Where do you work? 00:01:00,940 I managed to get a job working in the local bakery, learning how to make bread and cakes. Since I'm studying business, it's really useful to experience at firsthand how a shop is run and interact with the customers. 00:01:14,560 Wow. It sounds really interesting. I'd love to come in and try the produce one day. Is it nearby? 00:01:22,000 It's about fifteen minutes away, which is frustrating because it's too far to walk from my house and I have to drive there. Despite the commute, my tutor recommended it to me as it's renowned in certain circles for being a very well-run and successful business. 00:01:38,160 Is it a part of the Kingfisher Baker's chain? 00:01:41,380 No, it's an independent family-run store, which is good because they're really supportive and eager to help me with the information I need. 00:01:50,280 How do you find the theoretical aspect of the schoolwork? 00:01:53,910 I find the practical work far more interesting, but my tutors are really enthusiastic and I get on well with my classmates, which makes the lessons a lot more enjoyable. Also, I recently found out that I can complete the theoretical aspect of the course within one year because of the practical experience I'm getting. 00:02:13,060 Wow, that's great. 00:02:15,060 I know. I was so relieved. I find the theory pretty hard to understand, so I was really worried about taking it for another year. 00:02:23,980 Do you get assessed every term or just once at the end of each academic year? 00:02:29,520 No, there's an assessment every term, which is great because it really takes the pressure off. In the first term, it's really relaxed. You conduct your own experiments on your topic of choice, and then everyone in your class assesses each other as a practical exercise. It's just a shame that practical experience doesn't count towards the grades. 00:02:49,440 Yes, that's true. 00:02:51,240 Anyway, enough about me. What are you studying? 00:02:54,880 Oh, I'm not sure what I want to study yet, but I've been making inquiries about the English language course. 00:03:01,930 Do you know what career path you're interested in following? 00:03:05,320 Since Spanish is my first language, I thought that studying English would be really beneficial if I decided to apply for a job in England. I really enjoy art, and I'm very creative, but I don't think that becoming an artist is a very practical choice. I was thinking of using my passion for art in a different way, like working as a curator in an art exhibition, for example. 00:03:29,620 Wow, that sounds really interesting. I think you'd be good at that. 00:03:34,060 The problem is that the course is very expensive as you have to buy materials yourself, and they don't offer any scholarships to cover expenses. I need to order a catalog of the courses on offer, so I can see if there are any other modules that might perhaps be cheaper to study. 00:03:52,000 Luckily, the courses don't start until September, so at least you have plenty of time to get organized. 00:03:58,420 I can't believe I have to wait until September. I'm already so excited about starting. 00:04:07,320 Before you hear the rest of the conversation, you have some time to look at questions twenty-six to thirty. 00:04:18,980 Now listen and answer questions twenty-six to thirty. 00:04:46,500 What other art-focused modules could you choose from? 00:04:49,840 History of art is my first choice since there isn't so much expense involved. I think it would be really interesting as they invite a number of guest lecturers from across the globe to speak on specialist subjects. 00:05:03,060 That sounds great. What about sculpture? 00:05:06,360 Well, sculpture looked like a really suitable option at first since it's the easiest course. But again, the utensils and materials aren't provided, so you have to spend a lot of money on supplies. I'm also considering the option of digital painting. There isn't much reading involved, and the accommodation is located inside the studio, so you would never have to worry about commuting. 00:05:31,660 Commuting is such an inconvenience, so that's definitely a big advantage. What do you think of art theory? 00:05:38,860 That's definitely an option for me. There are no exams as you get assessed on your coursework and research is conducted independently, so you can work from home, which is really convenient. The only other option is photography, but I'm not so keen on that. 00:05:55,720 Why not? 00:05:56,980 I've just never really been interested in it, and I see it more as a medium for documentation rather than an art form. You're also required to buy one of those really expensive cameras with a digital display and micro focus capabilities, which I can't afford. 00:06:14,040 Well, let me know what course you decide on. 00:06:16,640 I will. Thanks for talking it over with me. 00:06:19,820 No problem. See you later. 00:06:24,760 That is the end of section three. You now have half a minute to check your answers. ## 题目与答案 ### 21. 21 Why did James choose to work in the bakery? 21 Why did James choose to work in the bakery? - Because it’s close to his home - Because it has a good reputation in the subject area - Because it’s a part of a chain **答案**：Because it has a good reputation in the subject area 原文定位：My tutor recommended it to me as it's renowned in certain circles for being a very well run and successful business 同义替换：「has a good reputation」↔「renowned in certain circles」 ### 22. 22 What was James surprised at in his studies? 22 What was James surprised at in his studies? - He finds the theoretical courses easy - He can finish the theoretical courses - He finds the theoretical work interesting **答案**：He can finish the theoretical courses 原文定位：Also, I recently found out that I can complete the theoretical aspect of the course within one year because of the practical experience I'm getting 同义替换：「finish」↔「complete」 ### 23. 23 How is James’ course assessed in the first term? 23 How is James’ course assessed in the first term? - The marks are given by students to each other - Self-assessment - It is up to the practical experience **答案**：The marks are given by students to each other 原文定位：It's really relaxed.
