Come in. 00:01:09,780 I just wanted to go through the first draft of your report on the field trip to the coastal sand dunes. 00:01:16,400 Thank you. I'd really like some feedback. I found it quite hard to do. 00:01:22,220 Yes, but these reports are really important. You did a great presentation on the planning of the trip before you went, and we've already decided to include that in your portfolio. 00:01:33,480 Mm-hmm. 00:01:34,160 But writing up the report's equally important, because if you can identify an area that's caught your interest, you may decide to choose that as your speciality for next term. 00:01:45,500 Okay. So what do you think of this first draft? 00:01:50,600 Well, there's one problem, but it's something that can be easily remedied. Did you download the template for reports from the website? 00:01:59,140 I didn't know there was one. 00:02:01,960 Look on the course site under report writing. 00:02:04,860 Mm-hmm. 00:02:05,630 The homepage is a bit confusing, but once you've got that template, you'll see what we're expecting from a report. Other than that, I think you'll easily meet the word count as you collected lots of data. Now, first tell me, how did your group go about choosing the exact location? It's important to explain that in the report. 00:02:29,600 We didn't want to influence our results in any way. So instead of studying a map and choosing an area that looked as if it would provide useful data, we listed six possible locations, and then we just tossed a dice. We ended up with an area just south of the jetty, nice and easy to get to. 00:02:50,480 And what did you personally see as your main aim during the field trip? 00:02:55,800 Well, we were looking at coastal sand dunes and analyzing whether there's any marked change in vegetation type and coverage as you go inland. And although we'd been told that one of the main objectives was to use the field work techniques we'd learnt about, I wanted to look at soil structure. The others were focusing on things like the range of species and the density of the vegetation. 00:03:21,840 Interesting. 00:03:23,220 And in the group I was working in, there were people from another college. Can I include their data in my report? 00:03:31,600 Well, what are the advantages of doing that? 00:03:35,660 Well, we all looked at the same area of land, so they didn't collect any different data. But by adding theirs, it gives me a bigger sample, and that must make the results more reliable. That's how you can really test a hypothesis, I think. 00:03:51,600 Good point. So include it. 00:03:54,740 Now, let's look at the introduction in a bit more detail. 00:03:59,200 Your reasons for carrying out the study are fully described, as are the ways you collected your information. 00:04:06,400 Then you go on to the measurements you took. Was that easy to do? 00:04:10,780 Some of them took longer than others. For example, getting the proportion of sand to vegetation. But I soon got used to the equipment and could get the elevation of the sand dunes quite quickly. [chuckles] It was funny to see some people trying to measure how high plants were [chuckles] as the plants waved about in the wind. 00:04:32,120 [chuckles] I can imagine. 00:04:37,220 Before you hear the rest of the discussion, you have some time to look at questions twenty-seven to thirty. 00:04:49,860 Now listen and answer questions twenty-seven to thirty. 00:05:10,700 Okay. Now, we'd like to have your feedback on the trip, as we're keen to make any necessary improvements for future trips. 00:05:18,420 Okay. 00:05:19,500 So first, the equipment. Was it easy to use? 00:05:23,900 It was once you got used to it. It would have been good if we could have found out how to use it at college before we went, though. It's not exactly simple to use. 00:05:34,620 I've noted that down. 00:05:36,860 Now, the data collection sheets you used, I wonder if they could be made more user-friendly by cutting down the number of columns on each page. 00:05:46,560 Yes. [chuckles] I think the information would still be clearly organized. 00:05:51,370 And what did you think of the reference materials? 00:05:54,740 Well, we had problems identifying some vegetation. 00:05:58,500 Was that because you didn't get a full picture from the books you were using? 00:06:02,120 Yes, I think so. 00:06:03,540 Hmm. And finally, how did you feel about working with people you didn't know in your group? 