... Now, I'd like to tell you a little bit about the Student Union in this college. All fulltime students 
automatically belong to the Student Union and have voting and membership rights, which means you 
can vote in Union meetings and in election for the student officers. Part-time students also have access 
to what the Union has to offer. Further details of this are available from the Student Union offices.
The Union is affiliated to the National Union of Students (NUS), which represents students on a 
nationwide level. Through the Student Union and its parent body students can take advantage of 
reduced price travel facilities, Endsleigh insurance, the main student insurance company, and a wide 
range of reductions on consumer goods through the Student Discount Card.
The Social Committee or the Student Union organizes dances and other entertainments. Including the 
Folk Club, Womb Cinema and the Third Eye, which caters for a more developed taste in music, theatre, 
art and poetry.
The Student Union also finances over twenty clubs and societies for a wide range of interests. You can 
get details or these from the Student Union offices.

(
Janet has just come down to London for the day. In September, she will be studying at university and 
she needs to find somewhere to live. Janet goes to an accommodation agency which she knows is 
offering free advice.
)
Man
: Hello, can I help you?
Janet: Yes, I'm soon to be studying here in London and I need to find somewhere to live.
Man
: OK, have a seat and I will look through some places with you. What type of accommodation are 
you looking for?
Janet
: Well, obviously, I need somewhere quite cheap, but I don't really know much about the kind of 
places which are available. Perhaps you can tell me about some.
Man
: Right, I'll start with self-contained flats. Now, these are the most expensive option out of the list I 
have here. You will usually have to sign a tenancy agreement of some sort and pay a deposit and one 
month's advance rent. Although the flats are expensive, you'll find you have your freedom to do what 
you want.
