Which course were you thinking of applying for? Student: South-east Asian Studies. Woman: I see. Do you have a copy of the unive
15、rsity prospectus? Student: Yes. I do. I downloaded it. Woman: So, you know that its a four-year course, including one year living and working in the region. Student: Yes. The A-level entrance requirement is BCC, right? Woman: Yes, but on average our students have 3 Bs. Student: Are there any restric
16、tions on the subjects that I take at A-level? Woman: No, but we find that students studying politics, economics, history, geography or languages tend to find their first year easier. A background in at least two or three of those subjects is advantageous. Student: I see. Im not studying politics or
17、languages, but I am taking the other three at A-level. Are languages an important part of the course? You see, Im not very good at them. Woman: Languages are not a compulsory part of the course-they are optional each year. However, because students spend a year abroad, we strongly recommend that stu
18、dents take one for at least a year beforehand. However. there is a language lab that students are free to use during the day regardless of the subjects they are taking. Student: Which languages are offered? Woman: We have five on offer-Vietnamese, Burmese, Thai, Indonesian and Tagalog. They can be t

None went to Singapore or Brunei. Student: What do students generally do during their year abroad? Woman: The vas
21、t majority help on aid projects, especially helping with water supply and sanitation in rural areas. Others get involved in teaching English or in business-particularly the logistics side of things. A small minority get jobs translating or checking translations. Thats quite well paid. but your langu
22、ages skills have to be up to scratch. Student: Good. I was attracted by the idea of teaching English or doing aid work. Woman: Very often, its possible to do both. That way you can also develop a wider range of skills. Student: Thank you for your help. Can I just check the optional courses for year
23、one? Woman: The only choice in year one is a language or a project where the student creates a portfolio of background information on the countries of the region. Actually, many students do both, since they find the project contributes to their general understanding of the region and the languages a

Are young Indians different from their elders? Smarter? Lazier? Less obedient? We have invited an Indian socio
28、logist, Mr Singh, to share his views with us. Mr Singh, many Indians complain that the new generation of Indians is too Westernised and has lost touch with its culture. Whats your opinion on that? Mr. Singh: Whenever a country modernises there is speculation that the new generation will be dramatica
29、lly different from those that preceded it, in particular more Westernised. Much of that speculation is based on superficial observations regarding rock music and the like. However most studies show that new generations retain much, though not all, of the core values of their culture. Cultures change
30、 very slowly. What is changing quickly is the environment in which they live, their living standards, opportunities for advancement, and self-fulfilment. Young Indians certainly have more opportunities today. Presenter: Where does your information come from? Mr Singh: I have two children in their ea
31、rly twenties. I see their generation at close quarters. I often travel to both rural and urban places in India, and I see the young people there. The current generation has. by and large, rejected politics as a primary concern. They have grown up with a TV and a telephone either at home or in the vi
32、cinity. They have watched MTV but they still go the temple, and most of them seriously believe that God exists. Regarding the opportunities that Mr Singh mentioned, for the first time, it is acceptable in India for a kid to say that he or she wants to be an actor, a singer, a fashion designer, a wri
33、ter, a cricket player as a profession without parents losing sleep. It also means that they have many choices of role model. When I look at young people around me, I see more hope than helplessness. Presenter: Mr Singh, what is the main advantage that young people in India have? Mr Singh: The bigges
34、t advantage the youth of India have is mobility. It is very easy for them to move about the country and follow opportunities-an edge the Chinese youth, for example, do not currently have. Also, young Indians are quickly adapting to new technologies, and English is now being more widely accepted and
35、spoken than ever before. Indias youth have a very unique advantage, a combination of mobility, language and knowledge of technology. Add to that a country that has an entrepreneurial spirit and a very clear intent to adapt to Western culture. Presenter: Are there any problems, as far as you can see?
36、 Mr Singh: I think that the biggest overall problem is with infrastructure, but as far as things that directly affect the younger generation are concerned, I think that the main problem is that parents from the growing middle class are pushing their children ever harder at academic activities. They
37、believe this is the only way to stand out and survive in a system which is cutthroat because of the exploding population and as education becomes more and more accessible to the masses. However, many parents are granting their children more choice, particularly in the area of choosing their own care
38、ers. The youth of today are definitely more aware of the choices available to them. Presenter: Do you think that competition is a problem? Mr Singh: Not at all. It leads to creativity. The younger generation is more creative. Competition ensures that creativity is likely to be the best way to get ah
39、ead. Though it is largely believed that the culture-and-value-system-torch-bearing youth are losing their way, I still believe that relates to a small percentage. The combination of the Indian value system and the Western approach is a winning one and if the Indian youth can manage to achieve the fi
40、ght balance, global organisations will want their skills. Presenter: Mr Singh, you sound very confident? Mr Singh: I am. Every generation will experience change. This will be more dramatic especially in the context of development. Simply put, young Indians are more aware about the world they live in
41、. They are more materialistic. They are consumers in the true sense. They are exposed to satellite TV, the Internet, freer access to social interaction, and mobility. They are global citizens. Adoption of styles and fashion from anywhere, particularly America, is quick. But as several surveys have s
42、hown, this openness and confidence does come with some sense of humility and purpose. I feel confident that they can dream and achieve. My generation could only dream. 11 【正确答案】 rock music 12 【正确答案】 very slowly 13 【正确答案】 two/2. 14 【正确答案】 politics 15 【正确答案】 mobility 16 【正确答案】 push/are pushing 17 【正确答

I hope youve had a good break and that youre looking forward to writing your dissertations. In this tutorial, Id like to give you the opportunity to
44、ask questions on writing the dissertation, such as requirements, dates and who to see when you need help. I know that its all available on the department website, but sometimes students just like to check or confirm information . or sometimes they need a little more detail. So, is there anything you
45、d like to ask? Martin: Is there a fixed hand-in date yet? On the website it said that one hadnt been decided on yet. Professor: Im glad you asked that question. I just heard this morning that the deadline has been decided and it is 28th May. Thats a week later than we had originally planned. Amanda:
46、 What about the word limit? The website gave a very broad range. What was it, Martina? 10000 to 20000 words? Martin: I believe so, Amanda. Professor: Well, I believe that was a typing error. It should be 10-12000 words, but feel free to write a little more if you need to. However, make sure that you
47、r dissertation is at least 10000 words long, not including the contents, references and bibliography. Amanda: Right. Thank you. And we can choose any topics we like, cant we? Professor: Any from year 3. And do remember to get your topic approved by your personal tutor-oh, thats me, isnt it? -before
48、you start writing. Id hate to have to tell you your topic was unacceptable after youd spent a lot of time on it! Amanda: What would you like us to show you initially, apart from the title? Professor: Well, Id like to see a basic bibliography first, along with an outline of your dissertation. You sho
49、uld get that done by the end of January-this month in other words. Martin: According to the website, the research should take 8-10 weeks, so that takes us from, well, until mid-April, basically. Professor: Yes, you should have the research pretty much done by the time you return from the Easter break. Martin: It seems like a reasonable amount of time, but I bet it disappears fast. Professor: It certainly does. Youll probably find that you need to do some extra resea
