Understanding the Purpose of Speech in Campus Interaction
Listen to the following conversation between a new student, Nathan, and a senior student, Lisa, at the university:
Nathan: Hi there! I’ve just transferred here and I’m trying to get a feel for the campus. What would you say is the most important thing to know as a new student?
Lisa: Welcome! One key thing to remember is to engage with your professors. They are really approachable and can provide valuable insights into your classes.
Nathan: That’s helpful! Any other tips?
Lisa: Yes! Also, get involved in student organizations. It’s a great way to meet people and build your network.
Nathan: Sounds good! I’ll definitely look into that.
Lisa: And don’t forget about the campus events; they can be a lot of fun and are excellent for making new friends!
