You will hear two students named Rick and Nina discussing about selective courses. First, you have some time to look at questions twenty-one to twenty-six. 00:00:13,920 Now 00:00:43,180 listen carefully and answer questions twenty-one to twenty-six. 00:00:50,080 Hey, Nina, have you chosen a selective course yet? 00:00:54,120 Not really, Rick. I haven't made up my mind yet. What about you? 00:00:58,960 Me either. We have to decide as soon as possible, though. 00:01:03,300 Why? Today's not the final day for choosing selective courses, is it? 00:01:08,820 No, but they'll be booked up very soon. Actually, some courses are already full. 00:01:14,660 Really? That's too bad. 00:01:18,000 Well, I was thinking of taking a language course. What do you think? 00:01:22,600 Yes, you can do that. You can choose all courses on the school website except mathematics, since it's a required course for all students. By the way, I think business course is a good choice. 00:01:36,500 Yeah, it's not bad. I think it's going to be quite helpful after we graduate. 00:01:42,120 I think so. Guess what? I wanted to choose information statistics. 00:01:47,460 Why? 00:01:48,340 It's related to our major, so I think it's very useful for us. I mean, we will have an advantage in job hunting, but the bad thing is, it's in the morning, so we have to skip other classes in order to take it. 00:02:03,360 That's not good. We need to find an alternative that is more convenient for us. 00:02:08,979 I know, it's a shame. Nina, I think we need to get to know the courses more before choosing them. Otherwise, we may end up studying something that's either boring or useless. 00:02:21,280 You are right. 00:02:23,080 Maybe we can look online to see if there's information about it. We could also ask our parents for advice. 00:02:30,420 I don't think that's going to help much. People have all kinds of opinions online. We wouldn't know which one to listen to, and our parents probably don't know much about our field. I think the best way is asking the former students who have taken the class themselves. They can tell us how they thought about it from their own experience. 00:02:52,340 Oh, yes, they know it better than anyone. Just like how much we know the art design class. 00:02:59,260 Yes. Before we took it last year, many people said on the Internet that it was quite confusing, but it turned out to be quite easy and helpful, right? 00:03:09,480 Mm-hmm. It didn't let us down. I definitely value the course. Design is an important skill in today's world. 00:03:18,900 Well, whatever course we want to choose, there are still things I need to figure out. 00:03:24,040 What do you mean? Do you mean things like the time of the courses? 00:03:29,080 Since it's the first time we can choose selective courses, I need to know how to register. I think there will be instruction on our school website for registration. I'll let you know. 00:03:40,880 You are so considerate, Nina. I think that's necessary. We need to make sure we can register as soon as we make up our mind. 00:03:51,340 Before you hear the rest of the discussion, you have some time to look at questions twenty-seven to thirty. 00:04:02,060 Now listen and answer questions twenty-seven to thirty. 00:04:25,440 The courses we studied last semester were quite interesting. Maybe we could get some inspiration from those courses. Do you think so? 00:04:35,220 Well, yeah, some of them were quite fun for me, such as metallurgy, though there were quite a lot of terms to remember. 00:04:45,220 But there's also a lot of useful information about it on the Internet, which made things easier. 00:04:51,040 That's right. I can refer to many things when I was working on the paper. 00:04:56,080 And the professor in fluid mechanics was really patient. His explanation was crystal clear, so students had no difficulty understanding it. 00:05:05,800 Yes, that's true. I was good at this course. What do you think of computing? 00:05:11,940 I think it was kind of boring in the beginning. Do you think so? 00:05:16,180 That's exactly how I felt. There are a lot of numbers to deal with, but thankfully, it got more interesting when the course went on. 00:05:24,900 Right, because later we could relate the theories to real-life examples. 00:05:30,240 Exactly. Another course that I think was really practical is energy economy. 00:05:36,660 Oh, yes. There are a lot of practical works in the course. What we learned can come in handy in our future jobs. 00:05:45,220 We should make the decision based on our own experience and preference. 00:05:49,380 Yeah. Anyway, we really need to hurry up. 00:05:52,520 I'm sure we can reach a conclusion today. 00:05:57,140 That is the end of section three. You now have half a minute to check your answers. ## 题目与答案 ### 21. 21 Why should they choose selective course immediately? 21 Why should they choose selective course immediately? - It's the final day - It will be full very soon - They don't have time later on **答案**：It will be full very soon 原文定位：Me either.
