JANE: What's your first lecture on,anyway?

TIM: Oh,it's a lecture on the French Revolution.

JANE: The French Revolution!How boring!

TIM: It's not boring at all!It was an amazing period of history.It changed everything in Europe.So what's your first lecture about?

JANE: It's about animal behaviour.It sounds really interesting.

TIM: Look,I was on my way to the library.I'm going to get some of these books out and start reading for the first essay I've got to write.

JANE: And what have you got to write about?

TIM: Well,you'll never believe it,I think our professor must have a sense of humour.He's given us the title "Why study history?"

JANE: That's a good one.When you find the answer,let me know!

TIM: I'm going to enjoy writing it.Have you been given any writing assignments yet?

JANE: Yes,I've got to write about animal language.

TIM: Hmmm!That sounds a challenge.I suppose you'll be off to the zoo to do field research.
