How's the course going? 00:00:51,040 Oh, good thanks. But I have to start thinking about the work experience component. 00:00:55,260 Right. So you'll do yours during the holiday, will you? 00:00:59,500 That's the plan. But I haven't contacted any companies yet. Why do we have to do work experience in the first year? I've got enough on already. 00:01:07,240 Yeah, the first year's pretty full on. It gets easier once you've chosen the specific area you want to focus on in your second year. But the experience is useful. For a start, you get shown how to use different tools and machines, which you'll probably be using later in an actual job. 00:01:26,260 Yeah, that'll help. 00:01:27,720 And everyone working around you will be using engineering language specific to the job and their individual roles. 00:01:35,320 I guess that helps put it all into context and makes it more meaningful. 00:01:38,920 Yes, but you're responsible for finding the company, so I'd get on with that. The process takes ages. 00:01:46,620 So what about you? What criteria did you use to choose a work experience placement? 00:01:51,500 Well, I knew I wanted to end up in civil engineering, so I applied to a company that I thought I'd like to work for in the future once I finished college, like with a proper contract. 00:02:02,540 Okay. So I suppose I could choose an employer that wouldn't mind me going back for a second placement in the next long holiday. 00:02:09,800 Your tutor might not agree to that. They normally like you to go somewhere else for a second placement. 00:02:16,100 Okay, so what you mean is apply somewhere that I'd actually like to work once I've finished the whole degree. That makes sense. 00:02:23,540 Some people in my group, I remember, wanted to see what management were doing, but you're unlikely to start off at that level, so... 00:02:31,980 See what happens at ground level instead. Right, I'll remember that. And I suppose it also needs to be a place where I can see communication between different employees, how they work together. 00:02:43,200 That's something you have to discuss in the report you write after the work experience is finished. So it's essential, yes. 00:02:53,200 Before you hear the rest of the discussion, you have some time to look at questions twenty-five to thirty on page six. 00:03:12,120 Now listen and answer questions twenty-five to thirty. 00:03:38,320 So once you've completed the work experience, you have to write a report. It's about three thousand to five thousand words. 00:03:46,160 So typed about six or seven pages. 00:03:49,240 Yes, you print it out and hand it in in a folder and also email a copy. One thing I'd be careful of when you're using a computer, it's really easy to cut and paste paragraphs from different academic sources, and you'll be penalized if you don't acknowledge them. 00:04:05,800 Fair enough. I'll make sure I make a note of my sources as I go along. What about stuff like photos and diagrams? Do you think the tutor expects to see a lot of those? 00:04:15,240 Well, only if they're strictly necessary and actually support the points you make. We were told to avoid adding them just for a decorative effect. 00:04:24,280 And what about the formatting? Is there anything I need to know? I suppose I'd better leave space between paragraphs and keep the margins fairly wide. Otherwise, the tutor won't be able to highlight the problem areas. 00:04:35,180 Yes, they hate that when there's no room for marking it or to make comments. 00:04:39,700 Okay. 00:04:40,900 I'm trying to remember the feedback I had on my report. I think there were a lot of us who had trouble with the section on staffing issues. 00:04:48,700 The tutor warned us about that. We mustn't forget to describe the way the company is structured. Who's in charge of who, who has responsibility for which department. 00:04:57,480 That's it. I left that bit out and had to redo it. What were the other sections? 00:05:03,540 Well, company description. You have to talk about the kind of work that the company does in detail. 00:05:09,420 That's right. Now make sure you say how what you're doing on the course is connected to the work you observed. Say how it applies to what happens in practice, I mean. Otherwise, the tutor will make you redo that bit. 00:05:23,380 Yes, he mentioned something about that. And the conclusion, I know they'd like us to put our own opinions in. 00:05:29,380 But don't be too negative about the company. As far as the tutor's concerned, you don't have the experience to identify any mistakes they're making. Not yet, anyway. 00:05:39,820 Oh, okay. I won't do that then. 00:05:45,820 That is the end of section three. You now have half a minute to check your answers. ## 题目与答案 ### 21-22.
