GAP-FILLING
Jack: Hi, Mary, got time for a coffee? I'd love to [......................................]what courses I should
take. I’m so [......................................].

Mary: So am I. But maybe we can work something out together, Jack. We should really talk
about this with our [......................................][......................................], but she's away until Thursday,
which might make it a bit late to [......................................] for some of the more popular
[......................................].

Jack: That's my worry, It's lucky we're doing the same [......................................], so some of our
courses will be the same and we can [......................................] in together. What did your parents
say when you told them you would be an English major?

Mary: Well, dad thinks I'm [......................................]. "You’ll never find a [......................................] job
when you graduate. Teacher or [......................................], that's about all you'll be good for!" But
he's an engineer, so what would he know?

Jack: What about your mum?

Mary: Oh, she loves reading and has dreams of me becoming a great [......................................] or
something. So she's all for it. What about your parents?

Jack: Actually, they agree. They're both teachers, and are always [......................................] about
the [......................................] English of most of their students. They blame it on computers,
computer games, to be [......................................]. Very few of their students ever read novels,

Mary: Anyway, let's have a look at some of these courses. I thought of taking
[......................................]. People say it'll train my [......................................] and help with
[......................................] and [......................................], as well as English.

Jack: I think that's [......................................]. It's a dead language. If you want to learn
[......................................] or [......................................] or something, then learn it directly. I did Latin at
high school, and apart from helping me guess the meaning of some new words with a
[......................................][......................................], it was a waste of time, Leave Latin to
[......................................] and [......................................].

 LESSON 05
Mary: Guess you're right. OK. No Latin. Actually, I'm playing with the idea of doing
[......................................] later. Foreign languages are always useful for a [......................................].
Maybe I’ll take [......................................][......................................],

Jack: That's exactly what I was thinking. What are the [......................................] times?

Mary: Let me see. French 100. Nine to twelve Monday mornings in

[......................................][......................................] and two till five Thursday afternoons in lecture hall
think they're both in the Arts [......................................] building.

Jack: They are. I checked the language lab out yesterday. Very modem, and not too big. Room
for about 30, so the teacher will have more time for [......................................]. Not like that
[......................................]place in my old school. OK, French 100 it is. What next? I was thinking
about Creative Writing 201. What do you think?

Mary: That's one of our set courses, stupid. We have to take it, along with History of English,
Early American Literature and [......................................] 100.

Jack: [......................................] I forgot. So, including French, we'll be doing five courses this term.
How many classroom hours is that [......................................]?

Mary: Let's see. History of English, three hours every Tuesday morning. American Lit, two till
five Tuesday afternoons. Creative Writing, nine till twelve Wednesday mornings.
[......................................], two till five Friday afternoons. That makes 18, including three hours in
the language lab.

Jack: Sounds enough to me, [......................................] in our first term. And the times won't
[......................................] with mv [......................................] team [......................................]. All work, no play
makes Jack a dull boy.

Mary: You certainly need that Creative Writing course! Let's drink our coffee.
