## 题目原文

00:00:03,080 
 Hi, Eva. Is this a good time for us to look at our research project? Our tutor told us to keep the focus narrow. So what about we go for why people choose to go to certain places and attractions and leave the rest out? 
 00:00:19,040 
 You're right. Otherwise, we'll have far too much information to cope with. Okay, so what about the survey? 
 00:00:27,560 
 Well, I've looked through the ideas we had for questions for it, and I think it's not clear how we use the word area. Sometimes it seems to mean a place, other times the field of our research, and even tourist attraction in some cases. 
 00:00:43,520 
 Oh, I think that's my fault. I typed out our notes. 
 00:00:48,360 
 Oh. It's probably best to use it for place in the sense of province or whatever. 
 00:00:54,520 
 Yes, I think so. You know, we decided to concentrate on culture and tourism. I wonder if we're really saying culture in the same way as most people do, because on our list of places to carry out our surveys, I see you've put the Round Music Festival, which is contemporary music. I thought we were going to be looking at more traditional forms of culture. 
 00:01:19,780 
 That would be confirming these old-fashioned ideas that culture has to be something that's at least one hundred years old. 
 00:01:26,980 
 But that is what most people think. 
 00:01:29,920 
 Well, let's not get into an argument about that right now. Let's think about the number of completed questionnaires we need. In total, how many questionnaires do you think we have to get? One hundred? Two hundred? And over how many different events? 
 00:01:47,480 
 Hmm. Our tutor said we should have at least two hundred. Otherwise, the information won't actually mean that much. And I think it's not practical to try to go to more than about five events. We've got to get the first draft in by the end of February. 
 00:02:05,160 
 And do you think we should interview everybody or just tourists? 
 00:02:09,600 
 Hmm. Because presumably there'd be local people, domestic tourists, and international tourists at some events. 
 00:02:17,960 
 In fact, the more I think about it, the more I think we should just go for the tourists, but from overseas as well as national. I'm sure we'd be able to provide more interesting results if we did that. 
 00:02:31,660 
 Right. 
 00:02:32,640 
 There's one thing that worries me, though. 
 00:02:35,240 
 What's that? 
 00:02:36,600 
 We said it's important to get some background on the people who answer our questions, like what's their job, what they thought about the event. But the idea of asking people how old they are... 
 00:02:49,420 
 Hmm. We can just ask them to tick a box with an age in it and tell them they don't have to do it if they don't want to. We could write in our own estimate when we've finished. 
 00:03:01,560 
 Are you sure that would be okay? 
 00:03:03,780 
 Yes. It's not the most crucial piece of information they're giving. We're going to have a lot of facts and figures to present. Have you any preference for putting them into a pie chart, a table, or a graph? 
 00:03:17,580 
 Tables are easy to do, but I read that most people find pie charts visually stimulating. I hate reading graphs because unless they're quite big, you don't get exact figures. 
 00:03:30,600 
 Pie chart sounds good. How are we going to divide up the work? 
 00:03:35,640 
 If it's okay with you, I'd like us to meet as often as possible to look at what we've each written up. But we should do the actual writing on our own. 
 00:03:46,260 
 Before you hear the rest of the discussion, you have some time to look at questions twenty-seven. 
 00:03:53,760 
 Okay. Would this be a good time to discuss our introduction? An overview of tourism around the world, looking at different tourist attractions in different countries. But there are so many to choose from, though, so let's narrow it down. 
 00:04:09,600 
 Absolutely. 
 00:04:11,120 
 I found out that Mexico celebrates the fact that it produces a huge number of varieties of chilies, and people flock to this special event to taste dishes using them. A lot of people think of Mexico as being the best place to see fantastic museums. 
 00:04:29,900 
 That's true, but let's take a different tact. What about Greece? One of the world's most famous countries for tourists. 
 00:04:38,000 
 Yes, and I think we should go for the ruins in this case, the temples and theaters and so on, rather than the food. 
 00:04:47,080 
 And for Britain, instead of focusing on the countryside and parks, I'd like to find out more about why people go to see plays and musicals. Is it because there's such a good choice? 
 00:04:59,540 
 Hmm, interesting point. And for India, instead of concentrating on the temples or the game parks, we could mention all the different folk dances. Every region has its own, and they don't just perform them at festivals. They're part of everyday life. 
 00:05:18,480 
 Okay, we've got more than enough. Let's draft the introduction. 
 00:05:23,460 
 That is the end of part three. You now have half a minute to check your answers.
