Tasks for self-study

Read the text and answer the questions below the text

Student life

Many of our future students want to know what their daily life will be like if they choose to study on our Pre-sessional programme. We asked our current Pre-sessional students to write about a typical day on their course, and here are two of their contributions.

My typical daily life

Rie Iwama, Pre-sessional student applying for MSc Sustainability and Management

Social activities give me a great opportunity to learn more about British culture and speak English!

I usually wake up at 6 a.m. and then start preparing to go to the university. After that, I normally do self-study for about 30 minutes. During that time, I tend to focus on reading and listening the topics that Im interested in. This is except for the period I'm struggling to do my assignments! Then, I leave for the campus and go to the library to do my homework. This is my favorite habit on weekdays because I can focus on study in the morning better than in the evening.

There are two classes a day and all the classes are very interesting and useful for me. Because all the teachers and classmates are very kind, friendly and helpful, I enjoy attending the classes every day. I like doing homework even though I sometimes struggle with it.

We have a break for about two hours between the morning class and afternoon class. During that time, after having lunch, I usually do homework or have a tutorial with my teacher once a week. I always enjoy the tutorial because I have the chance to talk about everything Id like to do.

After classes, I go to the library, go home, or join the social programme. I like to join the social activities as much as I can because it gives me a great opportunity to learn about British culture and speak English! The evening is the most relaxing time for me. I usually cook dinner and then enjoy listening to music or watching TV on the BBC. Again, this is except for the period when I'm struggling to do my assignments!

This is my typical study day!
