Conversation 3

M: You mentioned that you are a fan of live music. I guess I don't have to tell you about the concert at the campus pub on Saturday. It's supposed to be the best show of the year.

W: I know. I wish I could be there but I already promised Professor Henry that I'd have all of the quizzes graded by Monday. I'm afraid I'm going to be stuck in my dorm all weekend.（女士整个周末都要待在宿舍不能出门。)

M: Why did you offer to do that? Did you forget about the concert, or do you really need the money?

W: Actually, I really need to concentrate on academics this year. If I want to get into the education program here, I have to prove that I am serious about being a tutorial leader. It's not about the money.

M: Have you applied at other schools besides this one? （9）I've heard it's really hard to get into the education program here, but my cousin got accepted at one in a different state, and her grades aren't that good.（男士的表妹在另一个州的学校申请成功了。）

W:（10）That was my original plan, but Professor Henry asked me to help her out this year and she also promised to write me a reference letter.（教授请女士帮忙，并答应为她写推荐信。）I didn't think I could get into the program here, but now I do. My marks are higher than they have ever been and once I'm done my Master's I hope to do my PhD.

M： Well, I can see that you are really dedicated. Well, I'm sorry you're going to miss the band.

W: Me too. I can't help feeling a bit jealous.

M: Well, I'll tell you all about it on Monday.
