3. What problems did Allen have with her roommate?
4. What did Brenden think about his first year at college?
5. What does the social calendar of the college provide him?
She went out with her new friends, walking around campus.

Because at the party everyone was busy playing some games and no one
seemed to notice her.
Her roommate left the window open when it was cold outside. She went
to bed early. She blamed Ellen for making her sick.
He thought the first year at college was the best and the most
challenging of his life.
It provides him a lot of opportunities to meet non –engineering students as
well as other engineers and many of them have become his best friends.

III. After you read :
Discuss the question: “Is getting higher education important to
you? Why? Why not?”
Important
-It helps to get well-paid jobs
- It helps to broaden
knowledge.
It helps you to work better
-It’s easy for you to get
promotion.
- There is often a big
difference in salary between
the directors and workers.
Suggested ideas:
Not important
- More skilled workers are needed
than engineers in the present
situation of our country.
- Young people can help their
family out with money at home
when they go to work.

- They can attend in – service
schools to further their education.

much for your
