor] Cho. [Advisor (mate)] Hello, Angeline. Come on in. Have a seat. [Student] Thanks. [Advisor] Q1 When you made your appointment, you mentioned that you wanted to talk about the possibility of studying abroad? [Student] Thats right.Thats why Im here. I just need some general information about the whole process. [Advisor] OK. Thats great. Whenever students tell me they want to study abroad, I do everything I can to encourage it. For this time in your life, I just think its a really valuable experience. I mean, sometimes people dont have this kind of opportunity again. [Student] Yeah--thats why I want to do it. 1 really dont want to miss the chance to live and study in another country. Besides that, I think itll help me with my major. [Advisor] What did you declare as your major? International law? Ive forgotten what you decided. [Student] Yeah, I almost went with international law, but I ended up settling on Spanish. [Advisor] So, may I assume you want to study in a Spanish-speaking country? [Student] Right. [Advisor] Oh yes, well in that case, Im sure that studying abroad will really help you become more proficient in the language. Itll certainly be an asset for you as a Spanish major. [Student] Yeah. One of my roommates studied in Mexico last semester, and she came back practically fluent in Spanish. I was so impressed by the amount she, um, learned while she was living abroad.Thats part of the reason I want to go abroad. [Advisor] So, are you interested in studying in Mexico as well? [Student] Q2 Actually, Id rather go to Spain. My family is originally from there...so Ive always had an interest in the country and culture, [Advisor] Well, thats certainly a possibility. In fact, therere tons of study-abroad programs based in Spain. Q5 Do you have any ideas about what you want to get out of your experience? [Student] [unsure of what the man means] Um, uh...what...can you give me an example? [Advisor] Welt, what kind of language skills do you have at the moment and where do you want them to be by the end of your experience? Um, do you want to live in a dorm? With a local family? How long do you want to spend abroad? [Student] Well, my Spanish skills are intermediate, Id say. I could probably get by taking classes in Spanish...but Id definitely have some difficulties. Q3 Im looking for a relatively structured program. One that offers housing with other exchange students. Preferably in a alarm, I guess. I want to have my own space. And I think that spending one semester abroad would fit best into my schedule. If [ want to go abroad again, I could always do that later on...in my junior or senior year. [Advisor] OK. Good. Sounds like you have some specific ideas about what youre looking for. Q3 Let me just point out that while therere some advantages to a program like that, therere also some disadvantages, If you live in a dorm with other exchange students, youll be somewhat isolated from people in the local culture, Which may make it more difficult to really learn the language. [Student] [considering the idea] Yeah...I could see how that might happen. [Advisor] That doesnt mean you shouldnt do a program like that, but its just something to consider. Besides, if you go into the situation determined to learn the language, therere other ways you can meet locals and participate in the culture. [Student] Maybe I should think about it more before I decide. Do you think I could look at a few brochures for some of the programs? Id like to read up on my options. I thought I knew what I wanted, but maybe I shouldnt rule out any possibilities at this point. [Advisor] Sure. Q4 Let me put together a folder with information about a variety of programs based in Spain. I can have that for you by tomorrow, if you want to drop by then. And later, we can talk more about the general study-abroad requirements...like getting a letter of approval from a professor in your language department. [Student] Q4 OK, that sounds great. Ill stop by tomorrow.Thanks a lot for your help! [Advisor] You bet. Why does the woman visit the man?
