听力题 W: It''s going to be different from school, isn''t it? M: Yeah, particularly the lectures. Have you got any special strategy for listening to lectures? W: Well, I''m going to use a cassette recorder and record them all. M: What! Are you allowed to? W: Sure. Lots of people do it nowadays. It means you can listen to the lectures all over again, and make really good notes. M: I couldn''t do that. I like to take notes as I''m listening. I usually find I get all the important points. W: It seems you carefully listen to the lecture. But how about reading? M: Well, reading is different of course. My approach is to skim the book first to see what''s important and what isn''t. It saves hours of time. W: But what if you miss something? M: You don''t mean you''re going to read every word, do you? W: Well, that''s what I usually do. M: Well, that''s up to you, but I think you''re crazy. W: What is your first lecture on, anyway? M: Oh, it''s a lecture on the French Revolution. W: The French Revolution! How boring! M: It''s not boring at all. It was an amazing period of history. It changed everything in Europe.
