【Listening Cafe】 1. decide 2. friendly, good
3. confused, dorm 4. comfortable 5. Fridays
6. party animal
听力原文
University life is a new and different experience for me. First of all, living at the university gives me a sense of being on my own. My parents aren’t around to say, “No, you’re not going out tonight.” I decide everything for myself. Second, being around lots of friendly people makes me feel good. On my first day, when I arrived on campus, I was a bit confused about where I was going. A senior student noticed that I was looking for my dorm, he said, “Oh, just follow me; that’s where I’m going.” Now, I can really say that I feel comfortable in the dorm because there are so many friendly people around to talk with. Finally, we don’t have classes on Fridays! I love sleeping in on Fridays. Sometimes I go out to join parties. I guess I’m sort of a party animal.
