红DeltaTest4听力Ask for a Recommendation Letter原文文本答案解析+音频录音mp3

[00:00.00]W: Professor Beckman, do you have a minute?
[00:03.35]M: Sure. What can I do for you, Amelia?
[00:05.49]W: Well, I’ve decided to apply to the teacher certification program, and I wondered—I’d like it if you would, um, recommend me for the program.
[00:14.49]M: Oh, so you want to be a teacher! [00:16.40] Good, good, glad to hear it. [00:18.20]What level do you want to teach?
[00:19.49]W: Actually, grades six to eight interest me the most. [00:22.79]I loved school—especially science—when I was that age.
[00:27.49]M: Good, glad to hear it. I have a strong sense that you’ll be a dedicated teacher. [00:32.49]Now, you say you need a letter from me.
[00:35.49]W: Yes. Would you be able to do that?
[00:37.49]M: Of course, I’d be happy to. [00:39.89]But tell me more about your decision to teach, and ... uh ... why you think you’ll be good at it.
[00:45.49]W: All right. Well, let’s see, um, I guess I’ve known for a long time that I wanted to be a teacher, ever since I was in sixth grade myself. [00:55.49]I loved science when I was a kid—still love science—and ... I guess I, um, want to share my love of science with kids. [01:04.49]I’ve worked with kids before—as a camp counselor for two summers—teaching nature classes and leading nature hikes and stuff like that—and 1 just had so much fun with the kids! [01:14.79]I think I’m a pretty good counselor, and I love being in the woods myself.
[01:19.19]M: Now remind me ‘cause I tend to forget these things ... you were in my Human Development course? Is that right?
[01:25.39]W: Yes, and also General Psychology in my freshman year.
[01:29.08]M: Right, right. Good. I’m trying to get a handle on this. [01:32.19] I recall that your presentation in Human Development was very well thought of by your classmates. [01:37.29] You did a study of adolescence—is that right?
[01:39.79]W: Yes. I talked about identity and role confusion, and I looked at two groups of kids, one eleven and the other fifteen years old.
[01:48.59]M: Right. You showed slides of the children’s artwork.
[01:52.19]W: That’s right. They did self-portraits. [01:55.19] It was interesting, too, because in a lot of ways the younger kids were more expressive ... and more positive in their image of themselves. [02:03.91]The older kids’ art was more sophisticated technically, but in a lot of ways it was darker, even in the colors they used.
[02:13.19]M: Hmm. Yes, I recall. Your report was very well done. [02:17.19] I remember it well, and I’ll mention it in my letter. [02:20.19] So, when is it that you need this?
[02:22.49]W: My entire application is due on March 15. [02:26.19]There’s a form for you to use ... here. [02:28.69]You send it directly to the Dean of the School of Education.
[02:33.19]M: Right, right. I know these forms. [02:36.19] You can just leave it with me. [02:37.59]I’ll fill it out and see that it gets there on time.
[02:40.69]W: Thanks! I really appreciate your help.
[02:43.19]M: And I’m happy to help.
