Sheldon: Hello my audience, welcome to Campus Interview from VOE Foreign Languages Radio. I’m your old friend Sheldon.

???“????????DIEGO???????????????????????????????????????????????????”??????

Latisha: Hi ???????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????

Sheldon: Of course I do! That is a self-introduction in Spanish, isn’t it? (Right!)Well, today, we take a step outside our tiny little campus, all the way to the Beijing Language and Culture University.

Latisha: ?????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????

Sheldon: Hello ?? Could you please introduce yourself again in English to our audience?

??: Hi everyone. I’m Limin and I have a Spanish name Diego. So I’m now studying in BLCU and my major is Spanish. And now I’m in the forth year of this University.

Sheldon: Well, thank you for join me today. Before we officially begin our today’s interview, I got a news of our Diego that he is a child prodigy especially in languages and he went to college at the age of 16. Latisha you know?

Latisha: ????????????????????????????????????????????7.5?????????????????????????????662?????

Sheldon: Exactly! So ?? could you share the experience that how did you get admitted to BLCU? Considering your achievements in English, I don’t think that is difficult for you.

??: Ok, I came into this university with a type of recruitment called independent recruitment. It means that you have to go to the ?? exam but you also need to take another little exam in the university about half year before the ?? exam. And if you get pass that exam you will get a 20 or 30 points for your final exam. So I passed that exam and I got my major Spanish. This major was my dream major since primary school or something. So it was really dream came true and I definitely chose to study in this university.

Latisha: ????????????????????????????~

Sheldon: Yeah, and then would you like to tell the impression of your school?

??: The atmosphere in this university was fantastic. When I first came into this university, I found out that there were so many foreigners there. And you could find any type of language in that university. Whenever I do anything, I play football basketball or tennis. I can always find some friends from Spanish speaking countries. And I can practice my spoken Spanish with these guys. And another important feature about this university that is this university is very small. Because we use to be alongside the big university but in 1964 the government decided that we should be given independent place for our university. So we got half the campus of Beijing Geography University or something. So to be honest, we are a very very small university but we have the people from every country in the world.

Latisha: ?????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????

Sheldon: Indeed, and Latisha we have talked with Limin for sometime, I believe that it is not difficult for you to find that he speaks English with a Spanish accent. (yes, obviously) And Limin I heard that you have been to Spain for one year. I wondered how you got the chance to study in Spain? I think there are must many people competing with you for it.

??: Yeah, I got this weird Spanish accent in Spain. I didn’t get admitted to the university on my own. It is because we have some exchange program with 3 or 4 Spanish universities. Well, I was in the second grade, our teacher gave us 3 or 4 choices and also we had the choice of going to Mexico. But eventually I chose to go to Spain. I went to the University of Santiago. Santiago is a very very small city but it is of very important cultural importance because we have a very important cathedral at the centre of the city. It is called the Cathedral of Santiago. It is said that one of the students of Jesus was buried there. So Santiago has now become the second most important Catholic city all over the world.

Sheldon: Wow, it seems that you just seized the opportunity. And studying in Spain must be a wonderful experience!

Latisha: ??????????????????????????????????????????????????1748???????12?????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????

Sheldon: Yeah, that’s all for today’s campus interview. Thank you for your listening. And see you next time. Bye.
