Narrator
Listen to a part of a conversation in an office.
What will Andrew probably talk about next?
[Visitor] Hello, May I come in?
[Teacher] Yes, please. Can I help you?
[Visitor] Yes, I was told to come here for advice about, erm, Management Diploma courses?
[Teacher] You’ve certainly come to the right place. Hi, my name is Monica.
[Visitor] Nice to meet you. My name is Andrew, Andrew Harris.
[Teacher] So, Andrew, are you completely new here?
[Visitor] What do you mean by "completely new"?
[Teacher] I wonder whether you have seen our diploma course prospectus yet?
[Visitor] Yes, I’ve already looked at it. In fact, I thought the information on course content was really useful, but I’m afraid I’m a bit confused by all the different ways you can do the course: full-time intensive, part-time and so on.
[Teacher] Well, let’s see if I can help. I think each course type has its advantages and disadvantages, so it really depends on you--your own study habits, and your financial circumstances, of course. Are you working at the moment?
[Visitor] Yes. I’ve been working in the administration section of the local hospital for the last three years. And before that I worked in the office of a computer engineering company for two years. So, I’ve got about five years of relevant work experience. And what I’m hoping to focus on is Personnel Management.
[Teacher] I see. And are you planning to leave your current job to study, or are you thinking about just taking a year off?
[Visitor] I want to know what my options are, really. I don’t want to quit my job or anything and my employers are keen for me to get some more qualifications but obviously, it would be better if I could do a course without taking too much time away from work.
[Teacher] Right, so you don’t really want to do the full-time course, then?
[Visitor] No, not really. It’s also a question of finances. You see, my office has agreed to pay the cost of the course itself, but I would have to take unpaid leave if I want to study full-time and, well, I don’t think I could afford to support myself with no salary for a whole year.
[Teacher] OK. Well; you have two other possibilities: you could either do the part-time course--that would be over two years and you wouldn’t have to take any time off work---or you could do what we call a "modular" course. You could do that in eighteen months if you wanted, or longer, it’s quite flexible and it would be up to you.
[Visitor] Mmm. So what does the part-time course involve?
[Teacher] For that you would join an evening class and have a lecture twice a week. Then, you’d have to attend a seminar or discussion workshop one weekend a month.
[Visitor] What kind of course work would I have to do?
[Teacher] Well, it’s a mixture. You’d be expected to write an essay each month, which counts towards your final assessment. You have a case study to do by the end of the course, which might involve doing a survey or something like that, and also you need to hand in a short report every four weeks.
[Visitor] So, that’s quite a lot of work, then, on top of working every day. It sounds like a lot of studying-- and really tiring.
[Teacher] Yes. You certainly wouldn’t have much free time!
[Visitor] Then, what about...
Narrator Now get ready to answer some questions. You may use your notes to help you answer.
18. Why does Andrew talk with Monica?
19. How long has Andrew worked at the hospital?
20. What will Andrew’s employer pay during the course?
21. How long does the part-time course last?
Narrator Listen to a part of the conversation. Then answer the question.
[Teacher] Yes. You certainly wouldn’t have much free time!
[Visitor] Then, what about...
22. What will Andrew probably talk about next?
