I'm writing my report on the songwriting course for drama students. You know, the one-week residential course for drama students from different universities where you learn about writing songs. 00:01:11,860 Mm. 00:01:12,700 You did that course last year, didn't you? Could you give me some tips for the report? I'm having a few problems with it. 00:01:19,800 Yes, it was great. Well, Lorna, you could start by thinking about what you got out of it. 00:01:26,800 Hmm. Evaluating how useful it was is simple. The challenge is not to go over length. 00:01:33,720 Mm. Referring to published sources might help. That would make it more scholarly too. 00:01:39,080 Okay, I'll go with that. 00:01:41,500 And saying why you did the songwriting course is important. Some people just do it as another string to their bow to help with auditions for work and things. I thought it was a good opportunity to try out new techniques for communicating feelings and emotions. 00:01:56,840 Mm. 00:01:57,700 I was already confident about singing before I did it. 00:02:00,920 I thought it was the location of the course which made it special, being held in a country house rather than in a university. They were doing some building work on part of the house, though, so it wasn't always easy to concentrate. 00:02:14,640 Mm-hmm. I enjoyed the workshop most. How about you? 00:02:18,720 Well, we were divided into six small groups for the afternoon, each with their own advisor. That was the best bit for me, having that discussion with an expert. When we got into pairs to start writing our songs, the idea was to combine people with different levels of knowledge and experience. But my partner preferred working on her own generally. 00:02:41,920 Mm. And what did you think of the course content? I hadn't realized before how important the structure of a song is to its success. 00:02:49,720 Yes. We learned it's no use writing the most beautiful words and melodies if there's no shape. 00:02:56,380 Mm. 00:02:57,060 And we learned about the importance of a chorus in a song. 00:03:00,440 I knew about that stuff from my singing classes. It's a bit obvious, isn't it? 00:03:04,580 I suppose so. It was the input on lyrical styles and forms that I found tedious. You could always look them up on the web. 00:03:12,820 Anyway, how did you get on with writing your song? 00:03:16,040 It was tough, and Peggy, my partner, was hard work, which wasn't funny, and writing was a slow process as a result of our lack of communication. By the time we finished, I was exhausted. 00:03:30,080 Writing music from the heart is like that, especially by the end of a course. 00:03:37,620 Before you hear the rest of the discussion, you have some time to look at questions twenty-six to thirty. 00:04:09,180 Now listen and answer questions twenty-six to thirty. 00:04:16,399 Well, that's got the report sorted. Thanks. Have you decided which teacher's workshops you're going to do next term? 00:04:24,320 I want to do Bob Lacey's. He's got a brilliant reputation for voice coaching. You know, getting us to use dialects and different pronunciation and stuff. He gets you to do things like read out a newspaper article in character. It's amazing. 00:04:39,680 I'm thinking of going to Evelyn Chance's workshop. 00:04:42,860 Oh, Evelyn. She's quite a character. [chuckles] Is she running the stage fights course again? 00:04:48,240 Yes, fencing and pretend punches and throwing techniques. She really knows how to help actors use the whole of the space available. 00:04:58,200 Lots of people like Ted Winter's workshop. 00:05:01,000 Hmm. He knows how to deliver. He's keen on actors conveying emotion through their bodies and faces alone. It's a great way to reveal complex relationships and situations to an audience without making a speech of any kind. I'm definitely going to sign up for that one. 00:05:18,280 If you want to understand a director's ideas, Kevin Gray's workshop would be perfect for you. He likes telling people what to do, and he's always saying, "You can't have a company of actors reading a play any way they want because they'd end up fighting amongst themselves. They must listen to the director." 00:05:36,300 What about Dorothy Thomas? She's good at activities for getting rid of stress and, you know, emptying your mind of all thoughts about the past, and that can really help when acting. 00:05:48,580 Mm. Well, I think I'll put my name down for... 00:05:55,720 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 What problem is Lorna having with her report? 21 What problem is Lorna having with her report? - listening the references - keeping to the word limit - writing the evaluation **答案**：keeping to the word limit 原文定位：Evaluating how useful it was is simple.
