【正确答案】 A

【答案解析】[听力原文] S=Sally A=Adam S: In recent years, more and more foreign students have come to the UK to study. But when they first arrive, many students are not sure of the formalities they have to follow and where to go for help. So we have Adam McLean from the British Council today to give some advice. Adam, first of all, where do overseas students get help when they come across problems at college? A: The Welfare Office of the Student Union could provide students with advice and information on all aspects of college life and living in the UK. The college also has a counselor for overseas students who would look after the interest of foreign students specifically. They could also put you in contact with overseas students' societies and organizations which are usually run by overseas students. So there's quiet an extensive support service for the students, and new students shouldn't feel they have to tackle problems alone. S: So what formalities should overseas students complete upon first arriving? A: One important thing is to register with the police. The stamp which will be put in the student's passport by the immigration officer shows whether or not they are required to intend to stay in the UK for less than six months, you should not register with the police. S: So not all students coming from abroad have to register with the police, but if you are not from an EEC or Common Wealth country, probably you must register. A: That's right. If you are required to register with the police, you must do so within seven days of your arrival. You must also inform the police when you change your address while you are in the United Kingdom. S: Well, what do you have to bring for registration? A: You should take you passport and two passport-sized photos of yourself. If you live in London, you should go to 10 Lambs Conduit Street, London WCI. It opens at 9 a.m. to 5 p.m., Monday till Friday. If you live in other parts of the country, you should go to the nearest police station for advice on where to register. There will be a charge of 25 pounds for registration. S: All right. So, the passport, two passport-sized photos and 25 pounds. A: Well, another important thing is that holders of student visas aren't usually entitled to claim state benefit or to work. Attempting to do so might influence your fight to stay in UK. You may be prosecuted and fined 500 pounds, it will say whether you are entitled to get a job in the UK or not on your visa. S: So that's something non-resident students should know. Working without permission in Britain is a criminal offence. But if they are qualified to get a job in the UK, how do they find one? A: If you are allowed to work, you need to get forms OW1 and OW5. These can be picked up at any Job Center, where work permits for students coming from abroad could be issued. The OW1 form is filled out by the prospective employer and returned to the Job Center together with your passport and a letter from your college showing the employment will not interfere with your studies. If you look for work experience of practical learning, you must get forms OW21 and OW22 from the Work Experience Section of the Department of Employment. You will be asked for proof of the purpose and the length to stay here and that you are going to return to your native country. S: I hope that will answer some questions for overseas students. Thank you very much for coming in, Adam.
