Preparation

Transcript

Teacher: So, now you've got the important information, it's time to meet each other. Everyone turn to the people next to you and introduce yourselves.

Cara: So, hi. I'm Cara. And you are?

Robert: Robert.

Selim: Selim.

Cara: Nice to meet you!

Robert and Selim: You too.

Robert: Nice accent. Where are you from?

Cara: I'm from Glasgow.

Robert: Oh, really? My mum's from near Glasgow, so I'm half Scottish.

Cara: Cool. Do you live in Scotland?

Robert: No, we live in England, near Manchester. My dad's from there. What about you, Selim?

Selim: I'm from Leeds originally but I grew up near London.

Cara: Are you both doing history on its own?

Selim: No. I'm doing history and German.

Robert: I'm doing it with maths, actually.

Selim: History and maths. That's different!

Robert: Yeah, I couldn't decide between arts and sciences. Maths doesn't help with remembering dates, though! And you?

Cara: I'm doing history and French.

Selim: I wanted to do French but German was easier, so I took that.

Cara: German is so hard!

I love Languages and philosophy that help me much when I want to travel somewhere.

I like to study physics and anatomy

I would like to study written arts, I like to write

I finished school and even University so many years ago that's why I can't remember what I liked to study back then. History and Maths probably. But definitely not in the University. Maths there was totally a nightmare.

I like history, psychology and languages.

I like to study English language

I like to study history and physics

I like numbers a lot so my favourite subjects are mainly those related to them. It doesn't really matter if it's science or economy... as long as I deal with numbers, that will be fine!

This helps so much, thank you..
