Your task is to read the abstracts and to state what students do in certain colleges.
Scripps College
The highly ranked progressive women’s college knows how to keep that old school touch alive with their tradition of afternoon tea. Every Wednesday afternoon Scripps holds afternoon tea in the beautiful Seal Court. Surrounded by a fountain and mosaic murals, the Scripps students can relax, chat, and even have one-on-one discussions with professors while sipping on some tea.
climb to the top of the hill and gather fruit
Oak Hills College
The Oak Hills tradition follows that after a classmate’s engagement, the groom-to-be is thrown by his classmates into the campus lake. Friends of the fiancé carry him from his dorm to the dock and ask him two questions: “Do you love her?” and “Is she worth it?”’. Say “yes” to both and your friends will most lovingly throw you into the cold Minnesota lake.
attend a performance in the local museum
Washington University in St. Louis
Walk In Lay Down, usually referred to as WILD, is a concert in the Brookings Quad every fall and spring. The tradition gets its name from the fact that students dragged sofas and couches into the quad (square) so they could listen in comfort. The concert usually features local bands as well as one or two nationally known groups or artists. The Say “Hi” Tradition requires all students to say hello to students and faculty that they meet on campus on this day.

Smith College
Whether you are going to come to the college for a lecture, to visit the award-winning Smith College Museum of Art, take a campus tour, stop in at one of the libraries, attend a performance or simply stroll the grounds to enjoy the beauty of Smith’s botanic gardens, come on Mountain Day and you'll find a campus filled with energy and enthusiasm. Since 1877, the women’s college in Northampton, Massachusetts has taken part in a strange but lovely tradition called Mountain Day. On a beautiful autumn day, Smith College’s president rings the college bells to give students an unexpected but welcomed break from classes so that they can hike up the mountain and pick apples.

Bucknell University
Starting with New Student Orientation, your first days at Bucknell immerse you in scholarship, learning and tradition what it means to become a member of the campus community. For example, during the first week of their second semester, first-year students serenade the president of the university. During their first and last weeks on campus, students gather in a circle in the college campus overlooking the hills at sunset for a class candle-lighting ceremony.
sing songs to the head of their institution
Rollins College
Fox Day is an annual tradition established by Rollins’ 10th president, Hugh McKean, in 1956. Each spring, on a day “too pretty to have class,” the president cancels all classes, providing undergraduate students with a surprise day off. A statue of the Rollins fox is placed on Tars Plaza early in the morning. A free pancake breakfast is offered and fun activities are planned throughout the day.

The Art Scene
Art is a big part of people's free time in the UK. They read about it, go to galleries and buy art books. A lot of people also enjoy doing art in their free time. In this article we look at three different kinds of art: writing, painting and film-making. We also talk to three different artists: an author, a painter and a film-maker.
Writing. Novelist Jane Harris has just published her second book, Gillespie and I. The story is set in Glasgow, Scotland, and London in 1888. The narrator is Harriet Baxter, a single woman who becomes friends with the Gillespie family. But Harriet is not a very reliable narrator and the plot is full of surprises. Jane tells us about the book. 'I wrote the first draft in six months, but then I worked on it for another year. I did a lot of research on the internet and in libraries. It was important to me that the details were correct.'
Painting. Illustrator Nick Sharratt is particularly famous for his work with children's writer Jacqueline Wilson. He has illustrated all her books, including the Tracy Beaker series. Tracy is a fun, lively character and Nick enjoys drawing her. 'I think Tracy is a kind of modern-day Charlie Chaplin. She's a bit of a caricature, but she's also a real person. I imagine what she looks like when I'm reading Jacqueline's stories.' Nick also paints other things, for example still life and landscapes.
Film-making. Film director Danny Boyle is from Manchester. His most famous films are probably Trainspotting (1996) and Slumdog Millionaire (2008), but he has made many others. His new film is called 127 Hours and it stars James Franco as Aron Ralston, a young man who gets trapped under a rock in a canyon in Utah. The film is based on a true story and it's very intense. Danny tells us what he likes about it. 'The film is about a man who has to save himself, so it's like a one-man play. But the cast and crew were fantastic, and James is a brilliant actor, so it was a great experience.'
