EXAMPLE 1
 
Page 164 [ mp3 031-032] 
Listen to a conversation between a professor and a student. 
(Student)
Professor Roberts, I have a question for you about the assignment. 
(Professor)
OK, if it’s a short question. 
(Student)
It is. The assignment on the syllabus lists pages 101 through 120 in the 
text, and the last page of the assigned reading is a list of questions. I was 
wondering if we were supposed to read through the questions and just 
think about the answers or actually write out the answers. 
(Professor)
Well, you don’t need to write out neat and formal answers, but you 
should be really familiar with them because we’ll be talking about these 
questions during class, and I expect you to be prepared to answer them. 
(Student)
You mean we don’t need to turn in our answers? 
(Professor)
That’s right, but you might want to jot down notes on each so that you 
can refer to them during our discussion. 
1. LISTEN AGAIN TO PART OF THE CONVERSATION. THEN ANSWER THE 
QUESTION. 
(Student) 
Professor Roberts, I have a question for you about the assignment. 
(Professor) 
OK, if it’s a short question.
