LISTENING EXERCISE 1. PASSAGE ONE //Page 128 An Engineering Course// Questions 1 and 2. Listen as a student consults with a professor. //(student)// Professor, I have a question about taking the engineering course that you'll be teaching. I already took this course once, but I didn't do very well in it, and I'd like to take it over again. //(professor)// Why do you want to try it again? Do you think you can do better this time? //(student)// Well, I understood about half of the material last time, and if I concentrate on the rest of the material, I think I can do much better next time. //(professor)// It's ... uh ... possible to repeat a course to try for a higher grade, as long as the appropriate form is filled out. //(student)// I've got the form right here, and I've already filled out most of it. All I need is your signature at the bottom. //(professor)// That's fine. You really do seem prepared. Give me the form, and I’ll sign it. 1. WHY DOES THE STUDENT GO TO SEE THE PROFESSOR? 2.
