【范例原文】: TUTOR: Hello, Sandy. How have you been getting on with your dissertation?

SANDY: Fine, and I’ve been working hard on the various action points we agreed on our last tutorial.

TUTOR: Do you want to talk me through what you’ve done?

SANDY: Yeah, sure. Well, we agreed on three main targets for me to aim for. The first one was to find out about suitable data analysis software.

TUTOR: Yes.

SANDY: And what I decided to do was to look through catalogues specializing in IT.

TUTOR: That’s a good idea. What did you come up with?

SANDY: I found the names of two promising ones.

TUTOR: Right.

SANDY: But I also thought it’d be worthwhile talking to a lecturer.

TUTOR: Oh right. Who did you see?

SANDY: Jane Prince. Do you know her? She’s in the Computer Centre.

TUTOR: Yes, of course, she’s the new Head.

(………………………………………………………….)

TUTOR: So, let’s look at some new targets. We’ll start by having a chat about your Chapter One. I very much enjoyed reading it. Your written style is very clear and you’ve included lots of interesting descriptions of education in your target area. I’ve just got a couple of suggestions for some additional work.

SANDY: Of course. Could I just ask – what do you think I should call it?

TUTOR: Well, I’d go for something like Context Review.

What do you think?

SANDY: Well, short and to the point.

TUTOR: Exactly. Now, as regards specific areas to work on, I’d be quite interested to have a few more statistics about the schools in the different zones.

SANDY: Oh, that wouldn’t be a problem. I can get them from the Internet.

TUTOR: Great, and although you did make a reference to quite a few different writers, I think you should aim to cite more works written later than 2000.

SANDY: OK. That’s more difficult, but I can try. When do you want that done by?

TUTOR: Oh, it’s not urgent. Um I should aim for the end of term. But in meantime, I think you should also be thinking about Chapter Two.
