I haven't seen you for ages. How have you been? 00:00:45,680 Oh, hi, Lara. I'm great. I've just joined a local book club that meets every Wednesday, and I'm really enjoying it. Next week, we're discussing the novels of Charles Dickens. I'm really looking forward to it as he's my favorite author. 00:00:59,700 Yes, absolutely. His novels are wonderful. I attend a Dickens book club too. Would you like to do a practice session with me in preparation for your meeting? 00:01:09,840 Sure. That sounds great. Let's start by discussing the main characters in David Copperfield and the ways in which they're affected by the events of the story as it develops. What do you think of Rosy? 00:01:21,020 I think that she's a really sweet character in the beginning, but as the story progresses, she becomes bitter because of how her relationships had turned out in the past. 00:01:30,720 That's true. Her sisters all marry and live happily ever after, but she ends up alone. It is very interesting to see how deeply the change in her personality affects her relationships. 00:01:41,340 What is your opinion of Flory? 00:01:43,680 I find her very manipulative. She seems intent on seeking attention, so whenever she wants something from her family members, she persistently acts in a very silly manner, just like a kid. Unfortunately, many people do not realize this, and so they give her the attention that she's seeking, which only encourages her to continue behaving this way. 00:02:03,540 Yes, Flory is the complete opposite of Lizzie. Lizzie is very sensitive, and she has a true perceptiveness into how people are feeling and how they behave, which enables her to act appropriately towards them. She is very kind and generous and cares about how people feel. 00:02:22,480 That's true, and I really like her character too. My least favorite character is Estelle because she acts so selfishly and gets enjoyment from making others suffer. Unfortunately, there are many people like her in the world who intend to make others feel like this. 00:02:38,520 It's interesting how you can associate so many of the characters with people that you know in real life. I think that the reason why Dickens is so good at creating deep and believable characters is because he understands human mentality. 00:02:57,140 Before you hear the rest of the conversation, you'll have some time to look at questions twenty-five to thirty. 00:03:08,640 Now listen and answer questions twenty-five to thirty. 00:03:51,020 Absolutely. What do you think of the literature lectures? 00:03:54,240 I really look forward to them. They're the highlight of my week. The lecturer is usually late, but that gives you time to settle down and get organized before the lecture begins. 00:04:04,860 Do you have a discussion period at the end? 00:04:07,030 No, I don't think so. We're meant to, but since the lectures often begin late, this means that there is no time left for a conversation about the lecture. I think this is a real shame because it really helps you to gain a good understanding of the books when you hear other people's opinion of it. What about your lectures? 00:04:27,420 My lecturers have very good organization skills, so their lectures are well organized and packed full of information. They always leave enough time at the end for consideration when everyone is really quiet, and we reflect on the lecture in our own minds before we open up for discussion. This really helps you to gather your thoughts and absorb the information from the lecture. 00:04:47,880 Oh, that sounds brilliant. 00:04:49,920 Do you think there is anything that needs to be improved? 00:04:52,600 My experience of the course overall is really brilliant, but I feel there are many improvements that could be made to it. The IT support staff are great, but there are just not enough computers available for the numbers of people that need to use them. Every time that I need to use a computer, I have to queue up for at least fifteen minutes. 00:05:12,600 I find that the librarians are really helpful and approachable. However, the equipment is just not good enough. Whenever I need to use the photocopying facilities, for example, most of the machines are really old and slow, which means that you have to wait for ages for them to work. It's really frustrating because I'm often stretched for time. 00:05:32,560 Perhaps we should start a petition to encourage the university to improve their facilities. 00:05:38,300 That sounds good. 00:05:39,580 What do you think of the group discussions? 00:05:42,260 I really enjoy them. Since the class groups are so small, everyone gets to have their say and contribute thoughts to the conversation, so the classes are really effective. The only issue is that it's very difficult to find an opportunity to meet up since everyone has such busy schedules. 00:05:59,960 Yes, definitely. In our class, we pass around a ball, and only the person holding the ball is allowed to speak. Each person is only allowed to speak for a minute at a time, which helps us to make sure that we use the class time fairly, and it also makes the discussion more fun. 00:06:18,020 That's true. It's been really great catching up with you. Thanks for your help. 00:06:22,500 No problem. Good luck at your class. Bye. ## 题目与答案 ### 21.
