The speaker’s aim is to______.

Good morning and welcome to the University of Westlands. My name is Marcia Mayhew and I’m the coordinator of the Bachelor of Social Science Degree.(11)I’d like to tell you about the structure of the university and about some of the requirements of the degree that you’re about to enter.(12)The Bachelor of Social Science is one faculty within the University. That is the faculty where I work, known as Arts and Social Science. Here on this campus we also have the faculties of Architecture, Law and Science and Technology, among others.
    Now, you’ll note mat all of the subjects which you undertake in the first year are composed of lectures and tutorials. A lecture is about an hour long and a tutorial usually runs for about two hours. A lecture is rather like what I am doing now, where one person will talk to all of you together on a subject.(13 -1)A tutorial is perhaps where most of the learning occurs at university. You will be divided into groups of between 12 and 15 students and each week one of you will have to present your work to the group as a whole and then the group will discuss what you’ve said.(13-2)It’s exchange of ideas, which really constitutes the basis of university of learning, in my view.
    Last but not least, stay in touch with us. Thank you very much for coming along today.
