OK.
Now let's do another section three for the listening section.
We have another section three that we have to do here and this is from book nine Test to section three
that we're going to be doing.
And like I've told you about the Cambridge books you see those are the ones that I use when I'm teaching
my classes.
I have all my students buy those books where I classes that we teach in person.
And I encourage you also to get those books as they are very helpful.
They're very good.
And I think that if you're using them as you're taking this course online with us that you're going
to be able to really benefit from it a lot.
OK.
So let's go ahead and play the tape.
As you can see with this section number three we're starting off with multiple choice questions.
You've heard in the previous lecture already well we have to be able to do circle the keywords in the
question.
Right.
Circle the keywords into question and then listen for Senator matching answers for multiple choice questions.
That's what we're working on.
That's what you should be able to do.
That's what you should have an understanding of how to do right now four numbers twenty five through
30.
We're dealing with fill the blank questions.
All right.
And remember for our field the blank questions we have the strategy the strategy doesn't change.
We have to pay attention to the words that are before and after the blank line.
Right.
Because when we're listening that's what our answer is going to connect to.
Right.
Then we're twenty five has a connect to the word materials and the word level twenty six has a connect
to the word collection.
Right.
Whatever it is it must connect to the word collection.
But when they're speaking they're not going to say the word collection they're going to say a synonym
of the word collection.
Twenty seven is connected to by some.
And we know whatever they say is connected to dividing something up buying and dividing whatever this
answer is is connected to that language.
Twenty eight is connected to organizing organizing.
Right.
It says speak it speak to the teachers and organize a blank for supervising the center.
Key words it's connected to is organize for supervising.
What are we going to organize for supervising twenty nine connected to the word install.
Again listen for synonym language.
Thirty is connected to personal use of computers personal use of something on computers.
All right.
So we have those.
Those are that's the key word language we should be circling in that field the blank question because
that's what our that's what our answer choices are going to connect to.
So as play the tape and we're going to break this lecture down into two parts we're gonna do the multiple
choice first and then we're going to have a lecture for doing the we're underwhelmed to do another lecture
for the feel of the blank ones.
OK so let's go ahead and get started now please.
All right.
You should be looking at the questions circling the keywords so you know what to listen for and you
know when the answer is being said that's how you know when they're saying the answer Joyce.
Now listen carefully and answer questions 21 to 24
Hi yuan.
As you know I've asked you here today to discuss the future of our self access center.
We have to decide what we want to do about this very important resource for our English language students.
So can you tell me what the students think about this.
Well from the student's point of view we would like to keep it the majority of students say that they
enjoy using it because it provides a variation on the classroom routine and they see it as a pretty
major component of their course.
But we would like to see some improvements to the equipment particularly the computers.
There aren't enough for one each at the moment.
And we always have to share.
Well yes the teachers agree that it is a very valuable resource.
But one thing we have noticed is that a lot of the students are using it to check their personal e-mails.
We don't want to stop students using it but we think the computers should be used as a learning resource
not for e-mails.
Some of us also think that we could benefit a lot more by relocating the self access center to the main
university library building.
How do you think the students would feel about that one.
Well the library is big enough to incorporate the self access center but it wouldn't be like a class
activity anymore.
Our main worry would be not being able to go to a teacher for advice.
I'm sure there would be plenty of things to do.
But we really need teachers to help us choose the best activities.
Well there would still be a teacher present and he or she would guide the activities of the students.
We wouldn't just leave him to get on with it.
Yes but I think the students would be much happier keeping the existing set up.
They really like going to the self access center with their teacher and staying together as a group
to do activities.
If we could just improve the resources and facilities I think it would be fine.
Is the costs going to be a problem.
It's not so much the expense that I'm worried about.
And we've certainly got room to do it.
But it's the problem of time tabling a teacher to be in there outside class hours if we're going to
spend a lot of money on equipment and resources.
We really need to make sure that everything is looked after properly.
Anyway let's make some notes to see just what needs doing to improve the center
OK.
So now I'm going to play it again and go over the answer choices with you and point out for you the
sit in and matching that you should have been able to do in order to get the correct answer choice.
