Now begin the Listening section.
Listen to Li, Paul and Kitty discussing a project.
Kitty
Right, so shall we discuss what we have to do for this project then?
Li
Yes, it says we have to ‘Investigate some aspect of the university facilities’.
Paul
Yeah, we have to design a questionnaire don’t we?
Li
Yes. And we have to write an essay and do a presentation.
Kitty
Is it an essay? I thought it was a report.
Li
Let me check. Yes, you’re right, Kitty, it’s a report.
Paul
How long does it have to be? 1000 words, isn’t it?
Li
Let me see. The report has to be between 1000 and 1500 words, and we have to do that on our own, but we do the presentation and the investigation as a group.
So, have you got any ideas about what we can investigate?
So, have you got any ideas about what we can investigate?
Kitty
I know one of the other groups is looking at the university library and whether it’s adequate for student needs.
Paul
Yes, and one group’s doing the sports centre.
Kitty
Does it matter if we do the same thing as another group?
Li
I don’t think so. But I was wondering about investigating transport.
Kitty
Transport?
Li
Yes, we could look at whether people think the bus service is regular enough, and we could also look at car parking facilities.
Paul
We could look at the cycling facilities too. There’s never enough space for all the bikes in the bike sheds. I’m sure the university could afford to build more, what with all the fees we pay.
Kitty
OK, I’m happy with that idea. So, how should we go about the investigation then?
Li
Well, we could make some questionnaires. I can ask the people who travel on buses, and Paul, you can ask cyclists, and Kitty, you do a questionnaire for car drivers.
Kitty
Shouldn’t we write the questions together, rather than individually?
Li
Yes, that’s what I meant, we can write the questionnaires together, but each of us can be responsible for carrying out the questionnaires individually. Does that sound okay?
Kitty
Sure
Paul
We should get some quantitative data too. You could count how many people get on and off the buses at different times, and I can count how many bikes there are in the bike sheds, that sort of thing.
Kitty
And we should take some photos while we’re doing the questionnaires. They’ll be useful for the presentation.
Li
It sounds good. Okay, well, let’s think about these questions then.
