School Life 8

Occasionally, when McDonald and Tom went on the way to the department of Physics, they were just meeting Pierrot and John at lunch time.

McDonald: I have not communicated with you, since long and we want to know
       in what department you study.

Pierrot:      We’re studying chemistry, so John and I are on the way to college of
       Science and Engineering.  And you?

Tom:           We study in college of Science and Engineering, too.  But McDonald
       and I selected Physics.  Why I have never met you?

John:          I think that our classes are so far away, so that we never encounter.

McDonald: I feel so tired.  Going to learn to university.  Especially, I must
      continue English at university.

John:         But English is an international language over the world.  We must
      develop our ability to use the language well.

Tom:          Ah, sorry, we must leave, because of our class of physics.  We will
      start to do lab experiment.  So, see you next time.

McDonald: Me too.  Bye-Bye.

Pierrot:      Yeah!  Although we don’t major in English, we must learn English to
       understand what our textbooks said.

Tom:          We especially recite much proper terminology on physics.

John:          Some words have many meaning in different subjects.

McDonald: I’m hungry.  Let’s go for eating lunch.

Four people go to the restaurant

Tom:          Let’s take ice cream made by the department of food and nutrition
            after meal, all right?

Other people: Splendid!

Pierrot:      Let’s go to the Law and Business Dining Hall for cafeteria.

The four go to the restaurant

McDonald: Wow!  There are so many people here.

John:          Because the university has about twenty-two thousand students;
             there are so many people here at lunch time.

McDonald: All right!  You need a tray to take your food at cafeteria.  Besides, 
   prices here are cheaper.

Tom:          Oh, ouch!

Pierrot:      What’s wrong?

Tom:          I haven’t handed in my physics homework before 12:30.  I must go
             back to my dormitory and take my homework to our teaching
             assistant at physics.  Bye!

John:          I’ve heard of a quiz on calculus next Thursday, isn’t it?

Pierrot:     Really!  Although I study hard, I still have many questions on calculus.

John:         All right!  I can teach you what I have understood.

Pierrot:    Thank you, John!  You are really smart in our class.  You can get the
                  top.

John:         Quickly choose food.  People are waiting for us in line.

After ordering food, they return to seat and continue conversation.

McDonald: Since I have entered the Fu-Jen University, I though: although we  
   have much time to use at university, we are very likely to waste time.

Pierrot:      But as long as you use your time properly, you can learn many things
          either in the school or in the student associations.

John:         When you use time at university accurately, you can get many things
         you want.  For example, we can pass the exam; you can play well in
          the associations.

McDonald: Yes, such as associating with girlfriend.
