JANE: It's going to be different from school,isn't it!

TIM: Yeah,particularly the lectures.Have you got any special strategy for listening to lectures?

JANE: Well I'm going to use a cassette recorder and record them all.

TIM: What!Are you allowed to?

JANE: Sure.Lots of people do it nowadays.It means you can listen to the lectures all over again later,and make really good notes.

TIM: I couldn't do that.I like to take notes as I'm listening.I usually find I get all the important points.Reading is different of course.My approach is to skim the book first to see what's important and what isn't.It saves hours of time.

JANE: But what if you miss something?

TIM: You don't mean you're going to read every word,do you?

JANE: Well,that's what I usually do.

TIM: Well,that's up to you,but I think you're crazy!
