　　TPO 2 Conversation 2

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

　　Girl :  Did you register already for your classes next semester?

　　Boy :  Yes, I did.

　　Girl :  What are you taking?

　　Boy :  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.

　　Girl :  That's a heavy schedule.

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

　　Girl :  Where do you work at?

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

　　Girl :  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.

　　Boy :  So you are not writing any poetry, I imagine.

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

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

　　Girl :  Yeah, no time.

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

　　Girl :  I do homework Sunday nights.

　　Boy :  Well, it's only from 7 to 9.

　　Girl :  Is it every Sunday?

　　Boy :  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 to do, but it's a good time, it's fun, some really impressive readings.

　　Girl :  Who? From our class?

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

　　Girl :  Really? I don't know if I would want reading in front of her.

　　Boy :  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.

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

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

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

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