Transcript Part II. Unit 1

Presenter: In the past, we used to study by sitting at our desks, memorizing facts, and lists, and words. It was tedious, it was boring, it was awful. We used to do anything to avoid studying. But, of course, in the end we paid the price. There are many great ways to study. Today, we’re going to count down three great ways to study, because if you study, you’ll probably succeed. Imagine a world where you used typewriters to write papers, and the Internet didn’t exist. Great way to study number one - interactive technology and computers. Now all kinds of computer programs are available to help you do work and study. And, of course, the Internet can be a great research tool. Technology gives us more flexibility in how we do research and when we study.

Man 1: My computer is actually like having a library in my own room. Presenter: Aids such as computers help us produce higher quality assignments.

Woman 1: I could use my computer to do research, and also I can put graphs and pictures onto my assignments. I can do spelling error check.

Presenter: In learning English, technology can help us gain exposure to the language, regardless of our geographic location.

Computer program: Whale.

Woman 2: Now that we have computers, the students are able to access a variety of information from the web. They are able to access different samples of audio, from different parts of the world, in English.

You have British English, Australian English, American English. And I think it’s expanded the students’ base for learning English.

Presenter: Do you think you have to be alone to study? Think again. Research shows that when students work together in small groups, they are more likely to learn more, and remember information for longer periods of time. Great way to study number two - study groups.

Woman 3: If you study in a group, your group members are going to require you to read the material ahead of time, so you’re going to be more prepared for the exam, and you will have a higher success rate in the classroom.

Woman 4: You can compare notes with your peers and learn material a lot easier.

Presenter: If you’re having a hard time understanding some difficult material, you’ll probably benefit from great way to study number three - working with a tutor or mentor. For example, you wouldn’t write square root of four, you’d write two.

Presenter: Most colleges and universities offer tutors and mentors to help students when they are struggling, and you may only need a tutor to help you understand a particularly difficult concept. Once you get through it, you’ll be able to continue successfully in a class.

Woman 5: If a student feels that he needs help, he could go to the university’s student center and ask about tutoring services on campus.

Man 2: If you feel like you’re having too many problems, of course, going to the teacher is good, but you don’t wanna go every second either. A tutor’s the best way because tutors are students as well, so they’ve been through the same experience and they can certainly guide you by letting you understand the material in a different way.
