NARRATOR：

Listen to a conversation between two students. They are both studying to be English teachers.

FEMALE STUDENT：

Did you register already for your classes next semester?

MALE STUDENT：

Yes, I did.

FEMALE STUDENT：

What did you taking?

MALE STUDENT：

Um... contemporary literature, English style, um... the teaching seminar, and I still have to do my student teaching.

I'm gonna help teach a writing class of the junior high.

FEMALE STUDENT：

That's a heavy schedule.

MALE STUDENT：

Yeah, it will be really busy and I'm also taking a theory class. But I have to quit my job in a couple of weeks ,cause it will be just too much.

FEMALE STUDENT：

Where do you work at?

MALE STUDENT：

Buster's coffee shop, but just till the end of the month. What are you doing next semester?

FEMALE STUDENT：

Actually a teaching seminar too. And I will have to start writing my thesis. You know, I'm also going for my master's degree.

MALE STUDENT：

So you are not writing any poetry, I imagine.

FEMALE STUDENT：

No, I was actually thinking about revising some of my poems and sending them into places for publication.

MALE STUDENT：

Cool, you should. Um, did you hear about that new poetry club, The Poetry Kitchen?

FEMALE STUDENT：

Yeah, no time.

MALE STUDENT：

It's fun. It's Sunday night. You don't do anything at Sunday nights?

FEMALE STUDENT：

I do homework Sunday nights.

MALE STUDENT：

Well, it’s only from 7:00 to 9:00.

FEMALE STUDENT：

Is it every Sunday?

MALE STUDENT：

Last Sunday of every month. I don't know about this month, cause it's probably a little too close to Thanksgiving, so they might move it up.

I don't know what they are gonna do, but it's a good time, it's fun, some really impressive readings.

FEMALE STUDENT：

Who? From our class?

MALE STUDENT：

Some people from our class are reading. A lot of them go, sometimes even the professor.

FEMALE STUDENT：

Really? I don't know if I would wanna read in front of her.

MALE STUDENT：

You wouldn't have to read, you can just watch. I just watched the first time, but it's a good environment to read them, I think anyway.

FEMALE STUDENT：

I probably have to write something new, so maybe during the summer, I just can't now.

MALE STUDENT：

Yeah, it wouldn't be the same just reading old stuff. Are you gonna do summer school?

FEMALE STUDENT：

Definitely. Otherwise, I will be short 6 credits, I have no choice.

MALE STUDENT：

Yeah, me too. This is the second summer I'll have to take classes. I gotta go now, my Shakespeare class starts in twenty minutes.
