W: The wind is really strong today, Kevin. It blew some trucks over and a tree fell onto my car.

W: Hi, Max. How's your weekend going?
M: Hi, Sophie. It's pretty good! I just finished a cooking class! How about you?

W: May I see some hats, please?
M: Sure! What style are you interested in, a baseball hat or a sun hat?

M: Hey, Amanda, you look good today.
W: Yeah, I've just finished a workout in the gym. Now I'm feeling energized!
M: That's great! I've been planning to begin an exercise routine. Any tips?
W: Definitely, William! Setting small goals can make your performance more measurable, and finding a workout partner can make exercise more enjoyable.
M: That makes sense. I've actually joined a golf club, but that tiny white ball is more challenging to hit than I expected.
W: It's all about practice. Just keep at it!

M: Why are you still awake, Emma? Did you drink too much coffee?
W: No, I've been struggling to sleep lately.
M: Why?
W: I have several exams this week and a group project to work on. I don't feel I have enough time to prepare.
M: When is your next exam?
W: On Thursday, I'll have the math exam.
M: It's only Tuesday. You still have time to review. Maybe you can try some exercises to get relaxed.
W: I struggled a bit with yesterday's English exam. The math course is more difficult, so I don't have time for anything else.
M: Taking a break is important, Emma. Studying non-stop won't be effective.
W: You're right. I usually end up staring at my computer or checking emails instead of studying.
M: Then let me show you a simple movement to help you sleep. Sit down like this, bend over and breathe in deeply.
W: OK. I'll try it. Thanks!

W: Mike, my father and I have been discussing success and what leads to it. He mentioned the element of luck was vital, so what do you think about it?
M: Actually, I think differently, Stella. Remember that speech by Richard John? He didn't mention luck at all. He believes people can make their own luck if they make efforts.
W: Some people think luck depends on how you respond to opportunities.
M: I remember when our teacher talked about success factors in class, he emphasized that seizing opportunities is crucial. But for me, being good at something is key to success.
W: Absolutely. Besides that, some of our classmates believe passion is also important.
M: I agree. If you love what you do and work hard, success follows naturally.
W: That's a great point. But I think having a clear target to work toward is essential among all these factors. When you know what you want, it's easier to stay focused and motivated.

W: Have you tried Chinese food, Ethan?
M: Yes, Alice. The flavor of Chinese food is different from that of Western food, but I'm used to it. And you absolutely can't imagine how many types of Chinese food there are. There are numerous eating choices as the Chinese have a rich and long diet history.
W: What Chinese dishes have you tasted?
M: I tried Mapo Tofu, Sweet and Sour Pork, and Kung Pao Chicken at the airport. Mapo Tofu is delicious but it's too hot. Kung Pao Chicken suits my personal taste well.
W: Have you tried traditional Chinese dumplings?
M: Of course. There are many dumpling shops, and I've even tried making them myself, though I'm not good at it.
W: They are very tasty. However, they're hard to eat with chopsticks.
M: But if you can do that, it'll impress your Chinese friends! By the way, can you tell me what is worth trying in this restaurant? I'd like to try more Chinese dishes, but I can't read the menu here. It's written in Chinese and my Chinese still needs to be improved.
W: Sure. You can't leave without trying Beijing Roast Duck. It's the specialty.

Today, I want to talk about something that can enhance your college experience. They're not just for fun; they're tools for your improvement and development, and contribute to future success. Activities in college come in many forms, from sports clubs to debate teams, from the student union to volunteer organizations.
If you want to broaden your cultural horizons, you can join the drama club to perform in plays, or the music club to play instruments and sing. Through some activities, you can also apply what you learn to real-world situations. Take activities related to learning and other academic experiences, for example. There are lectures where you can listen to professors sharing their insights. Besides, you can join study groups to discuss course content. These have always been a favorite with business majors, who can participate in a case study competition, applying theories to real business problems.
Before you choose the activities to engage in, think about your own interests, as this will ensure that you are passionate and motivated to participate actively. Then go ahead, and sign up. Your college experience will be richer.
