## 题目原文

00:00:00,540 
 Section three. You will hear three geology students, Andy, Bob, and Helen, talking about forming a study syndicate for their forthcoming examinations. 
 00:00:12,600 
 First, you have some time to look at questions twenty-one to twenty-five on page six. 
 00:00:25,040 
 Now listen carefully and answer questions twenty-one to twenty-five. 
 00:00:46,920 
 Right, then. Are we ready, Bob, Helen? 
 00:00:49,300 
 Uh, yeah. 
 00:00:50,460 
 And is someone taking notes for John? He's at a tutorial, isn't he? 
 00:00:54,240 
 Yeah, I'll let him know what we agree. 
 00:00:56,100 
 Good. Okay. Well, first thing is, has anyone, apart from me, actually been in a study syndicate before? 
 00:01:02,620 
 No. 
 00:01:03,670 
 What does it actually involve, Andy? 
 00:01:06,360 
 Well, the idea is that it's a way for us, for students to study together without a teacher. 
 00:01:12,120 
 Oh, yeah. Right. 
 00:01:12,650 
 Oh, right. Hmm. 
 00:01:13,890 
 When I did it last time, I found it helpful because, well, as I said, there's no teacher, so it means we're teaching one another. And I found I, I really learned a lot through having to teach it myself. 
 00:01:25,220 
 It seemed a very good way to learn. 
 00:01:27,180 
 And presumably, it gives us the chance to share ideas as well. 
 00:01:31,200 
 And you get fuller notes if you're all doing the reading. 
 00:01:34,660 
 That's right. And as well as that, because of that, really, you can do, you know, much deeper research. So I thought we could try to revise what we've done on the geology course because I know this is the one that most of us are worried about, the geology exam. 
 00:01:49,780 
 Right. 
 00:01:50,360 
 Oh, yeah. 
 00:01:50,740 
 Yeah. 
 00:01:52,600 
 So the idea is we all look at a different topic, um, a different topic from the geology course and then give a presentation and talk about it. 
 00:02:02,280 
 That's right. I've drawn up the framework of a table which might be useful. Here, I've made a copy. 
 00:02:07,280 
 Oh, thanks. 
 00:02:07,810 
 Oh, thanks. 
 00:02:09,220 
 For the first topic, I thought we could maybe do mountain building. Is that all right? 
 00:02:13,380 
 Yeah, sure. A-actually, would you mind if I did that? I'm quite interested in it. 
 00:02:18,280 
 Right. 
 00:02:18,520 
 Right. 
 00:02:20,040 
 So is May ninth okay for that? 
 00:02:22,480 
 Mm-hmm. 
 00:02:23,080 
 Yeah. 
 00:02:23,480 
 I'll just write that down. And it's Bob for mountain building. And the following week, it can't be May sixteenth because of our tutorial. But what about the seventeenth? 
 00:02:32,640 
 Hmm. 
 00:02:33,020 
 Okay. 
 00:02:34,000 
 Uh, and what about the next topic? What would be the next priority? 
 00:02:38,500 
 Well, there's glaciated areas- 
 00:02:41,489 
 Oh. 
 00:02:41,870 
 ... but I don't want to do that. 
 00:02:44,300 
 Fair enough. Actually, I don't mind having a bash. I did an assignment on them. Glaciated areas, Andy. Then we need someone to do rock formation. Helen? 
 00:02:53,880 
 Yeah, okay. And John said he'd like to too, so you can put us both down for that. 
 00:02:58,520 
 When? 
 00:02:59,320 
 May twenty-third would be best. 
 00:03:01,560 
 Rock formation, Helen and John. Right. That really only leaves one week before the exams. Shall we make it on the thirtieth? 
 00:03:08,820 
 Uh, I can't make it, I'm afraid. 
 00:03:11,220 
 Twenty-ninth of May? The exam's on June third. 
 00:03:15,080 
 Have to be. Okay. 
 00:03:17,160 
 Any ideas for a topic? 
 00:03:18,820 
 Uh, John said he wouldn't mind doing something on volcanoes. 
 00:03:22,520 
 Great. That's everyone, then. 
 00:03:27,820 
 Before you hear the rest of the conversation, you have some time to look at questions twenty-six to thirty on page seven. 
 00:03:37,820 
 Now listen and answer questions twenty-six to thirty. 
 00:04:02,880 
 And, um, how long should these presentations be? 
 00:04:05,800 
 Well, it's obviously up to us. Uh, in my experience, thirty minutes is about enough. 
 00:04:10,140 
 Mm, maybe a bit short. I'd have thought forty minutes would be more like it. 
 00:04:15,580 
 Well, shall we say thirty to forty minutes? 
 00:04:17,860 
 Okay. 
 00:04:18,940 
 Sure. 
 00:04:18,959 
 A-and presumably time for questions. 
 00:04:21,160 
 And discussion. 
 00:04:22,360 
 Yes. Together, they usually take about twenty minutes. 
 00:04:25,380 
 Where should we get the information from? Is it mainly lecture notes? 
 00:04:29,400 
 Well, actually, I suggest we avoid those because we already have all that information. I think it's better to go more deeply. 
 00:04:35,720 
 We could use the bibliography. 
 00:04:37,600 
 And anything else we find in the library, any other books. 
 00:04:40,340 
 Mm, and articles, you know, from the journals. 
 00:04:44,160 
 And then, of course, there's lots of stuff on the Internet. 
 00:04:46,560 
 Yes, that's the sort of thing. 
 00:04:48,640 
 And what about the presentations? W-will we just be talking? Presumably, we, we can't use slides. 
 00:04:54,720 
 It'd be a bit difficult, but, uh, we can use the OHP. 
 00:04:57,760 
 And the whiteboard, of course. 
 00:04:59,600 
 And we can make photocopies of our notes so everyone can have a copy. 
 00:05:02,840 
 Yes. Great. So is there anything else? 
 00:05:09,520 
 That is the end of section three. You now have half a minute to check your answers.
