16、e Hemmington is going to fill us in on whats in store for us at this years Summer Festival. Over to you, Jane.JANE: Thank you, Geoffrey. This year, the Summer Festival is the biggest weve ever seen, so there should be something for everybody. This is the third year theyve run it and the timings slig

17、htly different: for the last couple of years its been around the fifth to seventeenth, but this year they wanted to allow everyone enough time to recover from the first of January celebrations and theyve put it (Q11) at the end of the month.The programme has sensational theatre, dance and also a lar

18、ge number of art exhibitions, but the thing the Festival is most famous for is its great street music. For todays report though, Geoffrey, Im looking at some of the (Q12) theatrical events that you might like to see; in particular, at this years theme circuses.Im going to tell you about two circus p

19、erformances, but there are (Q13) plenty of others in the progralmme. Ive chosen these because they represent distinct movements within circus performance. The first is the Circus Romano from Italy. As this is a travelling circus, it follows a long tradition by performing (Q14) in a marquee which is

20、really like a canvas portable building, usually put up in a green space or car park, rather than in a theatre or stadium.In spite of this, Circus Romano isnt at all like the traditional circuses I grew up with. There are no animals just very talented clowning and acrobatic routines. The show has a l

21、ot of very funny moments, especially at the beginning, but the best part is the music and (Q15) lighting. Theyre magical. At forty-five dollars its very expensive anyway its really for (Q16) adult tastes. In fact, much of it would be wasted on children so I suggest you leave them at home.The second

22、circus performance is Circus Electrica at the (Q17) Studio Theatre. The purists are suggesting that this isnt a circus at all. Its a showcase for skills in dance and magic, rather than the usual ones you expect in a circus. With only six performers its a small production, which suits the venue well

23、the Studio only seats about two hundred people. For my money its the aerial displays which are outstanding as well as the magical tricks features which are missing from Circus Romano. An interesting feature of the show is that the performers are so young the youngest is only fourteen. But its still

24、well worth seeing: a good one for (Q18) the whole family.And finally, as its summer, you may wish to see some of the Festival performances that are being presented outdoors. Like the famous Mekong Water Puppet Troupe, performing in the (Q19) City Gardens this week. Now, water puppetry is amazing! It

25、s large puppets on long sticks, controlled by puppeteers standing waist deep in the lake. The puppets do comedy routines and there is some terrific formation dancing. This is a fantastic show and the best moment comes at the end seeing the puppeteers. When the troupe walks up out of the water, you g

26、et this amazing feeling. Its really hard to believe that what youve been watching is lifeless wood and cloth. As an adult, I had a great time, but I did note that other older people in the audience werent quite as taken with it as I was. Its a must for (Q20) young children though, and thats the audi

27、ence its really aimed at.Well, thats all Ive time for today, but III be back next week with more news of whats worth seeing and what its best to miss.SECTION 3OFFICER: Hello. Er, Im Dawn Matthews.STUDENT: Yes, hello. Ive been referred to you because Im enquiring about the refresher courses that you

28、run. Id like to find out a bit more about them.OFFICER: OK. Well, we run quite a few different short courses for students who are either (Q21)returning to study or studying part-time. Um, tell me about your situation.STUDENT: Well, I think that I really need some help in preparing for the coming sem

29、ester, especially to build up my confidence a bit and help me study effectively because, you see, Ive been out in the work-force for nearly twelve years now, so it really is a long time since I was last a student.OFFICER: Yes, it can seem like a long time, cant it? Um, well, let me start by telling

30、you what courses we have that might suit you. Are you an undergraduate or postgraduate? Arts or Sciences?STUDENT: Undergraduate, and Im in the Business faculty.OFFICER: Right then. First of all, theres our intensive Study for Success seminar on (Q22) the first and second of February. Its aimed at st

31、udents like you who are uncertain about what to expect at college, and looks at a fairly wide range of approaches to university learning, to motivate you to begin your study and build on your own learning strategies.STUDENT: Mm, that sounds good. What are some of the strategies that are presented?OF

32、FICER: Well, we try to cover all aspects of study. Some of the strategies in writing, for example, would be improving your planning for writing, organising your thinking and building some techniques to help you (Q23) write more clearly. With reading, therell be sessions aimed at getting into the hab

