19、sh 11 【听力原文】 COLLEGE PRESIDENT Well, good morning, everyone, its good to see you all here. Welcome to Smith House. Smith House as you may or may not know is one of the oldest residential colleges of the university. As you can see, the building youre in now which contains this main lounge, the dining
20、 room, the recreation room, the kitchen and the offices was part of the original old house, built in the 1840s to be used by the family of George Smith. Thats of course how the house and college got their names. The original house was converted into a residential college for the university in 1940 a
21、nd since then has continued to be added on to and modernised. Youll notice when you receive your room allocation in a few minutes that your room number either begins with the letter N, S, or W like this one here, The first letter refers to the three wings of the college which come away from this mai
22、n building. Of course the letters represent the three directions in this case north, south and west. Each wing has two floors, and so the next number you see is either one, or in this case two, and this indicates which floor your room is on. The number after that is your individual room number. So i
23、ts quite simple to find any room by going to the right wing, then floor, and then room number. Youll also notice, when you receive your orientation pack shortly, that there are tow keys. One is the key to your room and only you have that key and the other is a key to the front door which youve just
24、come through here from the street. This door is closed and locked at 8 pm every night and opened again at 7 am. Youll need your key if youre coming back to the college between those times. We ask all students to always enter and leave the college through the front door. You will notice at the end of
25、 each corridor that there is another door but these are fire doors and are kept locked from the outside. They should only be opened from the inside in case of emergency. In your fees youve paid a laundry fee which covers the cleaning of bed linen and towels. All bed linen and towels are clearly embo
26、ssed with the name Smith House so its easily identifiable. If you want your other laundry to be done by the college this can be arranged for a small extra ree. There are only a few rules here at Smith House and we have these rules so that we can all live comfortably together. The most important rule
27、 is that there must be no noise after 9 pm. There is also no smoking in the rooms or anywhere inside the college but smoking is permitted on the balconies. All meals are served in the dining room. Meal times are listed in your orientation pack. Please read these carefully as meal times cannot be cha
28、nged and if you arrive late Im sorry to say youll just go hungry. If youre unsure about things, each floor has an elected floor senior who is usually a student in their third or fourth year of study whos been at Smith House for a while. The floor seniors will introduce themselves later today and ans
29、wer any questions you have. But for now Im going to hand you over to Marney who is going to give you the orientation packs and keys.

ROBIN Well, Ive given it some thought and I think t
31、hat the best way to approach it is to divide the essay into two parts. First of all, wed have to look at some examples of each type of media. LYNNE Yes, what they are . then we could describe how we can use each medium so that children can learn something from each one. ROBIN Exactly. Maybe we could
32、 draw up a table and look at examples of each medium in turn. Lets see, the different forms of media would be .the print media. LYNNE Here youd have things like books and newspapers, that sort of thing. ROBIN Um, and included in these are the pictorial forms of print media, like maps. LYNNE Yes, map
33、s are really just formal pictures, arent they? And then there are what we call the audio forms of media. where children can listen. CDs and radios are probably the best examples, because a lot of children have access to these .especially radios. ROBIN And this would lead into the audio-visual media,
34、 which can be seen as well as heard. film, television .and we mustnt forget videos. LYNNE Yes, but theres a final category as well. computers, that make up the so-called electronic media. In the United Kingdom and Australia, they say that one in three families has a computer now. ROBIN Yes, I believ
35、e it. Well thats a good list to start with .were really getting somewhere with this essay now. so lets move on to when each type of medium could be used. I guess we could start by trying to identify the best situation for each type of media. LYNNE What do you mean? ROBIN Im talking about whether eac
36、h medium should be used with different sized groups, For example, we could look at pictures, and ask whether theyre more useful for an individual child, a few children together or a full class in this case, Id say pictures are best with individual children, because they give them an opportunity to l
37、et their imaginations run wild. LYNNE Yes, I see. ROBIN Lets take tapes next. Although tapes look ideal for individual children, I feel theyre best suited to small group work, This way , children dont feel isolated, because they can get help from their friends. Computers are the same .I think theyre
38、 better with small numbers of children and theyre hardly ever useful with a whole class. Videos, however, are ideal for use with everyone present in the class, especially when children have individual activity sheets to help them focus their minds on whats in the video. LYNNE And what about books, w
39、hat would you recommend for them? Books are ideal for children to use by themselves. I know theyre used with groups in schools, but I wouldnt recommend it. Other pictorial media like maps, though, are different .Id always plan group work around those .give the children a chance to interact and to sh
40、are ideas. ROBIN I agree. teachers often just leave maps on the wall for children to look at when they have some free time, but kids really enjoy using them for problem solving. LYNNE Yes, different people have different ideas I suppose. ROBIN Yes, and different teachers recommend different tools fo

42、l provide a helpful background to the farm visits youll be doing next week. I think I should start by emphasising that agriculture still accounts for a very important part of this countrys economy. We are used to hearing the UKs socitey and economy described as being industrial or even post-industri
43、al, but we mustnt let this blind us to the fact that agriculture and its supporting industries still account for around 20% of our Gross National Product. This figure is especially impressive, I think, when you bear in mind how very small a percentage of the UK workforce is employed in agriculture.
44、This is not a recent development you would have to go back to 1750 or so to find a majority of the workforce in this country working in agriculture. By the middle of the next century, in 1850 that is, it had fallen sharply to 10% , and then to 3% by the middle of the twentieth century. And now just
45、2% of the workforce contribute 20% of GNP. How is this efficiency achieved? Well, my own view is that it owes a great deal to a history, over the last 50 or 60 years, of intelligent support by the state, mainly taking the form of helping farmers to plan ahead. Then the two other factors I should men
46、tion, both very important, are the high level of training amongst the agricultural workforce. And secondly , the recognition by farmers of the value of investing in technology. Now, although the UK is a fairly small country, the geology and climate vary a good deal from region to region. For our pur
47、poses today we can divide the country broadly into three Ive marked them on the map here(indicates map). The region youll get to know best, of course, is the north, where we are at present. The land here is generally hilly, and the soils thin. The climate up here, and youve already had evidence of t
48、his, is generally cool and wet. As you will see next week, the typical farm here in the north is a small, family-run concern, producing mainly wool and timber for the market. If we contrast that with the eastern region, over here(indicating on map), the east is flatter and more low-lying, with ferti
49、le soils and a mixed climate. Average farm-size is much bigger in the east, and farms are likely to be managed strictly on commercial lines. As for crops, well, the east is the UKs great cereal-producing region. However, increasingly significant areas are now also given over to high quality vegetables for supply direct to the supermarkets. The third broad region is the west, where its a different story again. Th
