9、ection 2Hello,and thank you for asking me to your teachers meeting to talk about the Dinosaur Museum and to tell you a bit about what you can do with your students there.Well,let me give you some of the basic information first. In regard to opening hours,were open every day of the week from 9.00 am

10、to 8.00 pm except on Mondays when we close at 1.30 pm.And,in fact the only day in the year when were closed is on the 25th of December Q11&12. You can book a guided tour for your school group any time that were open. If you bring a school group to the museum,when you arrive we ask you to remain with

11、 your group in the car park. One or more of the tour guides will welcome you there and brief you Q13 about what the tour will be about. We do this there because our entrance is quite small and we really havent got much room for briefing groups in the exhibition area.As far as the amount of time youl

12、l need goes,if you bring a school group you should plan on allowing a minimum of 90 minutes for the visit. This allows 15 minutes to get on and offthe coach,45 minutesQ14 for the guided tour and 30 minutes for after-tour activities. If youre going to have lunch at the museum you will,of course,have

13、to allow more time. There are two cafs in the museum,with seating for 80 people. If you want to eat there youlI need to reserve some seating, as they can get quite crowed at lunch time. Then utside the museum at the back there are tablesQ15, and students can bring their own lunch and eat it there in

14、 the open air.-When the students come into the museum foyer we ask them to check in their backpacks with their books,lunch boxes , etc, at the cloakroom before they enter the museum proper. Im afraid in the past we have had a few things gone missing after school visits so this is a strict rule. Also

15、,some of the exhibits are fragile and we dont want them to be accidentally knocked. But we do provide school students with handouts with questions and quizzes on them. Q16-18Theres so much that students can learn in the museum and its fun for them to have something to do. Of course! Theyll need to b

16、ring something to write with for these. We do allow students to take photograph. Q16-18 For students who are doing projects its useful to make some kind of visual record of what they see that they can add to their reports. And finally, they should not bring anything to eat into the museum, or drinks

17、 of any kind. There are also a few things the students can do after the tour. In the theatre on the ground floor there are continuous screenings of short documentaries about dinosaurs which they can see any time. Q19&20We used to have an activity room with more interactive things like making models

18、of dinosaurs and drawing and painting pictures, even hunting for dinosaur eggs, but unfortunately the room was damaged in a bad storm recently when water came in the roof, so tha1s closed at the moment. But we do have an IT Centre where students have access to CD ROMs with a range of dinosaur games.

19、 Q19&20 These games are a lot of fun, but they also teach the students about the lives of dinosaurs, how they found food, protected their habitat, survived threats, that kind of thing.And . . .I think thats all 1 have to tell you. Please feel free to ask any questions if you would like to know anyth

20、ing else.Section 3T: Right, Sandra. You wanted to see me to get some feedback on your groups proposal. The one youre submitting for the Geography society field trip competition. Ive had a look through your proposal and I think its a really good choice. In fact, I only have a few things to say about

21、it, but even in an outline document like this you really have to be careful to avoid typos and problems with layout in the proposal, and even in the contents page. so read it through carefully before submitting it, okay?S: Will do.T: And Ive made a few notes on the proposal about things which could

22、have been better sequencedQ2I. S: Okay.T: As for the writing itself, Ive annotated the proposal as and where I thought it could be improved. Generally speaking, I feel youve often used complex structures and long sentences for the sake of it and as a consequence . . . although your paragraphing and

23、inclusion of sub-headings help . . . its quite hard to follow your train of thought at times. So cut them down a bit,can vou?Q22S: Really?T: Yes. And dont forget simple formatting like numbering. S: Didnt I use page numbers?T: I didnt mean that. Look, youve remembered to include headers and footers,

24、 which is good, but listing ideas clearly is important.Q23 Number them or use bullet points, which is even clearer. Then youll focus the reader on your main points. I thought your suggestion to go to the Navajo Tribal Park was a very good idea.S: Ive always wanted to go there. My father was a great

25、fan of cowboy films and the Wild West so I was subjected to seeing all the epics, many of which were shot there. As a consequence,Q24 it feels very familiar to me and its awesome both geographically and usually, so its somewhere Ive always wanted to visit.Q24 The subsequent research I did and the on

26、line photographs made me even keener.T: Interesting. Right, lets look at the content of your proposal now.S: Did you find it comprehensive enough?T: Well, yes and no. Youve listed several different topics on your contents page, but Im not sure theyre all relevant.S: No? Well, I thought that from the

27、 perspective of a field trip, one thing I needed to focus on was the sandstone plateaux and cliffs themselves.Q25-27 the way they tower up from the flat landscape is just amazing. The fact that the surrounding softer rocks were eroded by wind and rain, leaving these huge outcrops high above the plai

28、n. Its hardly surprising that tourists flock to see the area.T: Well, yes, Id agree e with including those points . . .S: And then the fact that its been home to native American Navajos and all the social history that goes with that. The hardships they endured trying to save their territory from the

29、 invading settlers. Their culture is so rich - all those wonderful stories.T: Well, I agree its interesting, but its not immediately relevant to your proposal, Sandra, so at this stage, I suggest you focus on other considerations. I think an indication of what the students on the trip could actually

30、 do when they get there should be far more centraI, Q25-27so that certainly needs to be included and to be expanded upon. And Id like to see something about the local wildlife, and vegetation too, Q25-27not that I imagine theres much to see. Presumably the tourist invasion hasnt helped.S: Okay, I II

31、 do some work on those two areas as well. But youre right, theres not much apart from some very shallow-rooted species. Although its cold and snowy there in the winter, the earth is baked so hard in the summer sun that rainwater cant penetrate.so its a case of flood or drought, really.T: So, I understand. Now, before we look at everything in more detail, Ive got few actual questions for you. It would be a good idea to include the answers in your finished proposal, because theyre missing from your draft.S: Fine.T: so, yo
