Conversation 2 长对话2 转校生
W: Good morning Mr. Lee, may I have a minute of your time?
M: Sure, Catherine. What can I do for you?
W: I’m quite anxious about transferring over to your college. I’m afraid I won’t fit in.
M: Don’t worry, Catherine. It’s completely normal for you to be nervous about transferring schools. This happens to many transfer students.
W: Yes, I know, but I’m younger than most students in my year and that worries me a lot.
M: Well, you may be the only younger one in your year, but you know we have a lot of afterschool activities you can join in, and so this way, you’ll be able to meet new friends of different age groups.
W: That’s nice! I love games and hobby groups.
M: I’m sure you do. So you will be just fine. Don’t worry so much and try to make the most of what we have on offer here. Also, remember you can come to me any time of the day if you need help.
W: Thanks so much. I definitely feel better now. As a matter of fact, I’ve already contacted one of the girls who’s been living in the same house with me, and she seems really nice. I guess living on campus, I’ll have a chance to have a close circle of friends since we’ll be living together.
M: All students are very friendly with new arrivals. Let me check who would be living with you in your flat. Okay, there hare Hannah, Kelly and Bree. Bree is also a new student here like you. I’m sure you two will have more to share with each other.
