[11:39.16]And Business Correspondence, which I did in the second year and third year, was really just English too.
[11:46.64]And I did just one year of French, in the fourth year, but I learned to meet people, or answer the telephone.
[11:53.84]The there was three years of Secretarial Practice, starting in the second year,

[14:41.60]Exercise 2  Directions:Listen to the passage and put the sentences in Exercise 1 in the right order according to the tape.
[14:54.13]Two groups of students-math and engineering majors-boarded a train that was headed for a technical convention.
[15:02.66]Each of the math majors had a ticket, but their engineering counterparts had only one ticket between them.
[15:10.51]The math majors were snickering at this when an engineering student shouted, "Here comes the conductor?"
[15:17.86]With that, all the engineering majors squeezed into a bathroom.
[15:23.62]The puzzled math students watched as the conductor collected their tickets, then knocked on the bathroom door and said, "Ticket please."
[15:33.01]The conductor took the single ticket that was passed under the door and left.
[15:38.74]Not to be outdone, the math students boarded the returning train with only one ticket,
[15:45.65]and again they laughed because this time their rivals had no ticket at all.
[15:52.49]When the engineering lookout yelled, "Conductor coming?" all the engineers crowded into one bathroom, while the math majors piled into another.
[16:04.51]Then, before the conductor entered the car, one of the engineers came out of his bathroom and knocked on the math majors' door.
