Section 3.

You will hear a sociology student called John discussing his research project about the use of public services with his tutor.

First, you have some time to look at questions 21 to 26 on page 5.

Thank you.

now listen carefully and answer questions 21 to 26

hello john come in

and sit down you're here to discuss your research project are you yes i've more

or less decided what to do

but i'd like your opinion fine you've chosen a topic yes

I want to look at how people use public services in their local area.

Things like parks and swimming pools.

Right.

Well, the kind of information you'll get is very useful for town planning, of course.

Do you have a special interest in public services?

Not really.

It's just that I found a report in the college library about an investigation that was done ten years ago, and I thought it'd be interesting to do a parallel one.

Hmm.

Ten years is a relatively short space of time.

What do you expect to find?

Do you think things will be more or less the same as before?

I think there'll be some differences.

For example, I think the number of people going to the library will have decreased.

And I'd guess that older people are using the sports centre more often than they used to.

Fine.

So those are your hypotheses now what sort of data are

you going to use i was thinking of using official records from the management

or the local council and analyzing them they should be easy to obtain

i don't think

that sort of information would be confidential yes you're probably right

there might not be as much information as you'd like

but it'd certainly be the easiest kind of data to work with

but have you considered using a questionnaire as well it's okay

to get data from more than one source absolutely it's a

bonus you've already done the module on questionnaire design haven't you

and it'll be good to get experience

because next year you'll have to do something similar for your final dissertation on a bigger scale okay

and what are the variables you'll be looking at.

Are you going to look at people's level of education?

Whether they have a degree, for example?

I hadn't planned to.

Do you think I should?

Well, you might see some interesting patterns.

Okay, and that'll tie in nicely with my plans to analyse the kind of work people do.

What about the size of your sample?

Have you got any thoughts on the number of questionnaires you might send out?

The previous study surveyed 120 people.

I don't think I can really analyse more than 50 working by myself,

so I should probably distribute about 80 questionnaires altogether to allow for wastage.

Do you think that's enough?

Definitely.

I know that your project guidelines recommend a minimum of 100, but that's an ideal number, and you're working by yourself.

And anyway, this assignment is mainly about giving you practice in research methods.

Right.

Before you hear the rest of the discussion, you have some time to look at questions 27 to 30 on page 6.

Now listen and answer questions 27 to 30.

And think of ways you can encourage people to actually complete the questionnaire.

For example, to make sure that your questions make sense, you should try them out beforehand.

OK, that's no problem.

My friends will help.

Good.

Sometimes you get unpredicted responses and you have to rephrase a question.

And I know that you usually get a better return if you deliver questionnaires in person, but there'll be too many.

But I could enclose a stamped envelope for the return post.

It's a bit expensive, but I think it'd be worth it.

Yes, good.

Some people say that another way of increasing returns is to make the questionnaires anonymous, but usually people put their names on anyway,

so I don't think that would make much difference.

OK.

And can you give me a bit more advice about the questionnaire?

Would it be a good idea to have a short paragraph at the top explaining what I'm doing and why?

Definitely.

And don't forget, you'll need to get a bit of information about your subjects, what age group they're in and perhaps how long they've lived in the area.

So you'll need questions for that.

Yes.

I suppose that'll mean it takes a bit longer to complete, but should I give them my phone number in case there's anything they're not sure about?

I wouldn't if I were you, no. OK.

And do I have to use open -ended questions as well as closed questions?

I know the books say it's better to have a mixture.

Well, it depends.

In this case, I'd stick to closed questions.

The results will be much more manageable like that.

If I draft some questions tomorrow, would it be OK to bring them to the end of

the end of the end of the end of the end of the end of the end of the end? to check your answers.

Now turn to section 4 on page 7.

Phương Pháp Shadowing Là Gì?

Shadowing là kỹ thuật học ngôn ngữ có cơ sở khoa học, ban đầu được phát triển cho chương trình đào tạo phiên dịch viên chuyên nghiệp và được phổ biến rộng rãi bởi nhà đa ngôn ngữ học Dr. Alexander Arguelles. Nguyên lý cốt lõi đơn giản nhưng cực kỳ hiệu quả: bạn nghe tiếng Anh của người bản xứ và lặp lại to ngay lập tức — như một "cái bóng" (shadow) đuổi theo người nói với độ trễ chỉ 1–2 giây. Khác với luyện ngữ pháp hay học từ vựng bị động, Shadowing buộc não bộ và cơ miệng phải đồng thời xử lý và tái tạo ngôn ngữ thực tế. Các nghiên cứu khoa học xác nhận phương pháp này cải thiện đáng kể phát âm, ngữ điệu, nhịp điệu, nối âm, kỹ năng nghe và độ lưu loát khi nói — đặc biệt hiệu quả cho người luyện IELTS Speaking và muốn giao tiếp tiếng Anh tự nhiên như người bản ngữ.
