  1. 0:00 Part 3. You will hear two economics students, Hannah and Oliver, discussing their project on street food markets. First, you have some time to look at questions 21 to 25.
  2. 0:23 Now listen carefully and answer questions 21 to 25.
  3. 0:28 Hannah: So, for our project on street food markets, I thought we could focus on food hygiene.
  4. 0:34 Oliver: Hmm, that's been done a lot. I'd rather look at how traders set prices.
  5. 0:40 Hannah: Good point. Let's focus on how traders set prices, then.
  6. 0:46 Hannah: How about collecting our data through counting customers?
  7. 0:50 Oliver: I think interviewing traders would give us much better information.
  8. 0:54 Hannah: OK, agreed.
  9. 0:56 Hannah: The biggest problem so far has been traders not wanting to discuss income, hasn't it?
  10. 1:02 Oliver: Definitely. Markets closing early was a minor issue by comparison, and we sorted that out quickly.
  11. 1:09 Oliver: When I saw the tutor, I expected her to tell us to pay the traders, but in fact she said we should ask about price ranges instead.
  12. 1:17 Hannah: That makes sense.
  13. 1:19 Hannah: For the final presentation, should we make a cookbook?
  14. 1:23 Oliver: I'd prefer a data dashboard. It'll be more engaging.
  15. 1:28 Hannah: Fine, let's do that.
  16. 1:30 Before the discussion continues, you have some time to look at questions 26 to 30.
  17. 1:45 Now listen and answer questions 26 to 30.
  18. 1:50 Hannah: Is the deadline still Monday?
  19. 1:52 Oliver: No, it's been moved. It's now Tuesday.
  20. 1:57 Hannah: How many participants should we include? 30?
  21. 2:01 Oliver: I don't think that's realistic. Let's aim for 20.
  22. 2:06 Hannah: Who is going to write the introduction?
  23. 2:08 Oliver: You're better at that than me, Hannah. Would you do it?
  24. 2:13 Hannah: Sure, I can do that.
  25. 2:15 Hannah: What should we do first? Should we draft the questions?
  26. 2:19 Oliver: Before that, we really need to book a room in the library.
  27. 2:23 Hannah: Shall we meet in the library next time?
  28. 2:26 Oliver: It's always too noisy there. Let's meet in the seminar room.
  29. 2:31 Hannah: OK, see you there.
