Script:
Listen to a conversation between a student and a professor.
W: Hey, professor,
M: Hi Kim. What’s up?
W: I want to go on the summer trip. I’ve always wanted to study the Great Barrier Reef. I can′t believe that our school is sending students out there.
M: Sign up!
W: I would, but, well, I don’t think I can afford it.
M: Why not? Aren’t you working?
W: Yes, but pretty much all of my paycheck goes to either books or rent.
M: Do you know about the Good Student Scholarship?
W: No. What’s that?
M: It′s a scholarship specifically for students traveling to foreign countries. You need at least a 3.0 GPA. What’s your GPA?
W: Umm ... I think I have a 3.7.
M: Well, you definitely should apply. The scholarship is easy to fill out, and they award it to about 10 students a semester. Go to the scholarship office. The applications are there.
W: Really?
M: I’ll even write you a recommendation. I really want you to go on this trip.
W: Thanks Professor. I appreciate all of the information.
