Studies
Sample questions and answers
…let's talk about your studies…
Where are you studying?
I'm studying at Sydney University. It's a very prestigious university,
and the lecturers
are really demanding and give lots of
assignments, so I often have to study until the
wee hours.
[Underlined words are explained below in the idioms section.]
Why did you choose to study there?
Actually I chose the school for a few reasons. Most importantly, I
chose to study there
because it has the most up-to-date knowledge in my area. As well as this, the
University has a student centered approach, so I feel my
learning needs are really
taken care of.
Did you enjoy your first day there?
Yes, it was really great because I got to meet lots of fantastic new people. That first day
was quite relaxing, but after that the course got really intense and I found that I had to
hit the books every day just to keep up.
What would you like to do after you finish your studies?
Well I think it depends. I think that my course will help me to set the stage for my
future career. I'd like to join one of the top
five accounting companies, but if my grades
aren't high enough I will go to work at my uncle's accounting firm.
