1. 0:00Hi everyone! My name is Mia,
2. 0:02and today I’d like to tell you about my university.
3. 0:06I am a second-year business administration student.
4. 0:10The campus is quite large,
5. 0:13but I now know most of the main buildings
6. 0:16and classrooms.
7. 0:19The university is located
8. 0:21outside the busiest part of the city.
9. 0:24There are several bus stops near the main entrance,
10. 0:28and most students travel there by bus or train.
11. 0:32Some students live in apartments nearby,
12. 0:35while others stay in student housing.
13. 0:38I live with my family
14. 0:40and usually take a bus to campus.
15. 0:43The journey takes about forty minutes
16. 0:45when the roads are not crowded.
17. 0:49There are six main buildings on campus.
18. 0:52My classes are usually held in the business building,
19. 0:55which is a modern five-story building
20. 0:58near the front gate.
21. 1:00It has lecture halls, smaller classrooms,
22. 1:04computer rooms, and offices for the teachers.
23. 1:08Each floor has a different color sign,
24. 1:11which makes it easier for new students
25. 1:13to find the correct room.
26. 1:15Most lecture halls
27. 1:17are larger than the classrooms I had in high school.
28. 1:20Some of them can hold more than one hundred students.
29. 1:24They have rows of seats, large screens,
30. 1:28microphones, and projectors.
31. 1:31During lectures, I usually sit somewhere in the middle.
32. 1:35I can see the screen clearly,
33. 1:37and I do not feel as nervous
34. 1:39as I would in the front row.
35. 1:42My weekly schedule is different each day.
36. 1:45On Monday,
37. 1:46I have classes in marketing and business communication.
38. 1:50Tuesday is usually my busiest day
39. 1:53because I have three classes,
40. 1:55including accounting.
41. 1:57On Wednesday morning, I study economics,
42. 2:00and I often have group work in the afternoon.
43. 2:04My Thursday classes begin later,
44. 2:06so I sometimes arrive early and study in the library.
45. 2:11I do not have classes every Friday,
46. 2:13but I may go to campus for meetings or assignments.
47. 2:18Accounting is the most difficult subject for me
48. 2:21because small mistakes can change the final answer.
49. 2:25I prefer business communication,
50. 2:27where we practice writing emails,
51. 2:29preparing reports, and giving presentations.
52. 2:34Many university assignments are completed in groups.
53. 2:38At the beginning, group projects were a little confusing
54. 2:42because everyone had a different schedule.
55. 2:45My group normally creates an online chat,
56. 2:48divides the work, and chooses a meeting time.
57. 2:52We often meet in a study room at the library.
58. 2:56These rooms have tables, chairs,
59. 2:58whiteboards, and screens for presentations.
60. 3:03The university library is one of the largest buildings
61. 3:06on campus.
62. 3:08The first floor has a help desk,
63. 3:10computers, and an area where students can talk quietly.
64. 3:15The upper floors are quieter
65. 3:17and have long rows of desks.
66. 3:20There are books about business, science, history,
67. 3:24technology, languages, and many other subjects.
68. 3:28I usually use online materials,
69. 3:31but I sometimes borrow a book
70. 3:33when I need detailed information
71. 3:34for an assignment.
72. 3:37There is also a cafeteria beside the library.
73. 3:40It becomes very busy around noon.
74. 3:43It serves rice dishes, pasta, sandwiches,
75. 3:47soup, salads,
76. 3:49fruit, coffee, and cold drinks.
77. 3:53I often bring lunch from home
78. 3:55because the line can be long.
79. 3:57When I buy food,
80. 3:59I usually choose a sandwich or a simple pasta dish.
81. 4:03My classmates and I eat together
82. 4:05when our schedules match.
83. 4:08Near the center of the campus,
84. 4:09there is a large open area with trees,
85. 4:12benches, and walking paths.
86. 4:15Student clubs sometimes set up tables there
87. 4:18to introduce their activities.
88. 4:20The university has clubs for music, sports,
89. 4:24art, volunteering,
90. 4:26technology, and public speaking.
91. 4:29I joined the business club this year.
92. 4:32We meet twice a month
93. 4:34and sometimes invite people from different companies
94. 4:36to speak about their work.
95. 4:39University life requires me to manage my time
96. 4:42and keep track of deadlines.
97. 4:45My days are often busy with lectures,
98. 4:47group projects, and study sessions in the library.
99. 4:52Although each day is different,
100. 4:54the university has become a familiar part of my routine.
101. 5:10Communication is the way people share information, ideas, or feelings with each other.
102. 5:17Mia studied business communication because she wanted to write better emails and reports.
103. 5:31Assignments are pieces of schoolwork or tasks that students must complete.
104. 5:38Mia wrote her assignment dates on her laptop so she would not forget them.
105. 5:51If something is confusing, it is difficult to understand.
106. 5:56The accounting lesson was confusing at first because there were many numbers and rules.
107. 6:10To divide means to separate something into parts or groups.
108. 6:16The teacher divides the class into small groups for discussion.
109. 6:28A cafeteria is a place where people buy and eat food, especially in a school, university, or office.
110. 6:37Mia often has lunch with her classmates in the university cafeteria.
111. 6:50To invite means to ask someone to come to an event or join an activity.
112. 6:56Her classmates invited her to study with them after class.
113. 7:08To keep track of something means to remember or check important information regularly.
114. 7:15Mia uses her laptop to keep track of her timetable and deadlines.
115. 7:28Economics is the study of money, business, trade, and how people use resources.
116. 7:36Mia found economics interesting because it helped her understand prices and jobs.
