Mark the letter A, B, C, or D on your answer sheet to indicate the word whose underlined part 
differs from the other three in pronunciation in each of the following questions from 16 to 17....h friendly people, and having Fridays off- these are just 
some things I like about college. 
 Living at college, first of all, gives me a sense of responsibility, of being on my own. My 
parents are not around to say, “No, you’re not going out tonight.” or “Did you finish your 
homework?” Everything I do has to be my decision, and that gives me the responsibility of handling 
my own life. During the second week I was at college, I had to go out and look for a bank where I 
could open an account. Before that I looked in the phone book since I had no clue about any banks 
around here or where they were located. Someone told me to go to a bank named Continental Federal 
Savings. And I had to make my own decision - whether to have a checking or saving account and 
whether or not to get a card. I’m on my own to make my own decisions. 
 I also love to have Fridays off. I wouldn’t be able to deal with five days of classes in a row. I 
love to sleep in. One Thursday night, my roommates and I went to Georgetown. We got in rather early 
the next morning, and my roommates and I decided to sleep in, something I couldn’t do in high 
school. 
 I do like things about college - being on my own and having Fridays off, but this doesn’t mean I 
don’t think about things at home. Although I like college, I can still get homesick: New York is a 
pretty good place, too.
