剑桥雅思4全真试题听力部分 :Test2 (section3-1)

ROSA: Oh, there you are, good. Sorry I'm a bit late -- there was a long queue. So, have you worked out how to deal with this assignment then?
MICK: Not yet, we've only been here a couple of minutes ourselves.
ROSA: Can you just remind me what the task is exactly?
MICK: Well, there are two, no, three, parts to it: first, we've got to write an essay about ways of collecting data. Then ...
ROSA: What's the title of the essay exactly?
MICK: I've got it here: Assess the two main methods of collecting data in social science research.
ROSA: And how much do we need to write?
MICK: Fifteen hundred words. That's for the essay. Then, for the second part of the assignment, we have to choose one method of data collection,
and carry out a small-scale study, making appropriate use of the method chosen to gather data from at least five subjects.
ROSA: And then we have to write a report on the study?
MICK: That's right, of three to four thousand words.
ROSA: Did you get as far as discussing which form of data collection we should go for questionnaire or interview, isn't it?
MICK: Yeah, I think we should use a questionnaire. It'll be so much less time-consuming than organising interviews, I reckon.
Once we've agreed on the wording of it, we only have to send it out and wait for the responses.
ROSA: Yes, I think it probably would be quicker.
