So, are you enjoying the course?<br />I am, I think.<br />I mean, what we're actually learning about is interesting,<br />what inspired the 19th century French painters and that sort of thing.<br />I feel I've heard it all before.<br />I'd hoped the teacher would tell us more about their actual techniques,<br />but at least there aren't too many of us on the course.<br />That certainly helps when it comes to group discussions,<br />and the teacher's amazing, don't you think?<br />He certainly thinks he is.

Good evening, everyone. This is Mike. Tonight, I'd like to address myself to parents who<br />are planning to send their children to university but who might be concerned about the cost.<br />There's no doubt that university education is of great value. Not only will your children<br />learn and grow, but according to the Department of Skills figures, on average, someone with<br />higher education earns 50% more in a lifetime than someone without. But in the last decade<br />or so, the cost of getting a degree has more than doubled, and it looks as if things are<br />going to get worse. University fees are rising steadily. If you thought funding a university<br />education was beyond your reach, think again. University education can offer your children<br />the opportunity of a lifetime. If you're a new parent, remember that the earlier you<br />start saving, the less you have to pay every month and the greater your return. The National<br />Union of Students evaluates that the average undergraduate needs about 25,000 pounds to<br />finance three years at university. Based on these figures, it is projected that when<br />someone is at university in 20 years time, the cost will be approximately 40,000 pounds.<br />But students can always get some kinds of part-time jobs during university years. Parents can save<br />money by encouraging their children to study locally and live at home. Almost 80% of the<br />costs students have to meet are living expenses. Good evening, everyone.