OK so let's back it up and go through that Hi Johan.
As you know I've asked you here today to discuss the future of our self access center.
We have to decide what we want to do about this very important resource for our English language students.
So can you tell me what the students think about this.
Well from the student's point of view we would like to keep it the majority of students say that they
enjoy using it because it provides a variation on the classroom routine and they see it as a pretty
major component of their course.
But we would like to see some improvements to the equipment particularly the computers.
There aren't enough for one each at the moment.
And we always have to share.
Well yes the teachers agree that it is a very valuable resource.
But one thing we have noticed is that a lot of the students are using it to try and correct answer for
21 is see.
He said they they see it as a very as a major component of their course as a major component of our
course look at discipline to match major component synonym for important part course synonym for the
word studies.
I've told you I've told you I've told you the correct answer we'll use said in a language correct dads
over 21 to see but we would like to see some improvements to the equipment particularly the compute.
There is a trap there's a trap for you.
They say they want to see some improvements to the equipment.
So what they're betting on is there's some some student will here that will say they said the word equipment
see the word equipment.
I'm going to pick as my answer choice.
We know that's wrong.
We can't do it that way.
Well yes the teachers agree that it is a very valuable resource.
But one thing we have noticed is that a lot of the students are using it to check their personal e-mails.
We don't want to stop students using it but we think the computers should be used as a learning resource
not for e-mails.
Some of us also think that we could benefit a lot more by relocating the south access center to the
main university library building.
How do you think the students would feel about that.
Well the library is big enough too.
All right.
We could benefit.
All right.
I mean there are another tool that's the language that means they would prefer they say with a bit of
the benefit from relocating it to the library.
What is the senator matching everybody to Senator home in at similar matches be relocated means move
to the library is the same as saying elsewhere.
So the correct answer is B for number 22 because that's our synonym match.
How do you think the students would feel about that.
Well the library is big enough to incorporate the self X's center but it wouldn't be like a class activity
anymore.
Our main worry would be not being able to go to a teacher for a look at that language.
Our main worry our main worry is synonym for main concern.
So we've heard the key word in that we've heard the key words in the question.
Now we're going to get the answer right.
If you can pick up on the key words in the question then you'll be able to pick up on when they're saying
the answer choice to you everybody.
But it wouldn't be like a class activity anymore.
Our main worry would be not being able to go to a teacher for advice.
I'm sure there would be plenty of things to do.
But we really need.
Right.
Their main worry would be not being able to go to a teacher for advice.
That's their main worry.
So what's the synonym hell.
What's the synonym.
Answer B.
All right.
We'll be there.
They'll have difficulty in getting help because they're their main worry is that they won't be able
to go to their teacher.
So the Sydenham answer is B twenty three is B.
That's our synonym match.
We wouldn't just leave and to get on with it.
Yes but I think the students would be much happier keeping the existing set up.
They really like going to the safe access center with their teacher and staying together as a group
to do activities.
If we could just improve the resources and facilities I think it would be fine.
Is the costs going to be a problem.
It's not so much the expense that I'm worried about.
And we've certainly got room to do it.
But when they get to number 24 and the director is talking and that's the woman where she's talking
you're listening for a synonym of the word concern.
Right.
So listen because after you hear the synonym for the word concerned and the question then you're going
to hear your answer choice is the cost going to be a problem.
It's not so much the expense that I'm worried about.
And we've certainly got room to do it but it's the problem of timetable in a teacher to be in the outside
class hours if we're going to spend a lot of money on equipment and resources which is the problem of.
So they say is the problem of they're talking about what their concern is is it is the problem the problem
of time tabling a time tabling the teacher to be in there.
Here's the problem of time tabling a teacher to be in there.
So the correct answer will be C..
The difficulty in supervising the sitter.
OK.
So that's our first part for this lecture.
And now let's go ahead I'm going to.
We're going to do and we're going to stop in the next lecture.
We're going to be going over the field the blank questions for 25 through 30.
OK.
So I'll talk to you some.
