had a rough time adjusting Steve but I'm sorry to hear you want to leave what I need to do now is find a new college and I was hoping you might have some ideas I might but first I think I ought to warn you about some of the potential problems with transferring the main one is how many of your credits will be accepted by your new College you mean they won't all be transferable not necessarily it'll depend on what courses you've taken here and how they fit in with the requirements at the other school so whatever College you choose be sure to find out about transferring your credits who would I talk to about something like that first check with the admissions officer then follow up with the registrar's office now the other thing I wanted to caution you about is thinking that a transfer will solve all your problems I'm not sure I understand what you mean well I know you haven't been happy this semester but are you sure changing colleges is going to be the answer I like my classes except for composition the math department is everything I expected it to be but maybe if my roommate and I had hit it off better that's really bothering me more than anything else really did

language you seem to place quite an emphasis on precise descriptions and of course you really know how to set the scene thank you actually I began my writing career as a poet it's no coincidence that I've strived for a certain Style it seems to me it would take years to produce something so well written and researched not to mention the time it takes to work out the plot and yet you write so fast that sometimes you've got two new books out at the same time tell me about your work habits I keep at it all the time I get up at six every morning review the outline for the chapter I'll write that day and don't stop till I'm finished sometimes four or five in the afternoon even when I'm not at my desk I'm working ideas flash through my mind all day long that's why I carry a little notebook

for those of you living in coastal areas where hurricanes can be destructive because of their heavy winds the following guidelines have been established by the National Weather Service before hurricane season even begins stock up on batteries candles bottled water non-perishable foods such as canned goods and other Emergency Equipment in case of a hurricane warning following these safety guidelines may help save your life and property first of all protect Windows with boards or tape since they're not strong enough to withstand hurricane force winds these winds can reach up to 200 miles per hour also the National Weather Service recommends that you fill up your car with fuel in case you need to evacuate gas stations may be closed by the time you need to leave your home remember also it is suggested that you stay indoors if your home is sturdy and on High Ground however homes in low-lying areas will likely be evacuated since flooding is a possibility listen to the radio for emergency weather reports and evacuation information if called to evacuate leave the area immediately you will be advised of the locations of local shelters number 39 what is the talk mainly about number 40. what organization provided the information for the announcement number 41. what should people do before hurricane season begins number 42 according to the announcement why should people fill their cars with fuel before a hurricane questions 43-46 listen to part of a lecture in the United States history class in the days before telephones radio and television the only network of Public Communication that could reach Farmers was the male but this wasn't the mail as we know it today at that time in the early 19th century mail delivery was uneven and widely scattered in fact many people living in rural areas got no mail at all in the early Decades of the century mail carriers were privately employed they did not work for the government many years later when the government finally took charge of delivering mail it was mostly in cities that mail got delivered to people's homes so farmers still had a problem they had to go to a post office to collect their mail which by the way wasn't always nearby Farmers requests to have mail brought to their homes were at first met with outrage what could be more ridiculous many Urban residents asked than paying government employees to travel miles across the countryside with an occasional letter nevertheless Farmers organizations succeeded in convincing the United States Congress that farmers needed mail delivery finally in 1891 rural free delivery known as RFD came into being in a sense rural free delivery was the most important Communications revolution in United States history rural Americans were now lifted out of the relatively isolated communities they lived in because of rural free delivery there now ran a highway to the world from every Farmer's doorstep number 43 what does the speaker mainly discuss number 44. what is true of mail delivery in the early 19th century number 45 according to the speaker what problem did farmers face with early mail service number 46 how did many City residents react when Farmers first requested mail delivery questions 47-50 listen to a lecture in an earth science class today I'd like to explain the Mohs scale used in what is called the scratch test this scale is based on the simple fact that harder minerals scratch softer ones for example a diamond scratches glass but glass doesn't scratch a diamond a quartz crystal can scratch a feldspar Crystal but not the other way around the scale is named for Friedrich modes the mineralogist who devised it in 1812 his scale spans the range of minerals known at that time from the softest to the hardest by performing a scratch test using known minerals and a few common tools and unidentified mineral sample can be placed between two points on the scale by referring to the scale the mineral can then be identified I have here a collection of the minerals included on the Mohs scale as well as the tools necessary to complete this exercise I'd like you each to take a mineral sample from the basket at the front of the room and classify it according to its place on the Mohs scale first however I should give you a little warning the hardness of any mineral depends on the strength of the bonds between ions or between atoms the stronger the bond the harder the mineral because bond strength May differ in various angles of a crystal the hardness may vary slightly depending on the direction in which the mineral sample is scratched so be sure to scratch each sample in several different directions number 47 what is the lecture mainly about number 48 what aspect of a mineral is the Mohs scale used to identify number 49. what does the teacher ask the class to do number 50. according to the teacher when might the hardness of the same mineral seem to vary this is the end of section one listening comprehension stop work on section one this is a reminder at the end of the test the supervisor will collect all of the test books you may not leave until all of the test books have been collected [Music]