00:06:10,080 Well, you probably need to discuss this with everyone, but for me, it meant I learnt a lot from others too. So I think that's a pattern you should stick to. 00:06:22,420 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 The tutor tells Charlotte that the report is important it will 21 The tutor tells Charlotte that the report is important it will - go into her portfolio - help her choose her next study option - form the basis of next term`s presentation **答案**：help her choose her next study option 原文定位：But writing up the report's equally important, because if you can identify an area that's caught your interest, you may decide to choose that as your speciality for next term 同义替换：「help her choose her next study option」↔「choose that as your speciality for next term」 ### 22. 22 What is the tutor`s first impression of Charlotte`s report? 22 What is the tutor`s first impression of Charlotte`s report? - it is under length - it doesn`t follow the required format - it contains confusing statistical data **答案**：it doesn`t follow the required format 原文定位：Did you download the template for reports from the website;I didn't know there was one 同义替换：「doesn’t follow the required format」↔「didn’t use the template」 ### 23. 23 How did Charlotte`s group choose the exact location to study? 23 How did Charlotte`s group choose the exact location to study? - they chose a location that had easy access - they found an interesting location on a map - they chose a location at random **答案**：they chose a location at random 原文定位：We listed six possible locations, and then we just tossed a dice 同义替换：「at random」↔「tossed a dice」；「exact」↔「six possible」 ### 24. 24 What was Charlotte`s personal aim for the field trip? 24 What was Charlotte`s personal aim for the field trip? - to collect information on the range of vegetation - to apply good fieldwork techniques - to analyze the composition of the soil **答案**：to analyze the composition of the soil 原文定位：I wanted to look at soil structure 同义替换：「personal aim」↔「wanted to」；「analyze the composition of the soil」↔「look at soil structure」 ### 25. 25 Why does Charlotte want to include other students` data in her report? 25 Why does Charlotte want to include other students` data in her report? - to make her findings more valid - to vary the type of data collected - to test several hypotheses **答案**：to make her findings more valid 原文定位：by adding theirs, it gives me a bigger sample, and that must make the results more reliable 同义替换：「make her findings more valid」↔「make the results more reliable」 ### 26. 26 Which measurements did Charlotte find easy to take? 26 Which measurements did Charlotte find easy to take? - the elevation of the land - the height of the vegetation - the ration of sand to vegetation **答案**：the elevation of the land 原文定位：It would have been good if we could have found out how to use it at college before we went 同义替换：「more training needed before trip」↔「how to use it before we went」 ### 27. equipment equipment - more training needed before trip - reduce complexity - repeat on future trips - offer a wider range - organize additional tasks - more details required during trip **答案**：more training needed before trip 原文定位：It would have been good if we could have found out how to use it at college before we went 同义替换：「more training needed before trip」↔「how to use it before we went」 ### 28. data collection sheets data collection sheets - more training needed before trip - reduce complexity - repeat on future trips - offer a wider range - organize additional tasks - more details required during trip **答案**：reduce complexity 原文定位：I wonder if they could be made more user-friendly by cutting down the number of columns 同义替换：「reduce complexity」↔「cutting down the number of columns」 ### 29. reference material reference material - more training needed before trip - reduce complexity - repeat on future trips - offer a wider range - organize additional tasks - more details required during trip **答案**：more details required during trip 原文定位：We had problems identifying some vegetation;you didn't get a full picture from the books you were using 同义替换：「more details required during trip」↔「didn’t get a full picture」；「reference material」↔「books you were using」 ### 30. structures of groups structures of groups - more training needed before trip - reduce complexity - repeat on future trips - offer a wider range - organize additional tasks - more details required during trip **答案**：repeat on future trips 原文定位：I think that's a pattern you should stick to 同义替换：「repeat on future trips」↔「stick to」；「structures of groups」↔「working with people you didn’t know」 --- 以上内容由鸭圈雅思真题库（www.yaquan.site）提供，收录近期雅思考试真题回忆，支持在线机考模式免费练习。
