听力原文：Academic adviser How do you do, Miss Wu? Please have a seat. Student It is very nice to see you! Thank you. Academic adviser Now then, let us look at your transcript. Student OK! Here you are! Academic adviser It is very clear and solid. You have your Bachelor of Arts in English and now you want to get your Masters in Education, right? Student Right. I got my Bachelor of Arts in English last year. Academic adviser Why do you want to get Masters in Education? Student Because I am interested in Education. But I dont know what 111 need. Academic adviser You will need 36 credit hours, of which 15 must be from the English Department and 15 from the Education Department. For the remaining six credit hours, you can either write a thesis or take two selected courses. Student You mean that 36 credit hours are the minimum? Right now, this is very confusing to me, but I am sure it will straighten out in my mind as I learn more about it. Academic adviser Let us program your courses. Since you have had English Literature, you should take American Literature and American Prose and Fiction. Your transcript. indicates that your English background is strong, so I dont think you will have any problem with it. Student OK! I loved English Literature and got an A. I am also interested in studying American Prose and Fiction. How many credits can I get for each course? Academic adviser Three. You should also take two three-credit courses in the Education Department. I suggest Educational Psychology and Audiovisual Methods and Aids. That will give you 12 hours altogether which is the minimum for a full-time student. Student Excuse me. Actually I am a part-time student. I am sorry I dont have enough time to take all the courses, although m attracted by them. So I would like to audit one course. Academic adviser Thats right. You have been appointed Assistant Head Resident at Western. How many hours do you have to work? Student Twelve hours a week. Since this is my first time in the United States, I dont want to fail any classes and would therefore prefer a somewhat lighter program. In addition, I am a part-time student, so it is very hard for me to select all the courses. In order to pass the exams smoothly, have to choose lighter ones. Academic adviser That is correct. In fact you must maintain a B average to earn your Masters. In other words, if you get a C, you will need an A to balance it out. If you get a D, it takes two As to raise it to a B average. Student Oh! My goodness! It is so complex. I definitely dont want to get any Ds or Fs. Academic adviser Yes, you are right. Student Id better go slowly but surely, like the tortoise in the fable. Academic adviser That is a good idea. Which course do you want to audit? Student American Prose and Fiction. Academic adviser Are you aware that even though you wont receive any credit for an audited course, you still pay the same for the other courses? Student Yes, I am. I know that the professor will keep track of my attendance, but I wont have to do any papers or take any exams. Academic adviser Fine. You are set now. Jim will show you to the Administration building. Good luck, and I hope you will enjoy studies here at Miami. Student Thank you. I am sure I will.Narrator Listen to a conversation between a student and a academic adviser. Now get ready to answer the questions. You may use your notes to help you answer.
