Listening

Situation 1 Talking about a career in chemistry and chemical engineering

Task 1

Listen to a conversation and tick the advices the professor gives.

□ 1.The career goal and objectives are vital in choosing the degrees.

□ 2.Chemical engineers usually work in a laboratory.

□ 3.Modern chemical engineering is closely related to the use of computers.

□ 4.Chemical engineering majors have more opportunities for career advancement.

□ 5.Math is essential for chemical engineering majors.

□ 6.It is important to develop a way of creative thinking for chemical engineering majors.

□ 7.Chemistry is more complex than chemical engineering.

Task 2

Listen to the conversation again and complete the sentences according to what you've heard.

Michael:Hi,Prof.Tomkins.I'm in a 1 of what degree to choose at the university.I'm primarily torn between chemistry and chemical engineering.

Tomkins:Practically speaking,I think the big decider is your 2 and objectives.

Michael:What are the career differences between them?

Tomkins:Chemical engineers scale up a 3 that a chemist has developed on a very small scale.A chemist working for the drug company,for instance,works in a lab to develop a new drug.But the drug is on a small scale,in micrograms.After the drug has been tested and once the company decides to go ahead and make the drug,on a 4,that's where the chemical engineer comes in.

Michael:What kind of high school students should consider 5 in chemical engineering in college?

Tomkins:Students who are good at chemistry and math and like both subjects should consider it.

Michael:What about those who not only love computer science but also have an interest in engineering?Has chemical engineering 6 the use of computers?

Tomkins:Yes.Modern chemical engineering involves an 7 of computers for process simulation and design,product characterization and process control.So students who like math and chemistry and physics as well as computer science would do well to 8 chemical engineering.

Michael:What advice would you offer to someone who is interested in chemical engineering?

Tomkins:I think it's important to understand 9,to understand mathematics.Chemical engineering is more of a way of 10 rather than what you learn.

Situation 2 Getting prepared for a job interview

Task 3

Listen to a passage and answer the following questions.

1.What should you grab for a job interview?

2.If you're not sure how to get there,what are you advised to do?

3.What will you put in your pack if you look prepared?

4.If you get stuck in a job interview,what will help you?

5.What can you do to try to look prepared?

Task 4

Listen to the passage with some blanks for you to fill in.

Get everything ready for the interview,so that the following day you can just grab your things and go.These include what you'll be 1,your CV,and a map of the destination.

If you're not sure how to get there,try and make the journey 2.Being late doesn't send out a great first 3.

Always remember to take important 4 profile materials with you.Take a pack containing your CV,5,examples of your work and any 6 of merit or qualification levels.

Even if some of these things are not needed during your interview,you'll not only be prepared—you'll look 7 too.Also,they are a great point of 8 when demonstrating a point or if you get stuck. T0AlYt6qnuMGXcbpvLnljgfeP8PW+4oNUVVcR8si3tJR/UEIZZ19uNR0LTGIPZRK
