Mehmet and the University Goal

Mehmet looks at the calendar for the August bank holiday. He has decided to visit the university in York on August 26th.

He checks the weather forecast for the bank holiday weekend. Heavy rain is predicted for Saturday, so he changes his travel plans.

Mehmet asks Rainer for advice on his UCAS application. Rainer says the deadline is in January, but early submission is better.

They check the train prices on the laptop. A ticket costs 45 pounds, but a railcard discount makes it 30 pounds.

Mehmet arrives at the station at 08:15. An announcement says the train to York leaves from platform 4.

The train is delayed because of unexpected roadworks near the tracks. Mehmet waits for the announcement about the new departure time.

Mehmet writes his personal statement for the university. He explains his ambition to study engineering to the admissions office.

Rainer suggests a restaurant for dinner after the campus tour. The menu price for a main meal is exactly 18 pounds.

They agree to visit the local doctor if Mehmet feels sick during the trip. The clinic is open until 17:00 on weekdays.

Mehmet submits his online application before the gate closes. He feels confident about his future at the university.
