1Remind me, Trevor, how long is the presentation?
2Dr White said three per hour.
3So about twenty minutes?
4Well... it'll be fifteen minutes per presentation.
5And five minutes for questions.
6And is this one going to be assessed?
7No, not this time round
8because it's the first one... you know.
9Oh, good news.
10Well, Trevor, what are we going to include?
11Well, do you think we ought to give some historical background?
12Oh no, definitely not, we won't have time!
13OK...
14but I think we ought to say something about the geographical location
15cos not a lot of people know where the islands are.
16Yes, okay...
17I'll take notes, shall I?
18Yeah, that'll be a help.
19So, geographical location...
20Then we ought to give an overview of the whole education system.
21Shouldn't we say something about the economy,
22you know agricultural produce, minerals and so forth?
23Well, Dr White said we shouldn't go into that sort of detail.
24But it's pretty important when you think about it,
25you know, because it does influence the education system.
26Look, let's think about that one later shall we?
27Let's see how we're doing for time.
28Okay, so... general overview of education.
29Of course... and then the role of English language.
30Hmm... Nope, that goes in the Language Policy Seminar, don't you remember?
31Are you sure?
32Positive.
33Alright.
34so those are the topics we're going to be... to be covering.
35We need to think about what to prepare...
36Dr White said he wanted us to use plenty of visuals and things and...
37we might as well try them out when we're not being assessed.
38Well, the most important thing is the overhead projector.
39No problem, we'll get that from the media room.
40Must remember to book it.
41Well... we'll need a map of course.
42Probably two... one of the islands... large scale.
43And one of West Africa.
44Well, the West African one is no problem.
45There's one in the Resources Room.
46Oh yeah, of course, the resources room;
47the islands are going to be more of a problem.
48Tell you what, there's a very clear map of Santiago in that tourist brochure I showed you last week.
49Don't you remember it?
50Oh yeah, that's right;
51we can just use the tourist brochure.
52We also need statistics on several different things.
53Literacy rates.
54Yes, and school places.
55How about the encyclopedia?
56Nah... not up-to-date enough!
57Mmm... why don't we call the embassy?
58Oh... someone's enthusiastic!
59Well... if something's worth doing...
60I know... it's worth doing well... okay.
61We can find out statistics on school places from them as well.
62Might as well.
63Look, Julie, it's almost time for our tutorials.
64We can meet again on Monday
65but we need to prepare...
