Can I help you?
|
|
Student
|
Yes, I'm a new student and I was told to start today. Where should I go?
|
|
Receptionist
|
|
Ah yes. Well, take this information booklet first. It
tells you about the school, the various courses we provide as well as some of
the social activities you can join in. And this is the programme for this
morning which starts at 9.30.
|
Example
9.30
|
|
All new students will first assemble in the Meeting Room
where you'll be introduced to the staff. So you should go there
first.
|
Q1
|
|
|
Student
|
Where is that then?
|
|
Receptionist
|
I'll tell you in a moment. But let me just fill you in on the
details of this morning's activities.
|
|
Student
|
OK then.
|
|
Receptionist
|
|
Firstly the Director of Studies will talk to you
about the different courses and their particular requirements. This
should last for about half an hour.
|
Q2
|
|
After that the Student Accommodation Officer will talk
about the accommodation and other services that we offer.
|
Q3
|
|
Then there'll be a short break after which you'll be taken to
Classroom 3 at about 11 o'clock for a placement test.
|
Q4
|
|
|
Student
|
Oh, I didn't know I'd have to take a test.
|
|
Receptionist
|
|
Well, it's not like an exam, it's just a diagnostic test
to help us find your level of English and put you in the right class.
|
Q5
|
|
|
Student
|
Right. So how do I get to the Meeting Room?
|
|
Receptionist
|
|
There's a map of the school with the papers I gave you -
that's it there. You see here is the main entrance to the Centre where you came
in, and we're here at the reception desk. You turned left at the entrance to
come here. To get to the Meeting Room you have to go back along this
corridor and past the main entrance. You can see it's marked on the map here.
|
Q6
|
|
Follow the corridor to the end, go past the Language Lab and
the Multimedia room which is opposite, and the Meeting Room is
there on the right. You're sure to find it.
|
Q7
|
|
|
Student
|
So it's opposite the Multimedia room on the right.
|
|
Receptionist
|
Yes, you can't miss it.
|
|
Student
|
OK, that seems straightforward. And is there a library where I can study?
|
|
Receptionist
|
|
Yes of course. The main study area and library is in
the opposite direction from the Meeting Room. Go straight through from the
reception desk here and turn left at the end of the corridor. Go through
the door and you'll find the library immediately on your left.
|
Q8
|
|
|
Student
|
And if I need to find a teacher to talk to where should I go? Is there a staff
room?
|
|
Receptionist
|
|
Well, there isn't a single staff room as such, teachers have
different offices located in the next corridor through the doors by the Meeting
Room. Go past the main entrance and follow the corridor to the end. Go
through the doors and you'll find the staff offices along there.
Which office you go to depends on who you want to see, so you need to find out
from your teachers which offices they occupy.
|
Q9
|
|
|
Student
|
Just one more question. Is there a common room for students?
|
|
Receptionist
|
|
Oh yes of course - that's important. There's a student
common room just opposite the library entrance. Go down this same
corridor as if you're going to the library, and it's on the right.
|
Q10
|
|
|
Student
|
OK, fine. Thanks very much. Now I better head for the Meeting Room.
|
|
Receptionist
|
If you have any other queries you can always come back and
ask me.
|
|
Student
|
Right, thanks, I will.
