[00:00.00]Narrator: Listen to a conversation between a student and a professor.
[00:04.90]MALE STUDENT: Uh, excuse me, Professor Thompson. [00:06.92]I know your office hours are tomorrow, but I was wondering if you had a few minutes free now to discuss something.
[00:12.98]FEMALE PROFESSOR: Sure, John. What did you want to talk about?
[00:14.81]MALE STUDENT: Well, I have some quick questions about how to write up the research project I did this semester–about climate variations.
[00:21.34]FEMALE PROFESSOR: Oh, yes. [00:22.60]You were looking at variations in climate in the Grant City area, right? [00:26.22]How far along have you gotten?
[00:27.93]MALE STUDENT: I've got all my data, so I'm starting to summarize it now, preparing graphs and stuff. [00:33.08]But I'm just...I'm looking at it and I'm afraid that it's not enough, but I'm not sure what else to put in the report.
[00:38.77]FEMALE PROFESSOR: I hear the same thing from every student. [00:41.05]You know, you have to remember now that you're the expert on what you've done. [00:44.87]So, think about what you'd need to include if you were going to explain your research project to someone with general or casual knowledge about the subject, like...like your parents. [00:53.83]That's usually my rule of thumb: would my parents understand this?
[00:57.42]MALE STUDENT: OK. I get it.
[00:58.77]FEMALE PROFESSOR: I hope you can recognize by my saying that how much you do know about the subject.
[01:03.05]MALE STUDENT: Right. I understand. [01:04.65]I was wondering if I should also include the notes from the research journal you suggested I keep?
[01:10.10]FEMALE PROFESSOR: Yes, definitely. [01:11.38]You should use them to indicate what your evolution in thought was through time. [01:15.45]So, just set up, you know, what was the purpose of what you were doing–to try to understand the climate variability of this area–and what you did, and what your approach was.
[01:24.77]MALE STUDENT: OK. So, for example, I studied meteorological records; [01:28.83]I looked at climate charts; [01:30.75]I used different methods for analyzing the data, like certain statistical tests; and then I discuss the results. [01:36.92]Is that what you mean?
[01:38.05]FEMALE PROFESSOR: Yes, that's right. [01:38.98]You should include all of that. [01:40.95]The statistical tests are especially important. [01:43.59]And also be sure you include a good reference section where all your published and unpublished data came from, 'cause you have a lot of unpublished climate data.
[01:51.34]MALE STUDENT: Hmm...something just came into my mind and went out the other side.
[01:55.58]FEMALE PROFESSOR: Oh, that happens to me a lot, so I've come up with a pretty good memory management tool. [01:59.76]I carry a little pad with me all the time and jot down questions or ideas that I don't want to forget. [02:05.14]For example, I went to the doctor with my daughter and her baby son last week and we knew we wouldn't remember everything we wanted to ask the doctor, so we actually made a list of five things we wanted answers to.
[02:16.36]MALE STUDENT: A note pad is a good idea. [02:18.18]Since I'm so busy now at the end of the semester, I'm getting pretty forgetful these days. [02:22.92]OK. I just remembered what I was trying to say before.
[02:25.91]FEMALE PROFESSOR: Good. I was hoping you'd come up with it.
[02:27.94]MALE STUDENT: Yes. It ends up that I have data on more than just the immediate Grant City area, so I also included some regional data in the report. [02:35.60]With everything else it should be a pretty good indicator of the climate in this part of the state.
[02:40.00]FEMALE PROFESSOR: Sounds good. I'd be happy to look over a draft version before you hand in the final copy, if you wish.
[02:44.18]MALE STUDENT: Great. I'll plan to get you a draft of the paper by next Friday. [02:48.66]Thanks very much. [02:50.35]Well, see ya.
[02:51.85]FEMALE PROFESSOR: OK.

教授提到了她去和医生的会面。是为了举个例子。而前文说道,我有一个很好的记忆管理工具。就是随身带个小本子。那她提到会见医生,就是为了阐述一种记忆东西的方法。后文提到,她把需要问医生的问题都写下来了。
