## 题目原文

00:00:00,700 
 Part three. 
 00:00:02,840 
 You will hear a conversation between a student called Jan and a tutor at the Language Study Centre of his university. 
 00:00:11,800 
 First, you'll have some time to look at questions twenty-one to twenty-six. 
 00:00:46,180 
 Now listen carefully and answer questions twenty-one to twenty-six. 
 00:00:55,200 
 Come in. Hello. Are you Jan Tchaikovsky? You've booked an appointment? 
 00:01:00,600 
 That's right. 
 00:01:01,440 
 Well, I'm Vicky McDonald, and I work here in the Language Study Centre. 
 00:01:05,660 
 I wanted to ask you for some advice. I'm a second-year law student. 
 00:01:09,480 
 So you'll have a dissertation next year? 
 00:01:11,720 
 Yes, and I'm really worried about such a long piece of writing. 
 00:01:15,940 
 Well, let me tell you about some of the facilities on offer. First, you can get individual tutorial help. You sign up on the appointment lists outside the English language staff room. Please put your email address so that we can get in touch with you. 
 00:01:31,640 
 Sorry, uh, I don't know where the staff room is. 
 00:01:35,360 
 In the Blackstone Library. 
 00:01:37,020 
 Oh, uh, on the ground floor? 
 00:01:39,340 
 No, it's on the upper level, room three oh one. 
 00:01:42,920 
 And I don't have to pay? 
 00:01:44,540 
 No, it's free to anyone registered with the university. That's excluding anyone paying fees for intensive courses with the language center. 
 00:01:52,720 
 That's a relief. 
 00:01:53,940 
 If you prefer to work on your own, you can always go to the language resources room. 
 00:01:58,640 
 Where's that? I always get lost. 
 00:02:01,000 
 In the Modern Languages building. That's behind Arts C Block by the restaurant. 
 00:02:07,020 
 And is it useful there? 
 00:02:08,539 
 Yes. You'll find a wide range of multimedia resources like CDs and videos with worksheets and learning materials. 
 00:02:15,640 
 Really? 
 00:02:16,560 
 And you'll find advisors there every evening from five till eight thirty if you have any problems. 
 00:02:22,120 
 That's good. So they could look at my dissertation too, could they? 
 00:02:25,740 
 Not really. They're there to guide you around the resources, so you can find the help you need. Do you know that we've also set up a small self-access room in the law department? Have you seen it? 
 00:02:37,440 
 Yes, but I haven't worked there yet. 
 00:02:39,580 
 When you do, we'd be interested in any feedback on how useful you find it. It's a new venture. And you'll find you can access the electronic journals there easily, which will save you a lot of money. 
 00:02:51,000 
 Okay. Well, thanks very much for your help. 
 00:02:56,660 
 Before you hear the rest of the conversation, you have some time to look at questions twenty-seven to thirty. 
 00:03:23,440 
 Now listen and answer questions twenty-seven to thirty. 
 00:03:30,900 
 Can I just ask you about the classes? 
 00:03:33,380 
 They'll start again in October. Well, there are two courses you might find useful. The first is a class for academic writing. 
 00:03:42,380 
 For all faculties? 
 00:03:43,580 
 Yes. The course concentrates on a number of functions common to academic writing in general. For example, the language you use to describe similarities and differences. And as the course progresses, there will be the opportunity to relate the content to work in your own discipline. 
 00:04:00,340 
 I haven't had too many problems with descriptions, but I've got a problem with writing summaries of cases. Would that be covered too? 
 00:04:07,380 
 Definitely. Let me see. The other functions we concentrate on are cause and effect. 
 00:04:13,060 
 That's always seemed quite straightforward to me, but what I really need is language for making generalizations. Is that on the list? 
 00:04:20,300 
 Yes, it is. 
 00:04:21,360 
 And when I have to discuss things in terms of categories or classes, y-you know, the language for that? 
 00:04:27,560 
 Yes, that's here too. There'll be a lot of opportunity to work on that. 
 00:04:32,720 
 Can I just tell you, I've got quite a few problems in the basic structure of my dissertation. I've no idea how to organize it, what to put at the beginning, for example. 
 00:04:42,060 
 Well, there's a course which lasts a term covering the conventions of academic writing. For example, introductions, as you've just mentioned, and then things like referring to other sources, reporting results, conclusions, and bibliographies. 
 00:04:59,400 
 Good. And could you tell me about the second course you mentioned? 
 00:05:03,190 
 The content is the same, but it takes less time. It's a weekend workshop. 
 00:05:07,920 
 Can I enroll for any of these courses now or when I come back on September the twenty-first? 
 00:05:12,140 
 No, I'm afraid you'll have to wait for the beginning of the academic year. That's anytime in the fortnight from the eighth to the twenty-second of October. Classes begin on the twenty-fifth. 
 00:05:23,660 
 Well, thanks very much for your help. I'm feeling much more positive about my dissertation already. 
 00:05:28,740 
 Good. 
 00:05:32,740 
 That is the end of part three. You now have forty-five seconds to check your answers to Part three.
