今天听力的学习是电台的播音：美国大学学费有多贵?
下面是听力材料：
Lulu: Last time we talked about all these basics.
James: Yeah, the dormitory andall stuff like that.
Lulu: How about we start with the big question with how much does it cost?
James: Do you really wanna know?
Lulu: l'm a little bit scared, but let's diveinto it. First of all, you have public andprivate universities, right?
James: Yes, we do. So we have for which called state schools and private schools. So in general, public or state schools are cheaper than private schools.
Lulu: Is it a lot cheaper?
James: That is a lot more complicated than it seems.
Lulu: ok, so, can you give us some
examples, like actual numbers?
James: Well, let's focus on just public
schools for now. In America, public
schools are at the state level. So each
state has their own public school. And uh,if you're a resident of that state, you pay what's called instate tuition, basically at alocal tuition. So let's take a famous school that many of you may know, like a
University of California Berkeley.
Lulu: UC Berkeley. Ok.
James: Very famous school. So if you'refrom California, if you're a California
resident, UC Berkeleycost five thousand seven hundred twenty one dollars perterm.
Lulu: Per term. So a year, that would beyou have to double it.
James: Yes, but if you're not from
California, so if you are like me, who's fromWashington. The cost of going to UC
Berkeley would be twenty thousand twohundred seventeen dollars per term.
Lulu: Per term. Wow, that will make it forty thousand dollars per year.
James: That's right.
Lulu: That's always close to the average income.
James: Right, so myself or a Chinese
person would pay the same price going toUC Berkeley, because we're not from
California.
Lulu: Oh, so they don't have international tuition. They only have in state/out of state.
