5. What does the social calendar of the college provide him?


She went out with her new friends, walking around campus.
Because at the party everyone was busy playing some games and no one seemed to notice her.
Her roommate left the window open when it was cold outside. She went to bed early. She blamed Ellen for making her sick.
He thought the first year at college was the best and the most challenging of his life.
It provides him a lot of opportunities to meet non –engineering students as well as other engineers and many of them have become his best friends.

III. After you read :
Discuss the question: “Is getting higher education important to you? Why? Why not?”

Important
-It helps to get well-paid jobs
- It helps to broaden knowledge.
It helps you to work better
-It’s easy for you to get promotion.
- There is often a big difference in salary between the directors and workers.


Suggested ideas:
Not important
- More skilled workers are needed than engineers in the present situation of our country.
- Young people can help their family out with money at home when they go to work.
- They can attend in – service schools to further their education.
