You will hear two students named Mona and Ted talking about a presentation on design development. First, you have some time to look at questions twenty-one to twenty-six. 00:00:21,400 Now listen carefully and answer questions twenty-one to twenty-six. 00:00:48,500 Ted, you've looked at my presentation, haven't you? What do you think of it? 00:00:53,880 Hey, Mona. Yes, I have. Before giving you some advice, I have a question. Why didn't you write about the development of design and its influence or connection with social advancement or even art movement? In my opinion, this direction would have more significance. 00:01:11,060 Actually, I just want to focus on the history of design. I'm particularly interested in its history from the eighteen hundreds. That's why I wrote about it. 00:01:20,500 I see. It could save some effort. 00:01:24,000 Not really. I've covered different areas of design, such as building, clothing, and products. It's a lot of work. 00:01:33,280 Right. Is it because you want to give a comprehensive talk? 00:01:36,980 To be honest, I was worried about my teacher's reaction. If I only talk about one area, she might think I've been lazy. 00:01:45,540 You know what? Even though it's okay to talk about different aspects, I think the topic is too broad. It would be hard for the listeners to focus on any specific area. 00:01:55,500 Um, 00:01:57,200 you are right. I only have about forty-five minutes for the talk. Maybe I should narrow the range. 00:02:03,680 That would be much better. And you can use computer technology to assist you in your presentation, like using the CAD or other computer software. 00:02:12,540 I'm not sure. Although computer technology can improve the visual effects of my presentation, I'd rather use the traditional way since I'm talking about the history of design. I guess traditional media is more affected by computers rather than designing industry. 00:02:28,960 That makes sense. You could do it your own way. As for the content, you mentioned purism, and you said it can save people's effort. I don't really agree with that. I think it's not really easy to achieve. On the other hand, I do think it's important to apply this concept in architecture. I mean, the building should look simple and elegant. 00:02:47,860 That's a good point. Ted, what do you think I should do to further improve my talk? 00:02:52,880 Well, I think you have read enough books about it, so it's not the theories that you lack. Why don't you visit the Design Museum in the north of the city? One of my friends went there last month, and he said it was worth it. I am sure it can give you some inspiration. 00:03:08,960 Before you hear the rest of the discussion, you have some time to look at questions twenty-seven to thirty. 00:03:20,260 Now listen and answer questions twenty-seven to thirty. 00:03:40,360 How do you usually prepare for a presentation? You have done it many times, right? 00:03:45,720 You can say that. When I prepare for a presentation, I would first try to come up with an introduction telling the audience what my topic is. It's very important to grasp people's attention and let them know what you want to talk about. 00:03:59,700 Okay, I think so. A good beginning can mean everything. 00:04:04,200 Exactly. Maybe you could use a story to start. Step two, I would research deeper into the topic and give the audience something new. 00:04:14,300 Yeah, that's what I've been working on. I always try to look for more related information online. I want them to learn something from my presentation. 00:04:23,320 Since you work so hard, they will like it. I noticed that you use a lot of pictures in your slides. What I would do is put a statement under each picture, so the audience would know what exactly the pictures are about. 00:04:37,240 I just thought it would be more impressive to use only pictures. All right. I will add that. 00:04:43,640 In the next step, you should try illustrating slide by slide. Each slide should only contain one thought or idea, so all of these thoughts will link together in your illustration. 00:04:53,680 This step would need a lot of practice. 00:04:56,820 Exactly. A lot of practice is needed before you stand in front of the real audience. There's one final step you should not forget. I suggest you prepare some text handouts with important details. 00:05:09,300 What are they for? 00:05:10,730 The audience can reflect on what you talk about in and after your presentation. 00:05:15,380 I've never thought about that. Thank you so much. Ted, you're a great help. 00:05:21,020 No problem, Mona. 00:05:24,080 That is the end of section three. You now have half a minute to check your answers. ## 题目与答案 ### 21. 21 Mona's presentation topic is about 21 Mona's presentation topic is about - design development from 1800s - design development and social advancement - design development and art movement **答案**：design development from 1800s 原文定位：I just want to focus on the history of design.
