Please read the transcript as if you were a real senior student (female speaker needed), but do not speak so fast. Thank you.
Listen to a talk given to a group of new international students.
Hi! Welcome to State College! My name is Suzanne Irish, and I’m a senior here at the College, studying Business and Administration. I’m originally from New York, but I’ve grown to love Vermont very much, so I consider it my home – and I hope that you will, too.
I work for the International Student Advisor, Mrs. Stoke, whom you have just had the pleasure of meeting. If you have a problem and need assistance, you can always call or find me. I’m in Mrs. Stake’s office from about 3:00-6:00 p.m. or you can call me at home. My home number is listed in the folder I’ve just passed out.
Let’s look together at that folder now. In the left side pocket, you will find information about the College, including important schedules and phone numbers. Please note the hours that the cafeteria is open for breakfast, lunch, and dinner. Also, notice that the bookstore opens at 8:30 a.m. and that it closes at 4:30 p.m. sharp. A piece of advice: The hours never change, so don’t plan on going to the bookstore after 4:30. Also included in this side of your folder are descriptions and schedules for the classes you’ll be taking. Another piece of advice: Try to be on time to class. You might want to set your watch ahead by ten minutes if you are the type of person that always runs late.
On the right hand side of the folder, I have placed tourist pamphlets on Vermont for you to read or save for your parents when they come to visit you. I especially recommend the Blue Map of Vermont and the Seasonal Guide because they both give information on a wide range of restaurants, museums, and attractions in Vermont. If you would like to discuss any of the attractions with me, I’m always available.
Oh, we’ve run out of time! We should get ready to go on our campus tour.
[Please pause about 5-10 seconds between questions.]
