NARRATOR:Listen to a conversation between a student and the faculty adviser of the campus newspaper.
MALE STUDENT:Hi, I talked to someone on the phone a couple weeks ago… [Upspeak]Anna, I think it was?
FEMALE FACULTY ADVISOR:I’m Anna, the faculty adviser.
MALE STUDENT:Oh, great. I’m Peter Murphy. You probably don’t remember me, but…
FEMALE FACULTY ADVISOR:[interrupting]No, no, I remember you. You were interested in working for the paper….
MALE STUDENT:Yeah, as a reporter.
FEMALE FACULTY ADVISOR:That’s right. Uh, you’re taking a journalism class, and you’ve done some reporting before, in high school, right…?
MALE STUDENT:[interrupting]Wow! You have a good memory.
FEMALE FACULTY ADVISOR:Well, we haven’t had many students applying lately. So… so, anyway, you still want to do some reporting for us?
MALE STUDENT:Yeah, if you have room for me on the staff.
FEMALE FACULTY ADVISOR:Well, we always need more reporters. But you know we don’t pay anything, right?
MALE STUDENT:Yeah, I know, but I, uh, I’d like the experience; it would look good on my resume…
FEMALE FACULTY ADVISOR:Absolutely. Let’s see… I think I told you that we ask prospective reporters to turn in some outlines for possible articles.
MALE STUDENT:Yeah, I sent them in about a week ago, but I haven’t heard anything back yet, so… so I thought I’d stop by and see… but I guess you haven’t looked at them yet.
FEMALE FACULTY ADVISOR:Oh, Max—the news editor—he looks at all the submissions…
MALE STUDENT:Oh, so he hasn’t made any decision about me yet?
FEMALE FACULTY ADVISOR:Well, I just got here a few minutes ago…. I haven’t been in for a couple of days.Uh, just give me a second to check my e-mail… Ah, here’s a message from Max… Let’s see… [pause]Well, it seems you’ve really impressed him. He says it’d be wonderful if you could join our staff.
MALE STUDENT:Oh, great! When can I start?
FEMALE FACULTY ADVISOR:Well… You turned in an outline on something to do with the physics department?
MALE STUDENT:Yeah, they’re trying to come up with ways to get more students to take their introductory courses.
FEMALE FACULTY ADVISOR:Right… [reading the e-mail]…Well, apparently, nobody else is covering that story… so he wants you to follow up on it.
MALE STUDENT:OK. Uh, what about the other outline I sent in? About the proposed increase in tuition fees?
FEMALE FACULTY ADVISOR:Oh, it looks like we’ve got that covered.
MALE STUDENT:So I’m starting with an article about the physics department. I guess I’d better get to work.Do you have any advice on how I should cover the story?
FEMALE FACULTY ADVISOR:Well, Max’ll want to talk to you, but I’m sure he’ll tell you to find out things like why the physics department’s worried about enrollment.Has the number of students been getting smaller in recent years? By how much?What kinds of plans are they considering to address this problem?
MALE STUDENT:Right. Some of those issues are already in what I proposed.
FEMALE FACULTY ADVISOR:And you’ll want to do some interviews… you know, what do the professors think of the plans? What do the students think? You get the idea, but…
MALE STUDENT:But wait till I talk to Max before proceeding.
FEMALE FACULTY ADVISOR:Right. He’ll cover everything you need to know to be a reporter for us.Can you come back this afternoon? He’ll be here until five o’clock.
旁白：听下面一段学生和校园报社指导教师的对话
学生：嗨。我几周前在电话里和一个叫…我想是叫安娜的人沟通过。
指导教师：我就是那位指导教师。
学生：噢，太好了。我是皮特墨菲。你可能不记得我了，但是…
指导教师：不不，我记得你。你对在报社工作很感兴趣。
学生：是的，我想做一名记者。
指导教师：太棒了。你正在上一门记者学的课程，而且你之前在高中有做过报导，是吗？
学生：哇哦，你的记性真好。
指导教师：最近没有太多的学生来申请职位，所以呢……不管怎么样， 你还是想为我们做报导是吗？
学生：是的，如果你们还有职位可以给我提供的话。
指导教师：我们一直都需要记者，但是你知道的，我们是不给支付薪水的。
学生：嗯，我知道，但是我呢…想要积累经验，这会使我的简历更丰富些。
指导教师：当然。那我们就看看。我想我告诉过你，就是我们要求未来的记者提交一些合适的文章大纲。
学生：是的。我一周前就发送了，但是目前还没有收到回复，所以，我就想过来问一下，我猜你们目前还没有看吧。
指导教师：噢，新闻编辑麦克斯负责阅读所有提交的文章。
学生：哦，那么他还没有做决定到底要不要我？
指导教师：我几分钟前才到这里...有几天没有过来了。给我一点时间，我来查一下邮箱。嗯，这有一封麦克斯的邮件。让我们来瞧瞧。看起来他对你印象很深刻。他说如果你能加入我们的团队将好极了。
学生：太好了。那我什么时候开始呢？
指导教师：呃..你提交的大纲是和物理系相关的？
学生：是的。他们正想办法来让更多学生加入他们的基础课程。
指导教师：是的...显然别人没有报道过这个事情，所以他希望你继续追踪。
学生：好的。那么我发送的另一篇大纲呢？就是关于学费上涨的提议的那个？
指导教师：噢，看来我们已经有人在做了。
学生：那么我就从物理系的文章开始做起吧。我想我还是最好赶紧进入工作状态。关于怎么样采访这个新闻报道，你有什么好的建议吗？
指导教师：麦克斯会和你谈的，我相信他会让你去探察一下为什么物理系会担忧录取学生的问题。是不是最近学生的数量在减少？减少了多少呢？他们正在考虑什么方案来解决这个问题呢？
学生：明白了，其中的一些我已经在我的大纲中提到了。
指导教师：而且你需要做一些采访，你知道的，教授们认为这些方案如何，学生们的想法如何？你懂得。但是…
学生：但是要等和麦克斯谈完之后才能进行。
指导教师：是的。他会告诉你一切关于如何成为我们报社记者的事情。你能今天下午再来一次吗？他会 5 点钟到这里来。
