Listening Part 1 Part 2 Listening Text H=Host (man) C=Caller (girl) Part 1 H: You are listening to “Students Corner”, and Im your host Tim Smith, Today, were talking about study habits and study skills. Our Our first caller today is Zhou Juan from Xiamen. Hello, Zhou Juan, youre on the air. C: Hello, Tim. Im having a hard time preparing for my exams. What can I do to study better? H: Well, theres really no secret. You just have to make sure that you have a study plan and that you think about what youre doing. C: What do you mean? I study hard. I read the passages in the book over and over again, but I still cant remember everything. And I do lots of exercises, but when I check the answers, theyre usually wrong, and I dont understand why. H: Well, Zhou Juan, how do you plan your studies? C: plan? Well, er, I do what the teacher tells me to do. H: I see. And where do you usually study? C: In my favourite chair. I like to be comfortable. And I like to keep the TV on so I can relax. H: Uh-huh. Well, Zhou Juan, there are a few things you can do that will help. Part 2 H: First of all, turn off the TV and sit at a desk. This will help you to concentrate. Take a short break if you need to relax. Second, make a study plan. Before you start doing your homework, look over what you need to do and decide how much time youll need. Plan your studying so that you dont do the same thing for too long. Your brain gets tired if it doesnt get variety. Study maths for 30 minutes and then English for 30 minutes. Its better than working on the same subject for a long time. C: I see. So I need a good place to work and a plan that is varied. H: Thats right. You can also save time and learn more by keeping a learner log. C: Whats a learner log. H: Its a notebook where you keep track of your studies. Write down what youve done, what youve learnt, and what you need to do or learn next. That way, you can improve you work. C: Ok. H: Finally, instead of reading a passage many times use pre-reading and and post-reading strategies. They will help you learn more in less time. C: Oh, like the ones in Senior English for China? H: Exactly. They are helpful, arent they? Listening on P201 Part 1 Part 2 Part1 You probably know all about studying English and other subjects in middle school. But whats it like to be a college student? To find out, we asked two students to tell us about how they live and study in college. Listening Text Student A (female) Im an International Business major at a University of Finance trade and Finance and Economics. My major courses focus on international trade and finance, but English is also very important. Many of the textbooks we use are in English and some of our courses are taught in English, either by Chinese professors or visiting foreign teachers. At first, it was very difficult to understand what the teachers were saying. We take most of our courses here in China, but we also have the opportunity to study abroad for one year. Our university cooperates with universities in Europe, New Zealand and the USA. I would like to study in Europe, perhaps in Germany or France, because I believe that the European Union will be an important business partner for China in the future . If I study in Germany or France, I can also learn a third language, which would be very useful. The most difficult thing, in my opinion, is to understand all the technical terms. I was pretty good at English in middle school, but we only learnt everyday English. Now I have to read long articles and textbook chapters that deal with difficult issues. Some of the words are only used in business, so most dictionaries dont explain what they mean. I sometimes feel as if I had two majorsEnglish and business. First I have to understand what the terms mean in Chinese, then learn the English words for them. Still, I like my major and I think that it will help me find a good job. My dream is to work in a Chinese import and export company and travel around the world. Part 2 Before I went to college, I thought that university life would be fun and easy. My friends told me that we would have lots of fun once we passed the college entrance exam. If anyone ever says Student B: that to me again, I will let them know how wrong they are! Sure, its fun to be a university student, but it is also hard work. We have a lot of homework, and we have to write many papers and essays. Im an English major, so most of my courses about English. The first two years, the courses were similar to studying in middle school. We learnt more grammar and vocabulary, but we also had spoken English classes. In my junior year, that is the third year, I began studying other courses. I chose Linguistics because Im interested in languages, and I also took a few non- major courses. I like English best, but I know that I also need to learn more about other subjects. Studying a language in college is different from studying other subjects. Its difficult to improve , so you have to spend a lot of time listening, reading, writing and speaking. You almost have to “live in English ”, that is, you have to use English all the time, not j
