Chinese and English are also available.A：Ha-ha, that maybe true.B: But, don’t you think taking part time jobs is a waste of time? We always stay at JiangPu Campus, it takeslots of time on traffic to the city.A: That’s a question.B：By the way, are there enough part-time jobs for us? Maybe our supervisors will not allow us to take such jobs. Theymight be worry about our study.A: Although it may occupy your personal time, and may interfere your study.

Do you like the campus life as a graduate student?B: As a matter of fact, a little confused. Every day seems similar, normal life, normal study. How about yournew semester? I heard your supervisor is very famous.A: You mean my research supervisor?B: Yeah.A: He’s great I think. He always brings us a lot of projects of architecture design. You know that, there are alwaysendless buildings to be built in China.B: It accords with your expectation, isn’t it?A: Yes, this has always been the best quality that I expect of my supervisor.

So you are going to get many real projects to improve yourself and earn lots of experience.A: That’s true. But he is really strict to us. We are required to read kinds of books, finish PPTs to report our progressand have a lot of meetings. We almost have little of our personal time. last month,we had classes on work days and went his studio every weekends.B: Really? Hey, that’s what I appreciate. You know? Although my supervisor allows me much free time, I feel too freedom.A: Why that?B: Because, we may not know what to study and how to get better by ourselves. If our teacher can supervise us like yours’,then we are bound to learn as much knowledge as we can.A: Maybe you are right. As the old saying goes, a strict teacher produces outstanding students.B: That’s it.A: By the way, I also expect my supervisor to be fashion.B: What? So strange.A: I think, as a designer, we must lead the fashion, because, if so, we are able to have more great ideas about design.B: As far as I can see, my supervisor should better be not. Then, our designs are going to be consistent with the public demands.A: All right, I can only partly agree with you.B: Never mind. See? Is there someone call you?A:Let me have a look!

B: Perhaps you’re right. But, at present, the most effective way is that using the serious punishment to regular people’s bad behaviour . Learn it from Singapore.
