Well then, you might think about joining the chess club. I
belonged to it
when I was a graduate student a few years ago, and I think you might
really like it, too.
HOW DOES THE ADVISOR SEEM TO FEEL ABOUT THE CHESS CLUB?
2. LISTEN AGAIN TO PART OF THE CONVERSATION. THEN ANSWER THE
QUESTION.
(Student)
:
The meetings
once a week sound cool, but ... uh ... my chess playing just
... uh ... might not be quite up to the level of tournament play.

Listen to part of a lecture in a geology class.
(Professor)
Well, at the end of the nineteenth century John Muir and the California
State Geologist at the time,
Josiah Whitney, had very different theories
on how the canyon in Yosemite National Park got its unusual box shape.
For years, each man clung tenaciously to his theory, but the problem was
that both of them lacked definitive proof. Ok,
so bit by bit, evidence
began to mount in favor of Muir’s theory that glacial action was
responsible for the canyon’s distinctive shape. But it wasn’t until the
twentieth century that all of the missing pieces
of the puzzle were in
place and Whitney should have conceded at that point. Um, I say “should
have” because he never actually did so. Of course, this was a great
upset, or, I guess kind of a triumph of the outsider for Muir because he
was
just an amateur geologist, in comparison to Whitney, who, as I said,
was California’s State Geologist. But in this case, the
real expert on the
subject was the man who had spent years studying the geology of
Yosemite up close and in person, climbing around the valley itself. So
Muir came to understand the geology of Yosemite better than the state’s
official geologist.
