M: Emma, I've got accepted to the university of Leads. Since you're going to university in England, (12)do you know how much it is for international students to study there?

W: Congratulations. Yes, I believe for international students, you'll have to pay around 13,000 pounds a year, it's just a bit more than the local students.

M: OK, that's about 17,000 dollars for the tuition and fees. (13)Anyway, I'm only going to be there for a year, doing my masters. So it's pretty good. If I stayed in the U.S., it'd take 2 years, and cost at least 50,000 dollars in tuition alone. (14-1)Also, I have a good chance of winning a scholarship at Leads, which would be pretty awesome, the benefit of being a music genius.

W: Yeah, (14-2)I heard you are a talented piano player. So you are doing a post- graduate degree now? I'm still in my last year, graduating next June. Finally, I'll be done with my studies, and could go on to earning lots of money.

M: Are you still planning on being a teacher? No money at that job then.

W: You'd be surprised, (15)I'm still going to be a teacher. But the plan is to work at an international school overseas, after I get a year or so experience in England. It's better paid, and I get to travel, which reminds me I'm late for my class, and I've got some documents I need to print out first. I've got to run.
