## 题目原文

00:00:00,660 
 Now listen carefully and answer questions twenty-one to twenty-three. 
 00:00:08,480 
 Hello, Ivan and Patricia. Come in and take a seat. You're looking a bit down today. Anything the matter? 
 00:00:15,980 
 Well, yes, I have to admit it. I'm having real trouble with the self-access sessions. I'm just not used to studying on my own. I just don't know how, and especially not listening skills in another language like the course we're taking. 
 00:00:31,220 
 Is that German for scientists? 
 00:00:33,840 
 Yes, that's right. 
 00:00:34,960 
 I've no idea what to do in the self-access sessions either. And yes, especially listening. 
 00:00:40,680 
 I just sit there and pretend to look busy. 
 00:00:43,040 
 Yeah, we're timetabled in there several times a week, you see. I can see people settling down to whatever it is they do, studying or looking at the foreign newspapers or whatever. I email my friends, but that's about it. 
 00:00:56,520 
 Hmm. Well, I'm very glad you've told me so we can get it sorted. Did you have a special introduction to self-access listening when you came? 
 00:01:05,220 
 Yes, we did, but it was quite crowded at the time. 
 00:01:08,620 
 Yeah, it was packed, and I was worried about my grant not arriving, and I just didn't take in everything that was said. Then when you get inside later, you feel a bit lost. 
 00:01:19,680 
 Well, let's use this tutorial to focus on listening skills today then, instead of reviewing your first month's work. I'm sure you can find a useful audio or video recording there to begin to base your work on. They're all graded according to difficulty, red for advanced and so on. And there's someone there to help. 
 00:01:40,000 
 Hmm. 
 00:01:41,620 
 You look a bit dubious, Ivan. You and Patricia could always work together. 
 00:01:45,920 
 Like study partners. 
 00:01:50,800 
 Before you hear the rest of the discussion, you have some time to look at questions twenty-four to thirty. 
 00:02:09,380 
 Now listen and answer questions twenty-four to thirty. 
 00:02:38,880 
 Well, say we choose an audio recording. I can't see how we'd begin to work. 
 00:02:44,360 
 Let's look at some different possibilities. It's best to start by trying to find the general meaning or main idea. This will help to develop your global listening strategies. 
 00:02:56,380 
 I see. What else can we do? 
 00:02:59,080 
 Well, you can listen out for keywords to help you understand the detail. Another thing you could do is stop the tape and predict what's going to come next. 
 00:03:09,040 
 I've never thought of that. 
 00:03:10,340 
 And then later, you can listen for specific information and practice note-taking. 
 00:03:15,380 
 We could spark ideas off each other. 
 00:03:17,800 
 Exactly. Now, with a video, you have other possibilities. You can look at the sorts of things we do at the same time as we speak. We call these paralinguistic features of language. Then you learn more about how real speakers of a language operate, the kind of eye contact they have and their gestures, you know, the way they use their hands and faces to express meaning. Another interesting thing to look at is the distance between speakers. What sort of distance seems normal? 
 00:03:49,040 
 Yes, I know that's different in different language groups. Some people just seem to get too near me, and then I back away. 
 00:03:57,260 
 So you need to be aware of all these things to communicate effectively. 
 00:04:01,280 
 Could I ask you one thing? Do you think dictation is useful? 
 00:04:05,020 
 Isn't it old-fashioned? 
 00:04:06,480 
 No. Actually, dictation's come into its own again, and it is a really valuable way of developing good listening skills. 
 00:04:13,440 
 So how could we do it using a video? Try to write down what's being said. 
 00:04:18,240 
 You might find that quite difficult unless you adopt some special strategies. One would be to listen to a small section of a video as often as you need to first and then try. 
 00:04:29,820 
 I saw there were some videos with scripts, so we could check our answers ourselves. 
 00:04:34,840 
 Yes, that would be a good way of doing it. 
 00:04:36,720 
 And some videos have got subtitles, haven't they? 
 00:04:39,160 
 Another good idea. You can stick a card over them and then see if you were correct. Uh, one final idea, why not watch something like a chat show on satellite TV? 
 00:04:50,660 
 That sounds great to me. No problems with that. 
 00:04:53,420 
 Yes, but watch for a purpose. Focus on one aspect of communication, like ways of questioning or responding. There's a lot to learn from that. 
 00:05:03,420 
 Thanks. Yeah. 
 00:05:03,990 
 It's been really useful. 
 00:05:04,740 
 Yeah. And don't forget, I'm here to help at any time, so do ask. 
 00:05:11,560 
 That is the end of part three. You now have forty-five seconds to check your answers to part three.
