   • understanding grammatical rules
   • developing summarizing skills

2. 22 Geoff says that the interviewing Techniques module was useful for
   • preparing government press releases
   • doing background research for his department manager
   • gathering material for the in-house newsletter

   答案：gathering material for the in-house newsletter

   原文定位：I never had to conduct interviews for that, but I did have to interview people for the in-house newsletter, so it came in handy there. When the manager asked me to get background information for her, it was always just from written material, though

4. 24 Geoff thought that the book Government and the Press was

   原文定位：Before we started our placements, the tutor asked us to read the book Government and the Press. I liked it, and since it was published just this year, it was quite current. But it dealt with national affairs and wasn't applicable locally;No, that's why I didn't use it at all

   同义替换：「irrelevant to his needs」↔「wasn't applicable locally」
