As you know, I'm interested in studying tourism next year, so I'm after some information on the courses available in Wellington. 00:01:13,580 How have you come to that decision? 00:01:15,660 Well, it's a growing industry, isn't it? So the long-term prospects for this area have got to be pretty positive, I'd say. Also, when I've visited other countries myself, I haven't always been happy with the service I've received, which has made me want to find out how that could be improved. I don't know. I've been thinking about it for a long time now, I guess, though I've never actually had a job related to it. 00:01:38,620 And I see from your CV that you sent me anyway that you've had some summer employment, so those skills will transfer. 00:01:45,910 Mm-hmm. 00:01:46,760 I imagine you've gained some experience in drafting formal letters and reports from this role with the legal firm. 00:01:52,860 Um, actually, no. In fact, I spent most of that summer photocopying in a back room with not much contact with the other staff. 00:02:00,480 Oh, well. You've worked for the local bank in the budgeting department, I see, so that will help. 00:02:05,960 I hope so. My experiences overseas might be of some use to me too. I'm not very good at waiting, so standing in long queues was annoying. 00:02:15,500 Uh-huh. 00:02:16,040 But I've definitely become more accepting of other cultures through seeing firsthand that there are other ways of doing things and have gained a lot of respect for those who travel on their own. I had my best mate with me, and we did most things together. 00:02:30,620 Well, now, let's get your study plan sorted out, shall we? 00:02:33,860 Yes. Right. I've been thinking of going to Queen Alexandra University. 00:02:38,780 They offer a BCA in marketing with a specialty in tourism, and that would be your best bet as it prepares you for all aspects of the industry. 00:02:47,740 Mm. I've been reading about how a good degree can lead on to jobs in ecotourism. 00:02:53,200 Yes, ecotourism was attracting increasing numbers of graduates for a while there, though I know that the number of jobs offered has fallen off recently. How keen are you on that, though? Because to go that route long term really requires you to be completely dedicated to the cause. And because it's a new field, no one knows right now quite how environmental tourism is going to develop or whether it will last at all. 00:03:18,680 Well, I'm pretty keen, but I'll think about it some more. Thanks. And I guess the alternative to Queen Alexandra University is to go to the Central Polytechnic instead. I'm not sure which would be best as far as my chances of getting employment at the end of it go. My cousin went to the Polytechnic, and she said that it's the opposite of what you'd think. The fees are actually higher there than at the uni because the courses are full of work experience, so you pay for your materials. 00:03:51,620 Before you hear the rest of the discussion, you have some time to look at questions twenty-six to thirty. 00:04:23,700 Now listen and answer questions twenty-six to thirty. 00:04:31,060 So that's the public sector. I'm also interested in a private provider, the Sir William Rolleston College. Actually, I'm thinking of the certificate in travel and business. The website says that's an accelerated course. What does that mean exactly? 00:04:46,960 Oh, it's pretty high powered because it teaches three subjects in a short time frame. 00:04:52,100 Right. I phoned someone about cultural tourism, and that has a course in spoken Japanese, so you can communicate with your tourists. 00:05:00,580 Yes, that's an interesting one. And have you looked into tourism operations? That one's a bit different because there's an extra session on learning to treat minor injuries and accidents that your tourists might suffer. 00:05:13,020 Hmm. But to be an event organizer, would I qualify for admission to that certificate, or do you need to get workplace experience first? 00:05:21,600 You'd be okay because they accept the school-leaving certificate or the equivalent in work experience, so there'd be no problem there. 00:05:29,260 Ah. 00:05:29,880 And finally, the computer certificate at William Rolleston has a module on how to interact with clients and deal with their requests, like when you're making reservations in a travel agency. 00:05:40,580 Hmm, that's interesting. 00:05:42,400 Well, you have a lot of choices open to you, Leon. Good luck making a decision. 00:05:50,020 That is the end of part three. You now have thirty seconds to check your answers to part three. ## 题目与答案 ### 21. 21 Why does Leon want a career in tourism? 21 Why does Leon want a career in tourism? - He enjoyed being a tourist himself - He has worked in tourism before - He thinks tourism has a good future **答案**：He thinks tourism has a good future 原文定位：Well, it's a growing industry, isn't it?
