听力原文：W: Hi, Frank. What are you up to？ Is that really a French grammar book？

M: Well, I'm trying to teach myself some French. When I go to Montreal next semester, I don't want to sound like just another tourist. Most of the people there are bilingual.

W: Leave Boston to go to Montreal？ I didn't know this university had a program in Canada.

M: It doesn't. I'm planning to take a short leave of absence from school, so I can go there on my own.

W: What's the reason for this sudden interest in Canada？ M: Well, actually I've been thinking about going for some time now. I know someone there who's been wanting me to visit.

W: A relative？

M: An old friend of my uncle's runs a chemical engineering department there. So, I'm hoping he can help me enroll in some interesting courses.

W: If you want those credits transferred back here later on, you'd better arrange for it before you leave. Don't forget what happened to Susan after she came back from Rome.

M: Yeah, but her situation was different. I already have all the credits I need to graduate.

W: So you'll be taking courses just for the sake of learning.

M: That will be a nice change of pace, won't it？

What was Frank doing at the beginning of the conversation？

A．Planning a sightseeing tour.

B．Writing to his uncle.

C．Arranging his class schedule.

D．Looking through a language textbook.

W1: Yes, Professor Baker, I speak Spanish and French.

M: And what helped you most in learning those languages？

W1: What helped me most ... well, I studied both languages in high school, and I'm still studying Spanish here at the University, but I think that travel has probably been the most help to me. You see, I've been lucky in that I've lived in Europe. Believe me, I didn't speak very well before I moved there. What do you think of this, Jill？

W2: You're right, Betty, after studying a language, practice is very useful. When you live in a country where the language is spoken, it's ideal. But, you know, sometimes it's difficult to make friends in a new place, even then the people are very friendly.

W1: Yes, I know what you mean. Especially if you don't speak the language too well. I had some problems when I first moved to Europe.

W2: And, of course, some people are shy.

W: That's true.

W2: Professor Baker, whether or not I'm in a country where the language is spoken, I always go to the movies, and whenever I can, 1 watch TV or listen to the radio in the language I'm trying to learn.

W2: Me too. And reading is another way to learn. Books are good, but I think that newspapers and magazines are even better.

M: Probably the best way to learn is to combine all of these ideas: traveling, talking with people, going to movies, watching TV, listening to the radio, and reading books, newspapers and magazines. What do you think？

W1: I agree with that, Professor Baker.

W2: So do I. But I don't believe that it's possible to take advantage of practice opportunities without some knowledge of the language first.

W1:Sure. First it's a good idea to study grammar, vocabulary...

W2: ... and listening, perhaps even reading.

W1: Then practice is very, very helpful.
