1. 老师要求严格
在听力小对话的学校上课场景里面经常会涉及到对于老师的对话，无外乎对于上课的评价，对于讲座的评价，对老师要求的评价这么几种。而在听力里面出现的老师总是要求很严格的，不仅仅对学生，对自己也是要求严格，主要体现在：对学生要求严格，上课准时，讲座很精彩等，但有时候也会有学生说课程很难，讲座听不懂等情况。
典型题目

2. 作业又难又做不完
毫不夸张的说，作业是每一个学生的噩梦所在，不论对于中国学生还是国外学生，因此听力小对话中往往出现大量学生对于作业的抱怨，而无一例外的总是抱怨作业多，做不完;作业难，不会做;做作业的时候问题很多，有时候需要两人达成一致等。需要了解的是作业包括各种各样的assignment 和 homework 以及reading list。
典型题目
Test 20 no 8
M: Mr. Smith, our history professor, announced we would be doing two papers and three exams this semester. I wonder how I'm going to pull through when two other courses have similar requirements。

Q: What does the woman suggest the man do?
A) Do the assignments towards the end of the semester。
B) Quit the history course and choose another one instead。
C) Drop one course and do it next semester。
D) Take courses with a lighter workload。

3、考试总是难
就像作业一样，考试也是学生往往无奈的话题之一，学生会喜欢考试吗?毫无疑问不喜欢，考试会容易吗?问问学生自己就知道了，总是觉得考试很棘手。通过都往往很困难，更别提得高分了。
典型题目：
Test 10 no 3
W: How did you do on the maths exam, John?

4、订房订票总是定不上

典型题目：
Test 2 no 8

5、男生对于比赛(如足球赛等)永远狂热
从任何一个学生的角度去考虑这都是一个非常正常的思维，在听力小对话里面出现的比赛总会受到男生极大的关注。如果比赛和其他活动(比如concert)冲突，男生一定会选择看比赛，如果比赛没有看成，则有可能是生病了。
典型题目：
Test 1 no 7
W: Did you watch the game last night?
M: I wouldn't have missed it for anything!

一般来说在听力小对话里面，男生不是很喜爱学习，男生的学习成绩总是不好的，而且往往没有女生的好。而且无论是在学习中还是生活中总是需要女生多方面多角度多渠道的鼓励，关心和帮助，这也是一个很有意思的情况。同时往往在别的方面也表现不佳，比如总是迟到，睡过头等。出现过的表达有：be late for the class， oversleep ，miss the class 。有兴趣的同学可以自己总结。
