You wanted some advice about the work experience program? 00:00:53,040 Yeah. I wanted to check I've understood what I'm supposed to do. 00:00:56,360 Sure. 00:00:57,240 For a start, we have to work for a company in the holidays between the first and second year and again between the second and third year, right? 00:01:04,640 Yes. Usually, you do around fifty days with two different employers, like a hundred days in total. 00:01:10,700 I see. You know, there's one aspect of the work experience program I'm unhappy with. I mean, considering we have to attend a preparation course for it and that it's a big investment in terms of time. 00:01:22,200 What's the problem? 00:01:23,680 Just the fact that no matter how well we perform on the program, it makes no difference whatsoever to our final grade for our degree. It goes unrecognized. 00:01:32,400 I know, but there are lots of advantages too. Anyway, when does your preparation course for the work experience start? 00:01:39,440 Soon. We're starting with a session on interview technique, how to respond to questions, that stuff. 00:01:44,700 That can be useful. But I remember we had to make up a list of things we wanted to achieve during the time with the employer. That was a bit pointless. 00:01:52,240 My thoughts exactly. You can't decide on your aims until you've started work for real. 00:01:56,960 The tutor will give you some good advice about presenting your resume, though. So don't miss that session. 00:02:02,300 Okay. When the work experience starts for real, it would be great if I could actually do a bit of software design. 00:02:08,000 That's highly unlikely on a work experience course. You'll be doing more basic things than that. They might start you off on the IT help desk. That's often where they need extra people. But then you'll move on to work in areas that suit your field of study. I mean, whatever you focus on this year at college, you need to be able to put it into practice during work experience. There has to be a match. 00:02:31,000 And then we do work experience again after we finish our second year, right? 00:02:34,800 Mm-hmm. 00:02:35,420 I saw somewhere you can expect to earn between twenty to twenty-five dollars per hour. I suppose that's roughly what recent graduates get. 00:02:42,580 Yes, not bad. 00:02:43,960 But I also read employers don't necessarily have to pay you anything because you're not technically a real employee when you're doing work experience. 00:02:51,420 Uh, correct. But I haven't heard of that happening to anyone. 00:02:54,980 Unless you do IT work for some kind of volunteer organization. 00:02:59,560 I'd like to do that kind of thing, but not with my financial situation. 00:03:03,580 Right. 00:03:07,380 Before you hear the rest of the discussion, you have some time to look at questions twenty-five to thirty. 00:03:28,380 Now listen and answer questions twenty-five to thirty. 00:03:51,220 Okay. And once I've decided which company I want to do my work experience with, what's the process? Do I have to fill a form out first saying why I'd be interested to work for the company and what kind of qualifications I have? 00:04:03,860 Yes. You can ask your tutor for a standard one to use or download one off the department's website. 00:04:10,160 Okay. Then after that, do I have to sign something with the employer, like something that guarantees I'll be given the work over a specific period of time? 00:04:18,660 Actually, the next stage is you checking with the college that the kind of work you're applying for is appropriate. So you'll need to send them a brief outline of what your responsibilities will be. 00:04:28,400 All right. 00:04:29,220 And then, if the college approves, they'll speak to the company and get the name and email address of the managers that'll be in charge of you. 00:04:36,900 Okay. So after that, is there some kind of interview? 00:04:40,780 No. But the company are legally responsible for you, and they don't want you getting hurt by any equipment, so they'll set up a meeting. 00:04:48,469 So we can talk about accident prevention and that kind of thing. 00:04:51,940 Exactly. And once you've started, remember to keep writing down what you had to do every day. Be detailed, so you can show which skills you developed. 00:05:00,980 Right. And at what point might I receive a payment? 00:05:04,380 Mm, not sure. But once it's over, the college sends the employer a form, which they can choose to fill out or not, about how well you did and what they recommend you focus on next time. Do the tutors actually... 00:05:19,900 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 John is unhappy because the work experience programme 21 John is unhappy because the work experience programme - is very expensive - takes too long - doesn’t earn credit **答案**：doesn’t earn credit 原文定位：Just the fact that no matter how well we perform on the program, it makes no difference whatsoever to our final grade for our degree.
