  1. 0:00 Part 3. You will hear two tourism management students, Nadia and Grace, discussing their project on traditional crafts and tourism. First, you have some time to look at questions 21 to 25.
  2. 0:24 Now listen carefully and answer questions 21 to 25.
  3. 0:29 Nadia: So, for our project on traditional crafts and tourism, I thought we could focus on airport shops.
  4. 0:36 Grace: Hmm, that's been done a lot. I'd rather look at how tourism keeps crafts alive.
  5. 0:43 Nadia: Good point. Let's focus on how tourism keeps crafts alive, then.
  6. 0:50 Nadia: How about collecting our data through reading travel blogs?
  7. 0:54 Grace: I think visiting craft workshops would give us much better information.
  8. 0:59 Nadia: OK, agreed.
  9. 1:01 Nadia: The biggest problem so far has been craftspeople being too busy to talk, hasn't it?
  10. 1:07 Grace: Definitely. A lost recording was a minor issue by comparison, and we sorted that out quickly.
  11. 1:15 Grace: When I saw the tutor, I expected her to tell us to choose another region, but in fact she said we should offer to visit at quieter times.
  12. 1:24 Nadia: That makes sense.
  13. 1:26 Nadia: For the final presentation, should we make a written report?
  14. 1:31 Grace: I'd prefer a photo essay. It'll be more engaging.
  15. 1:36 Nadia: Fine, let's do that.
  16. 1:38 Before the discussion continues, you have some time to look at questions 26 to 30.
  17. 1:53 Now listen and answer questions 26 to 30.
  18. 1:58 Nadia: Is the deadline still Thursday?
  19. 2:01 Grace: No, it's been moved. It's now Wednesday.
  20. 2:05 Nadia: How many participants should we include? 40?
  21. 2:10 Grace: I don't think that's realistic. Let's aim for 12.
  22. 2:15 Nadia: Who is going to write the introduction?
  23. 2:18 Grace: You're better at that than me, Nadia. Would you do it?
  24. 2:23 Nadia: Sure, I can do that.
  25. 2:25 Nadia: What should we do first? Should we email the tutor?
  26. 2:29 Grace: Before that, we really need to book a room in the library.
  27. 2:34 Nadia: Shall we meet in the seminar room next time?
  28. 2:37 Grace: It's always too noisy there. Let's meet in the café.
  29. 2:42 Nadia: OK, see you there.
