【答案解析】[听力原文]
M:Have you ever had to do experimental research before?
W:Once.Haveyou?
M:Yes,but only for secondary school.
W:What did you do it on?
M:1 was looking at how far people traveled to different kinds of shops.I used a questionnaire and interviewed shoppers.
W:How did it go?
M:Not bad.but I did cheat a bit.
W:Oh,really!
M:Yes,I didn't use any system of choosing who I interviewed.I just asked those who looked friendly and nice,and who I thought would answer my questions.I didn't ask many men or those shoppers who looked busy either.
W:at doesn't sound so terrible!
M:Wlell,it did probably bias the results,and I'm sure that if my teacher had known,I'd have had to do it again.What kind of research did you do?
W:I volunteered to do a survey last summer.1 was asked to investigate the kinds of shops that had closed, and those that remained didn't cater to local needs.
M:That sounds interesting.Did you have any problems?
W:Yes.the first few days I tried recording a list of all the properties in the town center.But later I knew, cafes,pubs,clubs and so on weren't considered shops.Once I got all the information collected,my main trouble was deciding how to present it.I ended up writing a very short report.
M:I would have made the same mistake,I'm sure! Let's hope this Project for Economics will go smoothly…
