劍橋雅思9 test 3 Section 3雅思聽力原文

TUTOR:         Ah Caroline … come on in. Sit down.

CAROLINE:      Thanks.

TUTOR:         So how’s the dissertation planning going?

CAROLINE:      Well Dr Schulmann, I’m still having a lot of trouble deciding on a title.

TUTOR:         Well, that’s perfectly normal at this stage. And this is what your tutorials will help you to do.

CAROLINE:      Right.

TUTOR:         What we’ll do is jot down some points that might help you in your decision. First of all, you have chosen your general topic area, haven’t you?

CAROLINE:      Yes, it’s the fishing industry (Q21).

TUTOR:         Oh yes, that was one of the areas you mentioned. Now, what aspects of the course are you good at?

CAROLINE:      Well, I think I’m coping well with statistics (Q22), and I’m never bored by it.

TUTOR:         Good. Anything else?

CAROLINE:      Well, I found computer modelling fascinating – I have no problem following what’s being taught, whereas quite a few of my classmates find it difficult.

TUTOR:         Well, that’s very good. Do you think these might be areas you could bring into your dissertation?

CAROLINE:      Oh yes, if possible. It’s just that I’m having difficulty thinking how I can do that. You see I feel I don’t have sufficient background information.

TUTOR:         I see. Well, do you take notes?

CAROLINE:      I’m very weak at note-taking (Q23). My teachers always used to say that.

TUTOR:        Well, I think you really need to work on these weaknesses before you go any further.

CAROLINE:      What do you suggest?

TUTOR:         Well, I can go through the possible strategies with you and let you decide where to go from there.

CAROLINE:      Okay, thanks.

TUTOR:         Well, some people find it helpful to organise peer-group discussions – you know, each week a different person studies a different topic and shares it with the group.

CAROLINE:      Oh right.

TUTOR:         It really helps build confidence (Q24), you know, having to present something to others.

CAROLINE:      I can see that.

TUTOR:        The drawback is that everyone in the group seems to share the same ideas (Q25) … they keep being repeated in all the dissertations.

CAROLINE:    Okay.

TUTOR:        You could also try a service called ‘Student Support‘ (Q26). It’s designed to give you a structured programme over a number of weeks to develop your skills.

CAROLINE:     Sounds good.

TUTOR:        Yes, unfortunately, there are only a few places (Q27). But it’s worth looking into.

CAROLINE:     Yes, of course. I know I’ve got to work on my study skills.

TUTOR:        And then there are several study skills books you can consult.

CAROLINE:    Right.

TUTOR:        They’ll be a good source of reference but the problem is they are sometimes too general (Q28).

CAROLINE:     Yes, that’s what I’ve found.

TUTOR:        Other than that I would strongly advise quite simple ideas like using a card index.

CAROLINE:     Well, yes, I’ve never done that before.

TUTOR:        It’s simple, but it really works because you have to get points down in a small space. Another thing I always advise is don’t just take your notes and forget about them. Read everything three times (29) – that’ll really fix them in your mind.

CAROLINE:     Yes, I can see it’d take discipline but …

TUTOR:        Well, if you establish good study skills at this stage they’ll be with you all your life.

CAROLINE:     Oh yes, I completely agree. It’s just that I don’t seem to be able to discipline myself. I need to talk things over.

TUTOR:        Well, we’ll be continuing these tutorials of course. Let’s arrange next month’s now. Let’s see, I can see you virtually any time during the week starting  January

CAROLINE:     What about the? I’m free in the afternoon.

TUTOR:        Sorry, I’m booked then. What about the following day?

CAROLINE:      Thursday? I can make the morning.

TUTOR:        Fine, we’ll go for the 25th (Q30)then.

CAROLINE:     That’s great, thanks.
