85、 Wed save a lot of waste. Were going to make a difference.(Text 10)M: Right, everybody, lets get started. Id like to welcome you all to your new university. Even though you havent started classes yet, youll have a very busy first two weeks here. For example, you have probably noticed the number of g
86、roups and associations asking you to join them. There are sports clubs such as football, basketball, and tennis. Moreover, there are more academic clubs. The history club, for example, meets once a week and takes trips to interesting places as well as inviting guest speakers to talk. Id advise that
87、you look around all of the clubs before joining any because you have to pay to be a member of most of them and you dont want to run out of money in your first week!Next, I have to tell you about the process of registering for your courses. First, you have to go to the university administration build
88、ing to get your registration documents. Dont forget to take your ID. Secondly, take your document to see the head of the department of each course that you want to take. Youll find the room numbers for each class on the registration document. Besides, remember to get a book list for each course when you see the head of the department. Finally, return the completed document to the university administration building. You will then be given a library card. If you have any problems with accommodation, please go to the secretary office, not your academic department. I think thats all.
