【答案解析】[解析]
Dr Erskine: Now, um, well, let"s just review where you are, your write-up, and what you"re going to include going forward to next term. First of all, did you eventually feel you were given enough to do?
Cressida: The first couple of days were manic, the production team was short of staff and (27)
I was rushing all over the building taking messages to various people and fetching things.
Of course, I didn"t know my way around, so I kept ending up in some store room or somewhere instead of the studio I was meant to be in. Or I mistook some important visitor for a colleague, because I didn"t know who anyone was. Then after that, things sort-of calmed down, so sometimes I was hanging about until someone decided to give me a chore. (28)
But I had a piece of luck at the end of the week because they got a new bit of equipment which was the same as we have in the editing suite here and I knew how to use it
which none of them did. So that gave me a bit of status. Unfortunately it meant I spent the next three days stuck in the editing suite. But by the end, I"d shown I wasn"t just a silly student, so then, when the senior reporter needed someone to go out with him when he went to interview a junior minister, I got to go along because he knew I could handle the technical side.
Dr Erskine: Well, that"s good.
Cressida: Yes. Well, I know (29)
I need to learn from my mistakes. I mean, basically I need to think more about forward planning,
but on the other hand I feel much more confident now; I did survive, I didn"t ruin anything, I did actually make a contribution, according to the producer. (30)
One thing I want to take forward to my final assignment, though, is some reflections on ethics.
Dr Erskine: Yes?
Cressida:
I had a bit of an argument with one of the senior presenters.
He was editing part of an interview and he just changed something someone said. When I questioned him he just snubbed me. And I mean, this wasn"t some public relations expert or government professional spokesperson, it was, like, a member of the public, but he said "Oh they never remember what they said anyway".
Dr Erskine: Mm … you want to develop this into part of your final assignment? It would be a very positive line. I can give you some references.
Cressida: Oh, thanks, that would be great.
