听力题 You are going to hear a conversation between a student and her tutor. W: I''m sorry to disturb you, Dr. Carter, but I need to speak to you about my course. M: Come in, Amy. I haven''t got long because I have to give a lecture in half an hour. What''s the problem? Sit down. W: Well, I''m having problems with one of my subjects — economics. I''m not doing very well and I''m a bit anxious about it. M: You haven''t been doing too well, that''s true. I think you failed your last assignment, didn''t you? W: I''ve failed the last one and the one before that, and I only just scraped through the first one. The problem is that I''m not very interested in economics. I think that''s why I don''t really try and then... M: So what are you saying, Amy? W: I really feel that I should drop economics and pick up Spanish again. I did first year Spanish last year and I got really good marks. M: I don''t understand why you took up economics this year then. W: Well, everyone told me that economics was more important than a language and I thought I could keep up my Spanish on my own with a private teacher. The problem is that I just don''t seem to have time to do everything. M: Surely Spanish isn''t too time consuming. W: No, it wouldn''t be except that I um, I''ve got a part-time job in a restaurant three nights a week. . . I can''t give that up because I really need the money. I just um, can''t fit it all in. M: We could offer you extra help with the economics if you are willing to stick at it. W: No, really Dr Carter, I don''t think it would be any good. I want to change. M: Yes, I can see that your mind''s made up. Well, I have no objection, especially as you have a background in Spanish, but you''ll have to go and see Dr Brown in the Spanish Department and see whether he''ll accept you or not. W: Would you be able to have a word with him about it as well, Dr Carter? M: You can tell him to phone me for a reference if he wants to. I must get to my lecture now. Let me know how you get on. W: Thanks, Dr Carter. I will.
