II. While you read
Three students talk about the first impressions of the
university life. Read the passage and then do the tasks
that follow

Sarah: On the first weekend I went out with my new friends, walking around
campus. It was exciting , thinking how I was at college, meeting people who could
become good friends of mine. The most exciting thing was that I didn’t have to explain
to my parents where I was going , who with, or what time I’d be home. On Saturday
night, I followed my roommate to a party. The people at the party were busy playing
some games, and no one seemed to notice my existence. I suddenly felt so lonely.
Fighting back tears, I ran back to my room, thinking I would never feel at home at
college.
Ellen: My room mate left the window open all the time, even when it was
10 degrees Celsius out, and went to bed at 10 every night. When she got sick after
midterms, she blamed my typing and having a light on while she was trying to sleep.
At first, college was a little daunting. I graduated from a small school. After seeing the
same people over and over for many years, it was amazing, but a little scary, to be in

place where it seemed like I never saw the same person twice.
Brenden: The first year at college was probably the best and most challenging
year of my life. Academically, I enjoyed it thoroughly . Taking part in the advanced
Engineering project gave me a chance to use my creativity and knowledge to help
society. Socially, I made lots of new friends both through engineering and living at St
John’s College on campus. The social calendar of the colleges provides plenty of
opportunities to meet non- engineering students as well as other engineers
,
, many of
whom have become my best mates.
