M: Excuse me, may I ask some questions about the reception party that you’re advertising outside?
W: What would you like to know about it?
M: Well, I’m not really sure what the purpose of the event is.
W: The party will provide students with a chance to get to know each other, and a chance for students who have been successfully through university to pass on some valuable advice.
M: Who’s organizing the event? Is it the faculty or...
W: Actually, it is the Students’ Union that’s organizing this event.
M: I hope we won’t have to sit through a lot of boring speeches. What can they actually do to help a guy like me?
W: The Students’ Union is simply a group of normal, but grateful, students who hope that by sharing their experiences with new students they can help more students to successfully graduate.
M: But will we have any time for some fun at this party?
W: Most of the time Will be split between eating, dancing, and singing--so not to worry. However, some of the words of wisdom from the former students should not be missed.
M: You’ve got a point. They are, after all, successful stories if they’ve managed to survive university life. I hear that about only half of all students who start university actually finish it.
W: And besides that, there’s another reason to go.
M: What’s that?
W: The pie they’ll be serving is delicious. I know since I’m the one who will be making it.
M: That’s great! I am looking forward to the party. Thank you.
W: Not at all. May you have a good time.
