Is it okay with you if we have a chat together before we go and see him? 00:01:22,120 Sure, Charlie. 00:01:23,780 So did you choose this university to do performance arts because it's got such a good reputation? That's what hooked me in. 00:01:31,160 Well, there are other good places which I also considered, but when I looked into things further, I was impressed by the connections this course has with a whole range of theaters of different types. So even though I was tempted to go and study abroad, I decided to come here in the end. 00:01:51,560 And you don't regret it? 00:01:53,220 No. [chuckles] It's been brilliant, especially the options this year. 00:01:58,800 The body and dance option I did for this term has been particularly stimulating. 00:02:04,520 Hmm. I'm sorry I didn't go for that one too. But I did dance and drama, which was brilliant too. I think the most valuable option I've done was the movement analysis course we did in the first year. 00:02:16,940 Absolutely. It's provided a great foundation for all our other work since then. So let's talk about our work experience last summer. You went to Finland, didn't you? 00:02:31,180 That's right. I was at their National Ballet Theatre. I didn't get the chance to go on stage, but I helped out with sewing clothes for current productions and even with designing some for future shows. It was brilliant. I got to know a lot of students studying at the local dance school, and I may get the chance to go back there next summer. 00:02:52,630 Hmm. I've been offered more work at the place where I was working in Canada. 00:02:58,240 Great. So what do you think you gained most from the experience? I think I've got much better at controlling my stress levels. 00:03:07,540 For me, it was probably the fact that I learned a lot about collaborating with others rather than working independently. I was lucky to be able to do that in a situation that wasn't too stressful. Also, I had to organize my time well, but I've always been reasonably good at that. 00:03:29,640 That's good. So we've got quite a few things ready to say to our tutor. It'd be a good chance to ask him any questions we have too, of course. 00:03:39,980 I also think it could be helpful to discuss our future plans. For example, what we're planning to do our dissertations on. 00:03:50,060 Sure. I was unsure about whether to focus on globalization in dance or on stage design. I did an essay on globalization in my first year and really enjoyed it. But then I saw a spectacular production at the Royal Opera House, and that settled me on stage design. I know another student who's planning to work on that too, so we can discuss things together a bit. 00:04:14,840 Okay. That could be useful. I'm planning to do something on current trends in contemporary dance for my dissertation. 00:04:23,400 That sounds pretty challenging. It's a big topic. 00:04:27,600 It might not be easy to organize in a coherent way. 00:04:31,760 I've thought about it quite a lot, and I think that'll be okay, and I feel confident about how to write a longer piece of work. I'm in a bit of a panic, though, about how I'll get through all the literature. There seems to be so much. Hopefully, it won't all be relevant. 00:04:52,060 Quite. 00:04:56,200 Before you hear the rest of the discussion, you have some time to look at questions twenty-seven to thirty. 00:05:22,340 Now listen and answer questions twenty-seven to thirty. 00:05:29,420 So have you made any career plans yet? 00:05:32,340 I'm still undecided. I've thought about performance, of course. 00:05:37,520 Yes. I think lots of graduates from here take that route, but it's a hard life involving lots of tough, repetitive practice, as well as actually appearing on stage. 00:05:47,860 Yes, but the performers I've met know that's essential for the job and say they wouldn't change what they do for the world. 00:05:56,360 I know lots of graduates go into education, teaching at various levels, but that means doing some kind of post-grad certificate. But I think it would be interesting, rewarding work. 00:06:07,980 I was wondering about theater management as a possible option. 00:06:12,380 That's what our tutor did before he got into teaching, isn't it? 00:06:15,620 Yes, but he said he quickly realized it wasn't for him. He wasn't earning enough to live on. 00:06:22,380 I can imagine his communication skills are better than his business skills as well. Marketing's a possibility, of course. 00:06:30,480 Sure. I've read something saying it can be an interesting career, though I don't think many graduates go for this. But that might mean there's not so much competition as in many other fields of dance. 00:06:44,980 Right. So now, shall we make a list- 00:06:51,140 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 Gina chose to study performance arts at this university because the course 21 Gina chose to study performance arts at this university because the course - has a very good reputation - has links with various theatres - has an international flavour **答案**：has links with various theatres 原文定位：Well, there are other good places which I also considered, but when I looked into things further, I was impressed by the connections this course has with a whole range of theaters of different types 同义替换：「links」↔「connections」 ### 22. 22 Which of the options they chose have Gina and Charlie both found useful? 22 Which of the options they chose have Gina and Charlie both found useful? - Movement Analysis - Dance and Drama - The Body in Dance **答案**：Movement Analysis 原文定位：I think the most valuable option I've done was the movement analysis course we did in the first year;Absolutely.
