听力题 Receptionist; English Language Center. How may I help you? Caller: Hello. I''m calling to find out more information about your program. For example, what kind of courses do you offer? Receptionist: Well, first of all, the purpose of our program is to provide language learning opportunities to this area''s community, whether a student''s goal is to master basic functional language skills, let''s say, for his or her job, or to study intensively to enter a US college or university. Caller: Okay. I''m calling for a friend who is interested in attending a US university. Receptionist: And that''s the kind of, uh, instruction that we provide, from basic communication courses to content—based classes such as computer literacy, intercultural communication, and business English. Caller: Great. What are your application deadline for the next semester? Receptionist: Well, we ask applicants to apply no later than two months before the semester begins. [ Uh-hum ] This gives us time to process the application and the student''s I-20. Caller: An I-20? Receptionist: Oh, an I-20 is a form that indicates that we are giving permission for the student to study in our program, and then the student takes this form to the US embassy in his or her home country to apply for the F-l student visa. Caller: All right. What is the tuition for a full-time student? Receptionist: It''s two thousand thirty dollars. Caller: And how does one apply? Receptionist: Well, we can send you an application and you can mail it back to us, or you can fill out our application that''s on our Web site. Caller: Great. Thank you for your help. Receptionist: No problem and please don''t hesitate to call again if you have any other questions. Caller: Okay. Goodbye.
