My name is To
26、ny Walters and Im your guide for today. Could I please see your tickets for the guided tour? Id also like to remind you that any tickets bought today do not include a visit to the reading rooms. Im afraid we dont do visits on Fridays or any weekday during working hours, so as not to disturb the read
27、ers. But if you do want to see those rooms, the only day there are tours is on Sundays. So, I dont want anyone to be disappointed about that today. OK? Thank you. Right. Well start with a brief introduction. As many of you know, this is the United Kingdoms National Library and you can see that this
28、is a magnificent modern building. It was first designed by Sir Colin St. John Wilson in 1977, and inaugurated by Her Majesty the Queen more than twenty years later, in 1998. As you can see, the size is immense and the basements alone have 300 kilometres of shelving and thats enough to hold about 12
29、million books. The total floor space here is 100.000 square metres and, as Ill show you, the library houses a huge range of facilities and exhibition spaces, and it has a thousand staff members based here in the building so, you can appreciate the scale of our operation. In fact, this was the bigges
30、t publicly-funded building constructed in the United Kingdom last century. It is still funded by the government as a national institution, of course, and it houses one of the most important collections in the world. The different items come from every continent and span almost 3,000 years. The libra
31、ry isnt a public library, though you cant just come in and join and borrow any of the books. Access to the collections is limited to those involved in carrying out research so, its really a huge reference library for that purpose, and anyone who wants to consult any materials that are kept here can
32、formally apply to use the library reading rooms. Right, well, here we are, standing at the Meeting Point on the lower ground floor just to the right of the Main Entrance. Ive given you all a plan of the building so that we can orientate ourselves and get an idea of where well be going. Now, outside
33、the Main Entrance youll see the wide Piazza with the stunning sculpture of Newton. The sculptor was Paolozzi, but its based on the famous image by William Blake and its definitely worth a closer look. On the other side of the Piazza from the statue is the Conference Centre, which is used for all kin
34、ds of international conventions well take a quick look inside at the end of our tour. Looking ahead of us now, youll see that were standing opposite the staircase down to the basement where youll find the cloakroom, and to the left of that, we have the information desk where you can find out about a
35、ny current exhibitions, the times of the tours and anything you need to know if you dont have a tour guide. As you can see, on this lower ground floor we also have a bookshop thats the area over to the left of the main entrance. Youll be free to browse there when we get back to the ground floor. Now
36、, opposite the main entrance on this floor we have the open stairs leading up to the upper ground floor. And at the top of them, in the middle of the upper ground floor, you can see a kind of glass-sided tower that rises all the way up through the ceiling and up to the first floor. This is called th
37、e Kings Library. Its really the heart of the building. It was built to house the collection that was presented to the nation in 1823 by the King. You can see it from every floor above ground. When we go up there, youll find the librarys Treasures Gallery on the left. Can you find it on your plan? Th
38、ats the exciting one, so well be visiting that first, but well also take a look at the stamp display situated behind it, on the way to the cafe a lot of people miss that. The Cafeteria runs along the back of the floor and, in the right-hand corner youll find the lifts and toilets. ha, always good to
39、 locate them. The other main area on that floor is the Public Access Catalogue section and Ill show you how that operates when we get up there. 11 【正确答案】 Sundays 12 【正确答案】 1998 13 【正确答案】 100,000 one/a hundred thousand 14 【正确答案】 government 15 【正确答案】 research 16 【正确答案】 Conference Centre/Center 17 【正确答

Dr. Green: Hang on a minute, Ill just find the first draft of your project paper and we can have a look at it t
41、ogether. Now yours is the one on Work Placement, isnt it? Dave: Yeah, thats right. Dr. Green: So what made you choose that for your project? Dave: Well, I suppose it was because sending students off to various companies for work experience seems, to be such a typical part of educational courses thes
42、e days I mean, even school kids get to do it. But, I felt everyone just kind of assumes its a good thing and I guess I wanted to find out if thats the case. Dr. Green: But you dont look at schools or colleges, right? Youve stuck to university placement schemes. Dave: Yeah, well, I quickly found that
43、 I had to limit my research, otherwise the area was just too big. Do you think that was OK? Dr. Green: I think its very sensible, especially as the objectives might be very different. So how many schemes did you look at? Dave: Well, I sent out about 1 50 questionnaires altogether you know, 50 of eac
44、h to university authorities, students and companies, and I got responses from 15 educational institutions, and, er, 30 students in 11 individual companies. Dr. Green: Great, that sounds like a good sample. And who did you send your company questionnaires to? Dave: Well, the idea was to have them don
45、e by the students Line Managers, but sometimes they were filled in by the Human Resources manager or even the owner of the company. Dr. Green: Right. I didnt find a full list anywhere, so I think its very important to provide that, really. You can put it as an appendix at the back. Dave: Right, Ive
46、got a record of all the respondents so thatll be easy. I hope other things were OK. I mean, Ive already put such a lot of work into this project, identifying the companies and so on. Dr. Green: Oh, I can tell. I think youve done a good job overall. Dr. Green: I thought your questionnaires were excel
47、lent, and youd obviously done lots of background reading, but there were a few problems with the introduction. First of all, I think you need to make some slight changes to the organisation of your information there. At present its a bit confused. Dave: OK. What did you have in mind? Dr. Green: Well
48、, you write quite a bit about Work Placement in general, but you never explain what you mean by the term. Dave: So you think I should give a definition? Dr. Green: Exactly. And the introduction is the place to do it. And then look, you start talking about whats been written on the topic, but its all
49、 a bit mixed up with your own project. Dave: So, do you think it would be better to have two sections there like, a survey of the literature as the introduction. and then a separate section on the aims of my research? Dr. Green: I do. You can include your methods for collecting data in the second section too. It would be much clearer for your reader. You know, establish the
