isor Hi, Quan, how are you doing? Quan Im doing great. How about you, Dr. Smith? Advisor Great! Pretty busy with students papers. Quan Its about the end of the semester. You must have a lot of papers to read. Advisor Yes. You are right. Thanks for coming in, Quan. Quan Dr. Smith. You wanted to see me? Is there some sort of problem? Im a bit worried. Advisor Well, not exactly a problem. Dont worry. Quan Is it about my paper? Advisor No, but there is something we need to discuss. I asked you to come here because I want to talk with you about your schedule. Quan My schedule? Is there anything wrong with my schedule? Advisor Eh...yes. About the courses youve already taken and the courses youve signed up to take next semester. Quan What about it? Advisor Its not exactly wrong, but its something we need to deal with. Let me lay it out for you...here it is...you see... Quan Yeah. Advisor Well, in your plan of study youve declared that you want to finish your masters degree in two and half years. Quan Thats right. Advisor Its been a year since your enrollment. But, you havent taken any core courses yet. Im just afraid that you may not be able to graduate in two and half years if you dont take any core courses from this semester on. Quan Dr. Smith. Actually, I dont know anything about core courses. How do they affect my graduation? Advisor You really dont know anything about core courses? Didnt anyone tell you anything about them? Thats weird. Quan No, I dont know. Advisor You should have been told about them the very first day you were enrolled. Core courses are the required courses you must take so as to obtain your masters degree and graduate. There are a total of five core courses you must take. Since they are not offered every semester, you have to make a plan about when to take them. Otherwise, Im afraid, you may not be able to graduate on time. Quan It sounds very serious. Thank you very much for reminding me. Advisor My pleasure. Quan In my case, I have to take as many core courses as possible every semester from now on. Is that right? Advisor Thats right. By the way, another important thing is that the department cannot offer you an assistantship for the next year and half because of the tight budget. You know, there are more and more students applying right now, but there arent many assistantships to be offered. Im sorry to tell you this. Quan Thats too bad. But thank you for telling me this. Its really important to me. Advisor And, as you told me before, you cannot afford the tuition to study here by yourself. Quan No, if I have no assistantship, there is no way for me to study here. So, I have to graduate on time. Dr. Smith, can you give me some suggestions on which courses I should take this semester? I have no idea which ones are easy and which ones are difficult. Advisor Well, the core courses such as Grammar and Socio-psycho Linguistics are relatively easy, because they are the most basic courses. The courses like Testing and Descriptive Linguistics are comparatively difficult. But, if you can first finish Grammar and Socio-psycho Linguistics, Testing and Descriptive Linguistics will become easier because you will have some background knowledge about them. Quan Thank you very much. I really appreciate your help. Advisor You are welcome. Now get ready to answer the questions. You may use your notes to help you answer. 30.
