COOK OR CLEAN
Paul / England
I prefer cooking because I enjoy the creative aspectof cooking, the idea of bringing together a number of ingredients, and you know, cooking is something that's going to taste good. And for these reasons, I enjoy cooking to cleaning.

Phoebe / China
Do I prefer cooking or cleaning? Definitely, I prefer cooking. I don't mind to cook every meal as long as someone can clean it for me, so if you let me choose, definitely, I prefer cooking.

Tim / United States
I like both cooking and cleaning, because I like doing my own cooking because it can be fun and you can make something that you enjoy eating and tastes good and is also healthy. And I also like cleaning because I don't like having a mess in my personal space, and I like keeping things organized, so it's nice to keep things clean, so you have a less stressful life.

Antoinette / United States
I prefer cleaning. Cooking is very stressful, because if you're cooking, you're going to cook for someone else. If I have to cook for myself, I don't mind, I don't really care. I'll eat whatever it is I cook. But if I'm cooking for other people, I have to worry about whether they will like what I make, if I'll make enough, if I'll have enough courses, will I make something someone's allergic to, so it's just very stressful. Cleaning, that's easy, and it helps me to relieve stress.

Rese / Botswana
I prefer cooking because cleaning takes too much energy, and I don't really like washing up and getting my hands wet. Plus, I like to come up with new recipes and experiment in the kitchen.

Peter: So, Jana, we were talking about
academic life in different countries but how about daily life for students? Did
students also have part-time jobs and where did they eat? Did they eat at home
or in dorms or did they go out?
Jana: Right. So my life in Prague was
quite different because I was living with my parents, but obviously I would go
to university for the lectures or seminars and yeah, I think most of my
classmates had part-time jobs or even full-time jobs and they would study sort
of in their free time and in the Czech Republic usually students go to
university in their city so they stay at home with their parents, but if they
choose to go to a different city then they would stay at dormitory, so some of
my classmates who were staying, who were living in dormitory, I felt like they
had more social life than I do because that's where all their social events
happen.
Peter: Right.
Jana: I have actually never lived in a
dormitory so I don't know what it's like.
Peter: So how about student
life in Spain?
Jana: Yeah, I suppose again it depends
on the students. Maybe local students and international students might have
different lifestyles but I was living with a host family and they cooked for me
once a week. That was really nice. Every Sunday we had a really nice meal, but
apart from that I would eat at the cafeteria or cook at home and I didn't have
a part-time job but I think a lot of my classmates did. It wasn't so easy for
international students to find work so...
Peter: Yeah, yeah. And
then you moved to Sydney? How did that change things for you?
Jana: Well, Sydney was a lot of fun.
There are so many international students, so many different cultures and it's a
big part of education actually. International education in Australia is a huge
business as well.
Peter: Really?
Jana: So there are so many
international students. In fact, in my class I think there were maybe two
Australians.
Peter: Wow.
Jana: And the rest were from all over
the world.
Peter: Hm. I also had
a friend who studied as an international student at, in Sydney, and he told me
it's quite expensive for international students to live there. Is that true?
Jana: That's right. One, you have to
pay the tuition fees, but also, depending on where you come from, you need to
apply for a student visa and often one of the requirements is you need to show
that you have enough funding for the whole course.
Peter: Right.
Jana: And the actual living
costs might not be that high. It depends where you live. A lot of students
share houses.
Peter: Right.
Jana: Or work part-time as well.
Peter: So part time
work is allowed then?
Jana: Yes. You can work up to twenty
hours per week.
Peter: OK.
Jana: While on a student visa.
Peter: Right. So you
can have some income at least to support yourself?
Jana: That's right.
Peter: Where did you
live in Sydney and did you have a share mate or somewhere like that?
Jana: Yeah, I lived in a share house
with other students. It's a really common thing to do in Sydney because the
rent is so expensive.
Peter: Oh, really?
Jana: So not only students but even
working adults often share apartments. Yeah, I actually moved maybe five times
while I was there.
Peter: It sounds pretty hard
actually.
Jana: It was fun to try living in
different areas and with different people.
Peter: Great.

Your hand fits in mine
Like it's made just for me
But bear this in mind
It was meant to be
And I'm joining up the dots
With the freckles on your cheeks
And it all makes sense to me
Like it's made just for me
But bear this in mind
It was meant to be
And I'm joining up the dots
With the freckles on your cheeks
And it all makes sense to me
I know you've never loved
The crinkles by your eyes
When you smile
You've never loved
Your stomach or your thighs
The dimples in your back
At the bottom of your spine
But I'll love them endlessly
The crinkles by your eyes
When you smile
You've never loved
Your stomach or your thighs
The dimples in your back
At the bottom of your spine
But I'll love them endlessly
I won't let these little things
Slip out of my mouth
But if I do
It's you
Oh, it's you
They add up to
I'm in love with you
And all these little things
Slip out of my mouth
But if I do
It's you
Oh, it's you
They add up to
I'm in love with you
And all these little things
You can't go to bed
Without a cup of tea
And maybe that's the reason
That you talk in your sleep
And all those conversations
Are the secrets that I keep
Though, it makes no sense to me
Without a cup of tea

I know you've never loved
The sound of your voice on tape
You never want to know how much you weigh
You still love to squeeze into your jeans
But you're perfect to me

You'll never love yourself
Half as much as I love you
You'll never treat yourself right darlin
But I want you to
If I let you know
I'm here for you
Maybe you'll love yourself like I love you

Half as much as I love you
You'll never treat yourself right darlin
