大一英语口语对话：大学生活初体验
A: Hi, Lucy! How’s your first semester going? I feel like we haven’t talked much since the term started.
B: Hey, Mike! It’s been quite an adjustment, but I’m getting used to it now. The classes here are definitely more challenging than what I expected. For example, last week in my English Literature class, we had to analyze Shakespeare's Hamlet. It was tough at first because I wasn’t familiar with all the literary terms, but after discussing it with my classmates, things became clearer.
A: That sounds intense! I can relate. My Calculus course has been giving me nightmares too. But you know what helps? Joining clubs and meeting new people. Have you joined any student organizations yet?
B: Yes, actually! I joined the Debate Club. It’s been awesome so far. Not only do I get to practice public speaking, but it also forces me to think critically about current events. Last week, we debated whether technology is making us lazier or smarter. It was eye-opening to hear different perspectives from everyone.
A: Cool! I joined the Photography Club. Taking pictures around campus is such a great way to relax between assignments. And guess what? I met this amazing girl named Sarah who shares my passion for photography. We even went on a photo walk together over the weekend!
B: That’s awesome! Finding friends through shared interests really makes college life more enjoyable. By the way, how are you managing your time? With everything happening—classes, clubs, and social activities—I sometimes worry about falling behind.
A: Good point. Time management has been key for me. I use apps like Trello to organize my schedule and set reminders for deadlines. Also, I’ve learned that saying “no” is okay when there’s too much going on. It’s better to focus on quality rather than quantity.
B: Totally agree. Speaking of focus, have you tried joining study groups? Some of my friends swear by them—they help keep each other accountable and explain concepts they might not fully understand.
A: Yeah, I’ve thought about it. Maybe I’ll join one next semester. Right now, I’m just trying to balance everything without burning out. Oh, and by the way, there’s this international food festival coming up next month. You should come along if you’re free!
B: Love the idea! Exploring different cultures through food always sounds fun. Let’s definitely go together. Anyway, it’s great chatting with you, Mike. I hope you continue enjoying your college journey!
A: Thanks, Lucy! Same to you. Catch you later!
