You will hear two music students discussing the results of a survey they have done. 00:00:07,600 First, you have some time to look at questions twenty-one to twenty-six. 00:00:41,900 Now listen carefully and answer questions twenty-one to twenty-six. 00:00:49,680 So Gareth, we need to organize the findings from our survey on music students for the final presentation. 00:00:55,920 Yes, Lorna. I think we've got some very interesting results. Obviously, we need to start by saying that we interviewed all the third-year students doing a music degree and state the objective of our research project. That is, to find out about their attitudes to performing. 00:01:11,74 And then we should talk about the students' musical backgrounds before coming to university. The most important points to make are that although most people have actually composed music during the course, that wasn't the case when they arrived. And the other thing they had in common was the piano. 00:01:28,820 Well, they'd had access to a piano at some point, but not all had studied it formally. I thought the most interesting finding was that before coming here, almost everyone was involved in a chamber orchestra or band or singing in a choir and playing in front of live audiences. 00:01:46,280 But varying enormously in size. Some had only played in tiny venues. I think it's worth saying that. 00:01:53,480 Okay. And as you might expect from people wanting to study music, they all had a degree of proficiency in at least two instruments. But in most cases, one of the instruments was dominant. 00:02:05,820 Right. 00:02:07,220 We need to talk about attitudes to music practice. The most striking thing here is that even students who you'd expect to practice for hours every day until they get it perfect say it's being terrified of failing that really makes them practice. I know I'm the same. 00:02:23,820 [laughs] Me too. 00:02:25,480 [laughs] 00:02:25,500 It's interesting what was said about practicing alone. Some people preferred that because they could focus more on their weak points. 00:02:32,760 But that wasn't a majority view. What most of them agree on is that there's nothing more rewarding than mastering something that's really hard to learn. 00:02:41,470 That's right. 00:02:43,100 Okay. After that, we should talk a bit about the pieces that students select for assessed performances. 00:02:49,360 There wasn't quite so much consensus on this, was there? A few people prefer to do pieces which are relatively unknown, while others choose the ones they think will show off their technical ability, but they were in the minority. 00:03:02,700 Hmm. I think the first thing to say is that a high percentage said they would always try to learn their pieces by heart because it's too easy to get lost if you're trying to read and play when you're nervous. 00:03:14,010 Hmm, okay. And quite a lot of them said it helps to listen to other people playing your chosen piece, preferably recordings, but even just other students. 00:03:28,140 Before you hear the rest of the discussion, you have some time to look at questions twenty-seven to thirty. 00:03:54,500 Now listen and answer questions twenty-seven to thirty. 00:04:01,580 So finally, we need to look at the findings for students' attitudes to performing. We should point out that this includes informal and formal public performances as well as assessed ones. 00:04:13,740 Yes, that's important. 00:04:16,160 I expected to find that performing solo would make students very nervous, but in fact, that isn't the case. 00:04:22,560 They do find it hugely challenging to start with, but they appreciate the challenge and find it stimulating. 00:04:28,94 Right. I was surprised by what students said about deciding which pieces to perform. I thought they'd all say this was easy. For me, it's always been quite straightforward. Which pieces do I like best, and which pieces can I play well? And my repertoire is quite limited anyway. But the most commonly cited answer was that it took them ages to make their minds up. 00:04:50,780 I suppose it's because there are so many factors involved. You need to consider your audience, the venue, the time available to learn the piece, especially if it's complicated. You need to think about all these things, and you can't do that in a hurry. 00:05:06,720 That's true. 00:05:08,020 Then there's performing with musicians from a different genre, like a classical musician playing with a jazz group. That can really be fun. 00:05:16,100 But most of the music students had never even considered it. 00:05:19,580 Right. For performing with musicians who play the same instrument, almost everyone put the same thing. 00:05:26,220 Yes. They all said it was incredibly helpful and not at all intimidating, which says a lot for the department's ethos. 00:05:33,540 Yes, that's a good point. Okay. What I think we should sort out now is... 00:05:42,240 That is the end of part three. You now have thirty seconds to check your answers to part three. ## 题目与答案 ### 21-22. 21-22 Which TWO points did students most frequently make about their musical background before starting a music degree? 21-22 Which TWO points did students most frequently make about their musical background before starting a music degree? - They had already composed music - They had several music qualifications - They could play more than one instrument - They had performed in public - They had had piano lessons **答案**：They could play more than one instrument,They had performed in public 原文定位：they all had a degree of proficiency in at least two instruments;almost everyone was involved in a chamber orchestra or band or singing in a choir and playing in front of live audiences 同义替换：「most frequently」↔「almost everyone」；「more than one」↔「at least two」；「performed in public」↔「playing in front of live audiences」 ### 23-24. 23-24 Which TWO points did students most frequently make about music practice? 23-24 Which TWO points did students most frequently make about music practice? - They prefer to practise alone - They try to practise every day - They are motivated to practise by fear - They feel they don`t do enough practice - They enjoy the challenge of a difficult piece **答案**：They are motivated to practise by fear,They enjoy the challenge of a difficult piece 原文定位：even students;say it's being terrified of failing that really makes them practice;most of them agree on is that there's nothing more rewarding than mastering something that's really hard to learn 同义替换：「motivated by fear」↔「terrified of failing」；「enjoy the challenge of a difficult piece」↔「mastering something really hard is rewarding」 ### 25-26. 25-26 Which TWO points were most frequently made by students about the pieces they select for assessed performances? 25-26 Which TWO points were most frequently made by students about the pieces they select for assessed performances? - They like to hear others performing the same pieces - They like to choose little-known pieces - They like to play pieces from memory - They like their tutor to choose their pieces - They like to choose technically demanding pieces **答案**：They like to hear others performing the same pieces,They like to play pieces from memory 原文定位：A high percentage said they would always try to learn their pieces by heart because it’s too easy to get lost;Quite a lot of them said it helps to listen to other people playing your chosen piece 同义替换：「select」↔「pieces」；「most frequently」↔「a high percentage」；「play from memory」↔「learn pieces by heart」；「hear others performing the same pieces」↔「listen to other people playing your chosen piece」 ### 27.
