　　Part V.Informal and formal scenes in IBT

 

　　1. Scene I: consultation of homework or project

 

　　Requirement

 

　　Judgment of difficulty

 

　　Possibility of delay

 

　　Discussion on score

 

　　Relative materials

 

　　Example 1: Emily Carr

 

　　What does the professor mean by saying this?

 

　　A He is sure that some slides are missing.

 

　　B He thinks it possible that some slides are missing.

 

　　C He is sure how slides can disappear from the library.

 

　　D He thinks that some slides are just misplaced in the library.

 

　　S: Hello, Doctor Reiner. I would like to discuss my presentation topic for the 19th and 20th century Art History lecture.

 

　　P: O.k. Marie, what artist have you chosen to discuss?

 

　　S: My presentation topic will be on Emily Carr, the famous West Coast Canadian female painter; I also am inspired by her sense of adventure. I find the fact that through her many paintings she has documented a way of life that has all but disappeared for many coastal aboriginal communities interesting.

 

　　P: Well, Marie, the painter Emily Carr sounds like a good choice. Nobody in the class has picked her yet, and you sound really enthusiastic about her life and work. It should be interesting. Remember, when planning your slides, the presentation should be no longer than ten to fifteen minutes. Please try and keep to this as we have ten presentations to run through that day.

 

　　S: Thanks, Doctor Reiner. One other thing, do you know if the schools’ Fine Arts library has a good collection of her work on slide, or do you think I will have to make my own?

 

　　P: Hmmm, from what I remember we do have quite a few of her paintings in our slide collection. However, you should check with the Fine Arts librarian. You know how slides can go missing…

 

　　S: That’s great! I’ll do that this afternoon. Thanks for your time, Doctor Reiner.

 

　　P: Your welcome, Marie, see you in class next week.

 

　　Example 2: Report on Disk

 

　　What does the student mean by this?

 

　　A He thinks that the professor is making a fool of him.

 

　　B He feels that he himself should have figured out the solution earlier.

 

　　C He thinks that he was very stupid to ask such a question to the professor.

 

　　D He feels insulted at the professor’s suggestion.

 

　　S: Hello, professor Tenhaaf.

 

　　P: Oh, hi, Werner. How’s it going on your report?

 

　　S: Oh, great, mostly…Uh, these are our office hours, right? Can I have a moment of your time?

 

　　P: Sure, sure. What did you want to talk about?

 

　　S: Well, about my report. Is it acceptable to submit it on disk? I’m having a problem.

 

　　P: Well, I really would prefer it as a hard copy, printed. What’s the problem?

 

　　S: For some silly reason my printer stopped working. I’m not very good with computer stuff. I don’t know what’s wrong with it. That’s why I thought I could just hand you a copy on disk.

 

　　P: Well, I’m going to be reading and marking this project on a wilderness retreat, in a cabin where there’s no electricity. I’m afraid the disk wouldn’t be of much use out in the woods. Could you get it printed by one of your fellow students, or at the computer lab? It’s a minimal cost.

 

　　S: Oh my goodness, you’re right. I feel a little ridiculous now that you’ve pointed that out. Thanks for your time and I’m sorry if I took too much of your time.

 

　　Example 3: Air Pollution，来源：北京新航道托福培训

 

　　Why does the man say this?

 

　　A He is afraid that the area that they haven’t covered might make them change what they have already written.

 

　　B He is afraid that the area that they haven’t covered might require them to change the project deadline.

 

　　C He hopes that there will be a limited number of topics they can deal with.

 

　　D He hopes that the one area that they haven’t covered will be the main idea of the project so that they don’t have to care what they have done before.

 

　　A: All right, Todd. I can’t believe it. This project is almost finished!

 

　　B: I couldn’t have done it without you, Christine. I know it’s been a ton of work. I’ll be glad when we’re through.

 

　　A: There’s just one area we haven’t covered yet, and I think we should be including it in our work.

 

　　B: Oh, O.K. what is it? I hope we don’t have to re-write anything.

 

　　A: Oh, no. it’s just about the research data on the effects on air quality when bicycle use rises by 10%. I think this is important data to include in our project on “air pollution and how it affects our quality of life”. Who knows? It may actually inspire more people to ride their bikes!

 

　　B: You’re right again, Christine. That’s important information to include in the project. We’ve already gathered all the information, so let’s input it today.

 

　　A: Sounds great, Todd. Let’s do it now so we’ll be all set for Tuesday’s presentation.

 

　　B: You said it. As soon as we get this complete, I’m going to pump up my bicycle tires.

 

　　2. Scene II: consultation of course

 

　　Time of course selection

 

　　Reasons for course selection

 

　　Drop the course

 

　　Reasons for teacher

 

　　Absence and making up a missed lesson

 

　　Example 1: Taking a Summer Course

 

　　1. What can NOT be inferred about the French film course?

 

　　A It is easy to get a good grade.

 

　　B It belongs to one of the history courses.

 

　　C It is a Wednesday evening class.

 

　　D It only has an examination at the end of the course.

 

　　2. Why does the man recommend the woman to take the chemistry course in the fall?

 

　　A Because it is quite a relaxed course.

 

　　B Because in fall everyone tends to study hard.

 

　　C Because laboratories are not available in the summer session.

 

　　D Because it does not have outdoor classes.

 

　　A: Oh, hi, Bruce.

 

　　B: Hi, Martha. What’s up?

 

　　A: I’m trying to decide what course I should take this semester. It’s the summer session so I’m thinking maybe I should go easy on myself but…

 

　　B: But, you’ve already taken all your elective “bird courses”?

 

　　A: Yes, well, sort of. I still have a few history type courses I need, which means I could take one of those film studies courses, I like French cinema of the 1960s. I could spend my Wednesday summer nights in air-conditioned splendor, watching Truffaut &Goddard. Or I could spend my days in a lecture hall and lab studying molecular chemistry. It’s a tough decision. I need both courses to graduate. What course would you pick, Bruce?

 

　　B: That’s easy, Martha, I like to relax and enjoy my summer as much as possible, so I’d choose the French cinema. There are so many classic films from that era. It sounds like an interesting course, and usually the grading is pretty relaxed. I hear there are only one or two papers to write and no final exam. You can’t say that about your chemistry course. Save that course for the fall, when everybody is studying hard.

 

　　A: Thanks, Bruce. That’s great advice. I think I’ll sign up for the film studies program today.

 

　　B: You’re welcome, Martha. Hey, don’t forget to bring your popcorn.
