What Is Your School Day Like English Conversation Lesson

[Music]

school days

dialogue celine is dutch

she is on a student exchange to america

there she meets jessica one of the

regular students

at the school jessica offers to show

celine around the campus

and help her get used to life at an

american

university hello

you must be celine right very nice to

meet you

my name is jessica i was assigned to be

your guide during your stay here

were you informed about that yes

i received an email with your

information before my flight

really nice to meet you too i was just

about to go look for you after i

finished unpacking i’m sorry you had to

come find me

oh don’t worry about it i was excited to

meet a new friend so i rushed here as

soon as i heard you arrived

ah that’s really sweet would you like to

come in

i’ve got one more suitcase to unpack

than i’m done

[Music]

sure do you need any help it’s all good

i just

need to put these shirts away wow

that shirt is bright orange interesting

choice

i wouldn’t normally choose this color

for myself but

it is important to us dutch people we

all wear it on king’s day

what is king’s day it is essentially our

monarch’s birthday

we all get a day off and dress up in

orange of course

to celebrate that sounds fun

i imagine there would be a lot of

drinking yes

oh yes a lot of it 18

is the legal age to consume alcohol in

our country

so we college students can also

participate

i see here you need to be at least 21.

i’m sure there are many other fun

activities though right

definitely you know what why don’t you

finish unpacking then i’ll show you

around the campus

it is very big so i think giving you a

tour now

would ensure you don’t get lost in the

next few months

that would be lovely just give me a

minute

so this is the cafeteria where you can

get your daily meals

wow it’s so nice that the cafeteria is

right next to the dorm

so convenient i agree it’s a buffet as

well

you can buy a meal plan for the whole

year and just go in and get your food

it’s different in the netherlands we

normally have to rent rooms outside of

the campus and cook for ourselves

the cafeterias are more for snacks and

drinks

they do sell meals as well but they are

rather expensive and

offered limited dishes you must spend a

lot of time cooking them

yes it is very time consuming but also

can be

a fun activity when friends are over

still i wouldn’t be able to do that

myself

students can choose to rent apartments

outside of the campus here too

but because i am a terrible cook i don’t

think that’s a good option for me

i wasn’t good at cooking either but you

just have to learn

i know but maybe after college

this is our school stadium it’s really

huge

yes college football is very popular in

the us

and our school’s team is pretty strong

there’s a game night next week you

should come

i will i heard it’s a lot of fun we

don’t really have such events in the

netherlands

oh really what sports do you guys play

there then

i’m not too sure i only heard rowing is

pretty big among the people in my school

but they normally form teams outside of

the school so there are no

game nights that’s too bad

they are really fun you know what my

friends and i are all going we plan to

go get fast food after the game as well

do you want to join oh my god yes

thank you for inviting me of course

i can’t wait to introduce you to the

rest of the group they’re all really

chill

i think you’ll fit in just fine

that sounds nice will you please text me

the exact time and date

definitely i’ll do it after we finish

this tour

[Music]

okay here we go my least favorite place

in the entire school

the library duh i only ever go here when

i need to cram for exams

and those times are not particularly

enjoyable

do you know how many all-nighters i

pulled last semester

no but don’t tell me i don’t want to

know

me neither talking about it gives me

nightmares

what about you don’t tell me you like

the library

i wouldn’t say so but i don’t hate it

either

i actually don’t go there to study much

because it is normally not open 24 7

like it is here

i prefer to stay home and study at my

own desk

oh i can’t do that i would constantly be

distracted

yes some of my friends are like that as

well but i find studying at home quite

relaxing because it is quiet

and i can move around as much as i want

without bothering others

good point one time i forgot to plug in

my headphones and my music started

playing out loud when i was in the

library

it was one of the most embarrassing

moments of my life

ah it’s okay i’m sure people understood

yeah well i got over it do you want to

go to the library together to study

sometime though

it can be a good group activity sure

i think we can even book our own room in

the library right

yes but we have to be quick if not

there’s normally a long line for that

let me know when you want to go i’m

always up for it

[Music]

great time here celine
