M: Emma, I got accepted to the University of Leeds. Since you're going to university in England, do you know how much it is for international students to study there?
W: Congratulations! Yes, I believe for international students, you'll have to pay around £13,000 a year. It's just a bit more than the local students.
M: Okay, so that's about $17,000 for the tuition and fees. Anyway, I'm only going to be there for a year, doing my master's. So it's pretty good. If I stayed in the U.S., it'd take two years and cost at least $50,000 in tuition alone. Also, I have a good chance of winning a scholarship at Leeds, which would be pretty awesome, the benefits of being a music genius.
W: Yeah, I heard you're a talented piano player. So you're doing a postgraduate degree now? I'm still in my last year, graduating next June. Finally, I'll be done with my studies, and could go on to earning loads of money.
M: Are you still planning on being a teacher? No money in that job then.
W: You'd be surprised. I'm still going to be a teacher. But the plan is to work at an international school overseas, after I get a year or so of the experience in England. It's better pay, and I get to travel, which reminds me I'm late for my class and I've got some documents I need to print out first. I'd better run.
