M: United World Colleges. Can I help you?
W: Yes, I’d like some information about the college, please.
M: What would you like to know?
W: My name’s Julia Harris and I have a friend in Spain who’s interested in applying for a place at one of the colleges. There are one or two questions that she’d like me to ask you.
M: Go ahead.
W: Thanks. What language is used for most lessons?
M: Well, the main language of instruction in all the college is English. But at Pacific College in Canada some subjects are taught in French.
W: Right. Is it expensive to go to one of the colleges?
M: Students’ parents don’t have to be rich, if that’s what you mean. There are scholarships for all colleges, but we do ask the parents to pay what they can afford. It’s $ 2400 per year.
W: Good. Now she wants to know something about getting into a college. Does she have to get high marks in all her examinations?
M: Ah, yes, well she will have to do well, but academic ability is not the only thing that’s important. We also look at personal qualities.
W: What sort of things do you mean?
M: Maturity, the ability to get along well with people from different countries, that sort of thing.
W: I understand what you mean. The last question is about her other interests. Can she take painting or modern dancing, for example?
M: Yes, probably. It depends on the staff at the college she enters. Each college has its own special activities, such as theatre studies or environmental work, in which students can take part.
W: Good. I think that’s all. Thank you very much for your help.
M. You’re welcome. Goodbye.
W: Goodbye.
