Unit 1-1课后练习答案

Unit 1 Topic 1Task 3 Audio scriptLet me briefly explain how tomorrow’s registration will go. In the morning, all students are to report to the gym with their completed course and enrollment forms. These forms must be signed by your advisor and each course listed must get the department’s approval. Tables will be set up all the way around the north end of the gym for different departments. So you simply go to the desk and have someone there stamp your form. When you have completed that for all your courses, you can go on to step to the desk at the south end of the gym. There you will have to pay fees for education, housing and insurance. You are not considered officially enrolled in the university until you have paid all the fees. In the afternoon all new students must return to the gym to have their photos taken and to pick up their student ID cards. Any problems or questions that you may have about registration should be answered by the teacher on duty at the gym tomorrow.Task 41. Orientation Day Address ——迎新演讲orientation n.
