　　A: Hi, Alan.

 

　　B: Hi, Rachel. I did not feel good yesterday, and couldn’t make it to class. Because I am not doing very well in this course, I am wondering what Dr. Millard covered in class yesterday.

 

　　A: Well, we had a lecture on sustainable development in forests Dr. Millard pointed out some of the advantages and disadvantages of clear-cut logging.

 

　　B: I noticed the next chapter in our textbook is called “Sustainable Development”. Chapter 6, isn’t it?

 

　　A: Yes, we covered the first part of Chapter 6. He told us to read from pages 156 to 170. Also, during the last half of class we divided into groups of three for a project. The groups had to come up with their won topic on some aspect of sustainable development. The group I’m in, with Harry and Susan, didn’t focus too well, and we didn’t even come up with a topic. A couple of groups seemed quite focused. The project is due a week from Friday.

 

　　B: Was I put in a group?

 

　　A: I don’t think so. There were about 4 or 5 students missing today. Perhaps, if you showed up for class early on Wednesday and spoke with Dr. Millard, he could assign you a group.

 

　　B: Did you take lecture notes?

 

　　A: Yes, I did. I was just going to transcribe them and put them on my computer. Would you like me to email them to you?

 

　　B: Oh, yes. Thanks very much.

 

　　Example 3: Off-Campus Study Program

　　A June 8.

 

　　B June 18.

 

　　C August 12.

 

　　D August 20.

 

　　A: Good morning. Welcome to the Open Learning Institute I am Christina.

 

　　B: Good morning. I have an enquiry about credit courses in your off-campus study program. I will be working in a remote community up north this summer, but I will have access to the Internet, so I was hoping to take a history course towards my degree.

 

　　A: Distance education courses carry full credit toward the degree and diploma program in accordance with the requirements of the faculty concerned. Formats vary. We use print materials, audio-tapes, video, teleconferencing, CD-ROM and the internet. Some courses are delivered on line.

 

　　B: How much do they cost?

 

　　A: It depends on the course. History courses are not usually that expensive, relatively speaking. A 3-credit course would probably cost you about $500.

 

　　B: Can I start whenever I want? 来源：北京新航道托福培训

　　Example 2: Organizing an Essay

 

　　1. What does the professor mean by this?

 

　　A The student came up with a more focused topic but it still isn’t focused enough.

 

　　B He thinks that the student can finally understand the topic.

 

　　C Women in English speaking countries are easier to write about than women in other countries.

 

　　D He thinks that the student finally chose the perfect topic.

 

　　2. What can be inferred about the professor when he says this?

 

　　A He really wants to see the student’s rough draft.

 

　　B He hopes that the student deals with the essay all by herself.

 

　　C He doesn’t have tome to read a 5,000-word essay.

 

　　D He would like to help her organize the topic at the next meeting.

 

　　S: Hi, Professor Higgins.

 

　　P: Hi, Julia.

 

　　S: Would you be able to help me organize my essay?

 

　　P: Certainly. What topic have you chosen?

 

　　S: Women in Politics.

 

　　P: That topic is very broad. I think you should narrow it down.

 

　　S: Well, I want to be able to compare different countries.

 

　　P: You still must be more focused.

 

　　S: Do you think I could just do women in English speaking countries – say the United States, Canada, Australia, New Zealand and Britain?

 

　　P: Well, that would be a little bit better.

 

　　S: I am interested in the pattern of political involvement of women in those western democracies. With New Zealand and Australia leading the way, women in those countries had the vote soon after the end of World War I.

 

　　P: It would be good to begin with a discussion of when women got the right to vote and how they use it.

 

　　S: The record of women in politics in all of those countries has been similar. In none of them have women represented more than 10 percent of members of the national legislature. Women in all those countries use their vote as often as men, but they do not necessarily have the same response to different political parties. I think women often have a stronger social conscience and vote more liberally.

 

　　P: Remember, it is not what you think. You must back up your opinions with facts. Support for all your ideas is essential. I think you should check the statistics on what percentage of women hold political office in the national governments. You should just include national governments, not local ones, unless you just want to focus only on local governments. For example, in Russia women have constituted almost 50 percent of local councils, but they are less common in the senior power establishment at the national level.

 

　　S: Okay, I also plan to discuss the role of organized women’s rights.

 

　　P: That is a good idea, but remembers this essay is only 5,000 words so you must keep your topic focused.

 

　　S: Could I bring you in a rough draft next week?

 

　　P: I would prefer if you brought an outline, breaking down your main topics and subtopics.

 

　　S: Okay, could I arrange to meet you during your office hours next Wednesday?

 

　　P: Actually, I have students coming on Wednesday, but if you are free, I could meet with you for half an hour on Friday morning at 9:30.

 

　　S: That would be great. Normally, I have a lab that day but it is cancelled this week.

 

　　P: Okay, I will see you then. It may be a good idea to bring some of your reference materials along.

 

　　S: Sure, I will do that. Thank you very much.

 

　　P: You’re welcome.
