COUNSELLOR: Hello, John, What can I do for you?
JOHN: Well, I heard about these counsellingsessions from a friend doing a science course and Iwas really interested. I think they should becompulsory really.
COUNSELLOR: Well to be quite honest, John. Ithink they would be useful for everybody but well,everybody has their own way of going about things. Iprefer people just to drop in when they can.
JOHN: Yes.
COUNSELLOR: I find that talking to students about the requirements of a course helps toclarify what needs to be done. I mean the biggest difference between college and school is thatnew college students really have to do a lot of work on their own, and it's sometimes useful toget advice on how to take control of your time and work effectively.