33、it of (Q24) analysing material as you read it, and tips to help you record and remember what you have read. It really is very important to begin reading confidently right from the beginning.STUDENT: Mm.OFFICER: Theres also advice on how to get the most from your lectures and practice in giving confi

34、dent presentations, as well as how to prepare for exams.STUDENT: What about the motivational side of things?OFFICER: Ah. Well, theres a range of motivational exercises that we do to help the students feel (Q25) positive and enthusiastic about their study. The process of learning and exploring a subj

35、ect can lead to a whole new way of looking at the world, and the study skills and techniques that you build up can be applied in all sorts of different ways.STUDENT: Actually, I Im very excited about the whole thing of taking up studying again but, you know, Im a little nervous about whether Ill man

36、age to get everything done. I suppose its the same for all mature students?OFFICER: Of course it is. Two of the key components of the course are (Q26) time management and overcoming procrastination. People discover that, once they learn to plan their days, all the work can be accomplished and therel

37、l still be time for leisure.STUDENT: Is there an enrolment fee?OFFICER: Well, er, oh, just a minute, lets see . . . Ah, the cost is thirty pounds, which includes all course materials and morning tea. You have to arrange your own lunch.STUDENT: That wouldnt be a problem. I already make sandwiches for

38、 my three kids and my wife and myself every day. I wont have to change my routine.OFFICER: No. Now, I need to tell you that this is a very popular course and its essential that you (Q27) book well ahead of time. In fact, the Course Convenor tells me that there are only five places left.STUDENT: What

39、 other course might be good for me?OFFICER: There is one other that you could benefit from. Its simply called Learning Skills for University Study and is on (Q28) three consecutive mornings starting on a Monday, from nine to twelve, and costs twenty-five pounds. This is aimed at upgrading the study

40、skills most school-leavers have and help them cope with the increased demands of university study. It focuses mainly on making students more responsible for their own success.STUDENT: What sort of things are covered in this course?OFFICER: Well, basically its more advanced thinking, note-taking, rea

41、ding and writing strategies, but also some input about (Q29) stress management.STUDENT: I think Id be better off (Q30) starting from the basics and looking at all the strategies, dont you?OFFICER: Yes, from what youve told me, I think thats more in line with your situation.STUDENT: Alright then, um,

42、 can I book a place on the Study for Success seminar course now?OFFICER: Yes. Let me just get out a registration form and take down your details.SECTION 4Were very grateful that the Committee has agreed that a representative for the Students Union can present students suggestions about the design fo

43、r the proposed new Union building. We appreciate that some of our ideas may not be feasible in the circumstances, but we do feel that it is important that the ultimate beneficiaries of the facilities should have some say in its design.If I could start by briefly explaining what steps were taken to f

44、ind out student opinion and how we have arrived at conclusions. Firstly, a meeting was held in the current Union for our SU Committee to explain the options. Then we invited all students to submit written suggestions for the design, placing cards in a suggestion box. These suggestions then provided

45、the basis for the design of a (Q31) questionnaire, which was completed by (Q32) approximately two thousand of the College students over a period of three weeks. Finally, the SU Committee collated the results and drew up a report. If I can just hand around a copy of that report. This presentation is

46、essentially a summary and discussion of the key points of this report. So, in broad terms, the consensus was as follows. Firstly, regarding the crucial matter of the site, we presented the three options that you have proposed. One: in the city centre, near the Faculty of (Q33) Education; two: on the

47、 outskirts of the city, near the park, and three: out of town, near the (Q34) halls of residence. We asked students to cite reasons for and against these sites and, and there was remarkable agreement on all three. Site One was unpopular because of (Q35) traffic and parking problems. Site Two had a n

48、umber of supporters, mainly because it was close to (Q36) most lecture rooms. And Site Three, out of town, near the halls of residence, was clearly the most popular because of access from living quarters. It was clear that the Union was mainly to be used after lectures. It was also felt that the lar

49、ge site would allow (Q37) more room for a choice of facilities.Our second area of interest was obviously the facilities: there was minimal interest in having a library on the premises, but one option seemed to be a reading room instead more useful. We would like the current table games room to be re

50、placed with (Q38) a small gym. And, if possible, a small swimming pool not, of course, Olympic-sized! There was a large number of respondents in favour of a travel agents and insurance centre. We also request that there be the offices of the Student Counselling Centre, moving this from the Refectory. There was, however, much disagreement about whether to build a drama theatre. Just over forty per cent of the respondents were
