Listen to Dialog
Do not view the questions until after you have listened to the audio file.
Reading the questions first will not help you improve your English listening
skills.
Step 2: Quiz - View Questions

1. He can register any time afterwards, but most of the classes will be full
2. Because the class is very big with many seats
3. Find the professor and get permission
4. Because many students drop out of the class
If you are uncertain about the answers to the questions, listen to the audio
file again after having read the questions. After you have made all your
selections, you may view the answers to see how you did.
Step 3: Show Conversation Dialog
A: "Hey Mike. I forgot about registration. I'm a day late, so all the
classes are mostly full. What do you think I should do?"
B: "You're screwed. You can't do anything about that. You have to hope
that you get some classes that will be useful."
A: "Do you think going to the registration building will help at
all."
B: "No. They will tell you the same thing in a worse way."
A: "Did you register yet?"
B: "Of course. Registering for classes is not something you want to
miss."
A: "What classes do you think are still open?"
B: "Well, I know psychology 101 is a big class, so there will always be
seats in that class. You can also get into Sociology."
A: "That's helpful. Thanks. But what do you think about philosophy. I
wanted to take that class this semester."
B: "I took that class last year. The professor is really cool, so if you
go to his office, you can have him sign a card that will let you in even if the
class is full."
A: "He does that?"
B: "I guess that's because so many people drop out of that class."
A: "That makes sense. I think I'll do that. Thanks for all the help."
B: "No problem man."
You should read the Conversation Dialog to help you study after going through
the listening lesson. Do not view the Conversation Dialog prior to listening to
the audio, or prior to answering all the questions.
