听力原文: Presenter: Welcome to this short--and you have my word, it will be short!--presentation on the conference and meeting facilities available at the Construction Education Centre. The Construction Education Centre is the established focal point for many major activities connected with building materials, construction, architecture and design--and even some activities outside those areas. For almost seventy years it has remained at the heart of the industry and today plays host to many important events, receiving over 100,000 visitors, trainees and delegates throughout the year. The Construction Education Centre provides the perfect venue for a wide range of business, educational and social functions including: conferences, seminars, meetings, special events, product launches and press events, exhibitions, presentations, lectures and training classes. Our team of experienced personnel is on hand to ensure your event runs smoothly and our aim is to remove the normal worries and concerns from function organisers so that events are both cost-effective and anxiety-free. Some our recent clients include Design for Homes, the Association of Building Engineers, Learn Direct, the London Housing Federation and even the College of Law.
A full range of equipment is available for use, including a slide projector, which is available for half or whole days, video and monitor, 35mm carousel slide projector with infra red remote control and screen, flip charts and accessories, laser pointers and lecterns. Other audio-visual equipment can be provided as well as access to Broadband Internet services. Details are provided on request. My business card is attached to the brochures you've been given.
Allow me to provide you with a brief introduction to our range of rooms. On this slide, you can see the main conference room. We call it the London Room. Spacious, isn't it? This room has the advantage of central movable panels, making it an ideal venue for seminars of up to 140 people or receptions for up to 200. The suite may also be used for presentations. The room may be divided into three separate rooms if required. This slide shows you the Bloomsbury Room. It is also ideally suited for seminars and lectures. There is seating for 72 people or it can be used as a reception area for up to 100. Next, we have two rooms that are very similar. Indeed, we have given them virtually identical names. We call them Holborn 1 and Holborn 2. They are both suitable for small meetings, training classes and presentations. Hol-born 1 is slightly larger, capable of hosting 20-22 people, whilst Holborn 2 holds a maximum of 18 people. The Oxford Suite measures 12 by 6 metres and provides a more spacious and luxurious environment for executive meetings and presentations. As you can see, it is particularly elegant and well furnished.
The Construction Education Centre also has an exhibition area, which is used by many clients when they hold a conference or meeting. This can be used as a way of informing delegates of your company or as a visual launch pad for your company or it's products and services. Recently, we held an exhibition entitled "Sustainable London" from Friday 9th March until Saturday 28th April. Here are a few slides showing that exhibition. The "Sustainable London" exhibition presented the challenge, the response and progress towards a sustainable 21st century city. The exhibition featured over 60 different schemes from private houses to master plans and showed how local government, architects and engineers are employing technology to reduce environmental impact and address climate change. Here, we can see an example of a display of environmentally friendly technology by some of the leading brands in the field.
I would also like to show you a few slides showing our educational activities. Here, you can see our vocational students assessing construction plans. We currently have about 1

第10题
t came here to study?
Jatinder: Well, Katarina, when I first arrived in the UK, I was just so excited to be living in a foreign country: away from my parents ... that I just didn't really notice anything at first. How about you, Ali?
Ali: Yeah. Same here. That's quite typical, isn't it? Everything seems new and fascinating. But, after this initial enthusiasm wears off, all the new experiences may begin to overwhelm you. Things that you found exciting at first may now seem strange and a little frightening. Even minor differences, such as being unable to buy your usual brands of various products, can add to the sense of strangeness.
Jatinder: Yes. That's right. Then you may start to experience sudden mood changes and strong reactions, feeling lost, disoriented, and even irritated and resentful. Most of all, you may wish you were back among the familiar people and places at home. All international students can experience culture shock in some form. ... even those coming from countries with very similar lifestyles to those in the UK. It is important to understand that this reaction is entirely normal and that it will pass.
Katarina: OK. So what suggestions do you have for me?
Ali: Well, I made sure that I arrived early. I got here about ten days, yeah, ten days before most of the other students, so that I could settle in before things got busy. Many universities run special induction programmes for international students in the week before term begins. A typical induction programme provides a tour of the college or university, an overview of its facilities and how to use them, help with registering for your academic programme, and social events where you can meet other students and staff. This can help you to start to get used to your new environment.
Katarina: Yeah, I heard about those ... but too late unfortunately. Jatinder, did you go on an induction course like Ali?
Jatinder: No. I wish I had, but my parents wouldn't let me go a day sooner than absolutely necessary. It was very annoying.
Ali: Every university has counsellors who can give you practical advice on adjusting to your new environment. These people have special training in offering advice and support, and they understand the challenges you face. They can listen to you sympathetically, offer practical suggestions, and refer you to other professionals if necessary. Your personal tutor and the staff in the international office of your college or university can also be helpful.
Jatinder: Have you heard about the 'buddy' or mentoring system? Students who have been at the university or college for a longer period give advice to new arrivals, and are available for help and guidance throughout the year. There is information on schemes such as these at the students' union or the international student association will help you become involved. I used the system when I arrived and found it really opened some doors socially: you know, I got to meet lots of people, like Ali, right?
Ali: Right! Katarina, I think that it's also important to keep in touch with home. Use the telephone, e-mail and conventional mail to keep in contact with your friends and family at home. In larger towns or cities with large international communities, like this one, you may be able to find people from your country. Spend some time with them. Many international students find that it helps to make contact with people from a similar background because they understand what you are going through. Spending time with people from your country can also be a relaxing break from the 'strangeness' of the UK. You can speak your own language, eat your own foods and talk about what is going on back home.
Jatinder: Yes. and don't forget that the university has a variety of cultural societies, as well as an active international students' association: ask at the student union. They may also have inform
