David Randall is a graduate from the London School of Eco-
nomics, a college within London University. We asked him to share
with you his recollections and impressions of being a student at one
of the most famous British Universities. The text can be roughly di-
vided into several parts. Listen to each part separately and do the
tasks. Here is some vocabulary to help you grasp what you are going
to listen to. Study it before listening: you are likely to come across
some of the words and collocations throughout the text.
