Woman:Hi,Kaven.Your roommate told me that I could find you in the TV lounge. what are you doing here?
Man:what does it looklike i am doing?
woman:well, it looks like u are watching television.but we have a linear algebra mid-term tomorrow, so i thought you'd be studying for it and maybe i can study with you.
man:oh,well,i was just taking a break.this linear algebra stuff gives me a headache if i work on it too long.
woman:i know what you mean.i've been working on it for three hours through it already. i'm beginning to go corss.i'd been theorying at the sample problems. i just don't get some of them.

Listen to two students talking about their engineering class.
woman:hello?
man:hi,may,this is bill johns.
woman:oh hi,bill.you weren't in engineering class today, were you?
man:i have the ful.i was sonderfing if you could tell me what went on.
woman:actually we had an interesting class. Dr.Collin talked about a new type of fuel.
man:oh,yeah?
woman:uh-hum.it's called dimethyl-ether or DME.
man:oh,i remember reading somethinga bout DME.it's mostly used in spray cans,right?
woman:right. DME doesn't destory the ozone,so it's been environmentally friendsly.
man:but doesn't DME pullute the air if it's burned in an engine?
woman:Dr.Collin says something about its exhausts being clear,that it doesn't release as much pullutants as diesel fuel.and he mentioned something about DME being more efficient than other alternative fuels.
man:when will it replace diesel fuel?
woman:not for a while.it's not economical to massproduce.
man:well,thanks for the information.i guess i won't need to borrowyour notes.
woman:well,maybe you should look at them.we are having a test next week.

man:thanks.me too.bye!
woman:bye!

Questions 40 through 43:
Okay.Uh...you remember that ive mention that it's important to read the assigned poems aloud,so you can develp and appreciation of the sounds of the poetry: the rhymes,the rhythm,the repetition of words or sounds,and to get a sense of the interplay between the sounds of the words and their meaning.this is really critical as we move into modern poetry,especially by writers woh place so much importance on sounds that the meaning becomes all etter relevant.like this line by Gertrude Stein that I'd like to quote.listen,listen as i say the words."rose is a rose is a rose is a rose." taken literally this would seems to be an empty statement,one which gives us no information. but the purpose of a poem need not be to infrom the reader of anything, but rather to evoke feelings. to create a sensual as well as phonically pleasing experience. now Gertrude Stein was better known for her prose than for her poems.but i'd like to like to quote this line because of its musicality,and because i think it helps open up our awareness to the unconventionallyricism of contemporary poets.you'll see this in your homework tongiht as you read the poetryof John Ashbery,especially if you read it out loud,which i recommend you do.poets like ashbery don't rely so much on any formal rhyme scheme or meter as on the musical quality of the individual words themselves. as i said,Stein was better known for her non-poetical work.and now i'd like to touch briefly on her essay entitled "Converstaion and Explanation".this work deals with her theory of writing and will help to explain some of the things we've talking about.
