KAPLANのTOEFL Listening Practice CD-ROM



CD1 Lecture 17 (Campus Life & Popular Culture)

Listen to part of talks given by a tour guide on a college campus.

Hi, my name is Robert, and I will be your Miller college tour guide today.

We only have 20 minutes before we have to go to the orientation lecture, so we will be speaking constantly and quickly as we cover as much of the campus ground as we can.

But please don’t be shy. If you have any questions, don’t hesitate to interrupt me at any point, just jump right in.

And for those of you want to see more of the campus, I’ll meet you in front of the building after the talk is completed.

Okay, let’s begin.

First of all, on our left here you can see “Batson Library”, the main library on the campus.

Batson was built in 1874 and is the oldest building on campus that is still used for its original purpose.

It’s also one of our busiest buildings and is open 7 days a week, from 9 to 9, except on weekends when it closes at 7.

Right behind Batson is the oldest building we have here.

This is “Miller Hall” used today as a small art gallery that mainly displays student and faculty art shows.

On our right are the three main student class room buildings adjacent to each other.

These are known as the Stanley Trio since they were all funded by large donations from the industrialist Henry Stanley.

Now if you follow me over the bridge over looking 6 Street, you can see “Kramer Dormitory”.

The only dorm we have here since we only have a little over 700 students.

It has been coed since 1989.

Before that all the male students had to find off-campus housing.

Today about half of our students body reside in the dorm which is mandatory for all freshman.
