【答案解析】[听力原文]
Jack: The lecture was interesting. I really enjoyed it.
Sally: Yes, indeed I agree, but I wonder are you new here?
Jack: Actually yes. I"m a new student. I enrolled in the M.A. teaching programme last week.
Sally: Oh, really. Well, I don"t want to boast but I was in this programme only two years ago after my degree. I joined the staff of London University.
Jack: I see. Well, then you could tell me something about this programme, couldn"t you?
Sally: I"d be only too glad to. What do you want to know?
Jack: Well, what kind of assessment is there for this particular programme? It"s just that I haven"t taken an exam for quite a long time, so I"m nervous about the course.
Sally: Oh, take it easy. There is no need to worry at all. I was nervous too when I first came here until I found that the course assessment emphasizes essays and seminar papers. This helped me to gain confidence in my academic work before the final examinations.
Jack: How many papers are required before the finals?
Sally: Five essays and about six short papers, something like that.
Jack: I see. That doesn"t seem too bad. Did you enjoy the course?
Sally: Yes, very much. I greatly appreciate the year that I studied here. At first I thought the course would be very theoretical, but in fact it was very practical and relevant to the actual teaching. It proved to be of a great assistance to me in my education career.
Jack: What about the teachers here?
Sally: Oh, they"re very helpful. Throughout my time as a student the academic staff here were always approachable, encouraging and supportive.
Jack: Well, that makes me feel much better.
Sally: I"m sure you"ll like studying here. You know all my time spent in this university was a very happy one. I made a lot of good friends and thoroughly enjoyed the student life on campus. The lecturer today is one of my good friends here.
Jack: Oh, is she? Well, sorry but I have got to leave now. I enjoyed talking with you. Thanks for your help.
Sally: It"s been nice talking to you too. Good luck!
