## 题目原文

00:00:02,120 
 Part three. 
 00:00:04,120 
 You will hear a student talking to a tutor at her college about the possibility of changing her course. 
 00:00:11,280 
 First, you have some time to look at questions twenty-one to twenty-four. 
 00:00:35,180 
 Now listen carefully and answer questions twenty-one to twenty-four. 
 00:00:42,680 
 Ah, hello. Do come in. 
 00:00:44,640 
 Thanks. 
 00:00:46,000 
 I understand you wanted to see me about changing courses. 
 00:00:49,720 
 Yes, that's right. 
 00:00:51,200 
 Well, that's fine. Uh, do sit down. 
 00:00:53,660 
 Oh, thank you. 
 00:00:54,680 
 Now, you're Sally Layman. 
 00:00:57,160 
 That's it. 
 00:00:58,540 
 Right then, Sally. And, uh, what course are you doing at the present? 
 00:01:02,980 
 It's economic history. 
 00:01:04,580 
 Uh-huh. And when did you start? 
 00:01:07,300 
 Last September. 
 00:01:08,960 
 Right. Good. Now, of course, we'll have the chance to talk through any problems you've been having in a moment, but let me just make a note of what courses you might be interested in changing to. 
 00:01:20,860 
 Well, there are several that I've thought about, but what I'd like to do most is politics. 
 00:01:26,500 
 Well, that is a very popular course. 
 00:01:29,440 
 I know. And there might not be places, but- 
 00:01:32,080 
 Sure. I'll certainly take a note of that. But what about another option? 
 00:01:37,280 
 Well, I had thought of changing course completely and trying business studies, but then I realized it wasn't really me, so I thought of philosophy. 
 00:01:49,820 
 Before you hear the rest of the discussion, you have some time to look at questions twenty-five to thirty. 
 00:02:26,140 
 Now listen and answer questions twenty-five to thirty. 
 00:02:33,060 
 Right. Well, that's useful to know. But if at all possible, it is good to talk through the problems you are having at the moment and see if there's any way we can help or that you can help yourself. After all, with all the effort that you've put in already, it would be a pity to have to start all over again. 
 00:02:50,720 
 Oh, no, I realize that. And actually, I would like to have a go at staying with economic history. 
 00:02:56,180 
 Good. Yeah. Well, let's see. Let's talk through some of the problems you've been having. 
 00:03:03,000 
 What would you say was your major difficulty on the course? 
 00:03:06,980 
 I think I'd have to say the worst thing is that I find the lectures difficult. 
 00:03:12,020 
 Aha. And, uh, how have you tried to overcome this? 
 00:03:17,360 
 Well, I did try recording lectures, you know. 
 00:03:20,100 
 Yes, that's a good idea. And did you find it helped? 
 00:03:23,980 
 To a certain extent, but... 
 00:03:26,620 
 Well, I would certainly continue with that strategy, but you might also like to try getting together with other fellow students to discuss lectures in what we call a discussion group. 
 00:03:37,540 
 Yeah, I've heard of some of my course mates doing that. I could certainly ask if I could join. 
 00:03:43,340 
 Good. I'm sure you'd find it a help. And any other problems? 
 00:03:48,880 
 Well, this really worried me at the beginning. The fact that there are not enough tutorials. 
 00:03:54,700 
 Not enough tutorials. Did you talk to your tutor about it? 
 00:03:58,880 
 Yeah. That was what I thought was the best strategy. It's what all the student handbooks say. 
 00:04:04,140 
 Yeah. And what was the outcome? 
 00:04:06,160 
 Well, really, just that she's very busy, and I have to fit in tutorials when she's available, which is really difficult. 
 00:04:13,600 
 I agree. It must seem that way. Why don't you try arranging meetings in advance? 
 00:04:19,740 
 Well, I can certainly give it a go. 
 00:04:21,980 
 Yeah. 
 00:04:22,560 
 But I suppose the thing that's been really upsetting me recently is my bad assignment grade. 
 00:04:29,480 
 How many have you had back? 
 00:04:31,480 
 Just the one. 
 00:04:32,980 
 Well, you could say it was early days yet. 
 00:04:35,640 
 Well, for the last assignment, which we've just handed in, I did more background reading. 
 00:04:40,520 
 And did you feel that helped? 
 00:04:42,640 
 Oh, yes, I think so. 
 00:04:45,240 
 Well, another strategy might be visiting student services. They offer a lot of advice on assignment preparation. 
 00:04:53,500 
 Well, I didn't want to bother them. 
 00:04:55,680 
 That's their job. It'd be well worth trying. 
 00:04:59,360 
 Okay, I'll certainly look into that. 
 00:05:02,060 
 Now, what I've done here is to keep a record of our discussions and suggested strategies. And what we normally do is to ask you to try out our suggestions for a while and then come back to discuss the situation, see whether it's improved. And if not, then we can start thinking seriously about those alternative courses. 
 00:05:23,020 
 So you'd like me to come back? 
 00:05:25,120 
 Yes. Let's say in a month's time. 
 00:05:28,220 
 Okay. 
 00:05:29,320 
 That'd be on seventeenth of February at three thirty. Is that all right? 
 00:05:34,880 
 Yeah, sure. And will I meet with you? 
 00:05:37,700 
 I'm afraid I'll be on leave at that time, but I'll leave this record on file, and you'll be meeting our senior advisor. 
 00:05:44,760 
 Senior advisor. 
 00:05:47,400 
 Okay, fine. 
 00:05:48,700 
 Lovely. Well, I do hope things improve, Sally, and that the change won't be necessary. And if it is, well, we can think about that later. Okay? 
 00:05:58,520 
 Okay. Thanks very much. 
 00:06:00,320 
 Pleasure. Good luck. 
 00:06:05,580 
 That is the end of part three. You now have one minute to check your answers to part three.
