Question 1

Take an Interview practice (interview about a survey about student housing). The interviewer asks: "Do you live on campus or off campus?" Which response is the strongest 45-second answer?

I live in a place where I sleep and study, and it is a good place for a student to live in general. Housing is a big problem in many cities, and rents are increasing every year for many reasons. On campus. That is my answer to the question about where I live at this university. I live on campus, in a dormitory about five minutes from my classes. I share a room with one roommate. It is small, but I love being close to the library, and I never have to worry about buses in the morning.

Question 2

Read the following exchange from a campus setting: Student: My scholarship requires a 3.0 GPA, and I'm at 2.9 after Organic Chemistry. Officer: You can file an appeal if you had extenuating circumstances this term. Student: I was hospitalized for two weeks in October. Would that qualify? Officer: Likely, yes. Bring documentation and the form by Wednesday at 2:15 p.m.. Student: I'll bring the hospital records Wednesday morning. What does the officer suggest?

Drop Organic Chemistry retroactively Transfer to another school The exchange does not mention this. File an appeal with documentation by Wednesday

Question 3

Write an Email practice — Email to the housing office about a room change. Situation: You live in a campus dormitory. Your roommate works night shifts and sleeps during the day, while you must wake up early for morning classes, so your schedules constantly disturb each other. In your email to the campus housing office, you should: (1) explain the problem with your current room; (2) describe the kind of room you hope to move to; (3) ask whether any rooms are available and what you need to do to apply for a change. A student drafts: "Dear Housing Office, My roommate sleeps all day because of his job and I wake early, so we disturb each other. I want a quieter room. Lucas" What is the biggest weakness of this draft?

It criticizes the roommate, which is forbidden in housing emails. It does not include the student's room number in the subject line. It asks for a 'quieter' room, but rooms cannot be described as quiet. It never asks whether rooms are available or what the application procedure is, so point (3) is missing.
