Questions 1 through 5. Listen to a career counselor talk about two different types of employees.

Are you going to be more effective and happy as a specialist or as a generalist? Do you find real satisfaction in the precision, order, and system of a clearly laid-out job? Or are you one of those people who tend to grow impatient with anything that looks like a "routine" job?

There are a great many careers in which the emphasis is on specialization. You find these careers in engineering and in accounting, in production, in statistical work, and in teaching. But there is an increasing demand for people who are able to take in a great area at a glance. There is, in other words, a demand for people who are capable of seeing the forest rather than the trees, of making overall judgments. And these "generalists" are particularly needed for administrative positions, where it is their job to see that other people do the work, where they have to plan for other people, to organize other people's work, to initiate it and appraise it.

Specialists understand one field; their concern is with technique, tools, media. They are "trained" people, and their educational background is technical or professional. Generalists—and especially administrators—deal with people. Their concern is with leadership, with planning, with direction, and with coordination. They are "educated" people, and the humanities are their strongest foundation.

Any organization needs both kinds of people, although different organizations need them in different ratios. It is your job to find out, during your college years, into which of these two job categories you fit, and to plan your career accordingly.

1. What is the purpose of the talk?
2. According to the speaker, which people are likely to be specialists?
3. Based on the information in the talk, indicate whether each characteristic below more accurately describes a specialist or a generalist.
4. According to the speaker, why are generalists needed in administrative positions?
5. What can be inferred from the talk?

Questions 6 through 10. Listen to part of a talk in a botany class.

There are several common leaf arrangements in wildflowers. In the usual arrangement, the one called alternate, each leaf is attached at a different level on the stem. This poppy is a good example. See how ... uh ... there's a leaf here, on the right side, and above that a leaf on the left here, and above that, one on the right again ... and so on, alternating right and left, all the way up the stem.

Another type is the opposite arrangement. Notice the difference between the alternate leaves on the poppy and the opposite leaves on this bee plant. The bee plant's leaves are paired on opposite sides of the stem. See how they’re attached at the same level of the stem, but on opposite sides.

And here we have yet another kind. This one's called basal and our example is the amaryllis. Notice how all the leaves are at ground level, at the stem's base. The amaryllis ... this particular plant, and all other members of the amaryllis family ... uh ... it has narrow basal leaves and a long, leafless stalk.

I have some lovely samples to share with you today. I'd like you all to come up and examine the contents of... uh ... these two tables. Many of them are specimens of the sunflower family, which includes several species with alternate and opposite leaves. Take a good look and see if you can identify the three types of arrangements. It's OK to handle ... but let me ask you to please handle with care, as some of them are quite delicate.

6. How does the instructor organize the information that she presents?
7. Select the drawing that best shows the alternate leaf arrangement.
8-9. Based on the information in the talk, indicate whether each sentence below describes the alternate, opposite, or basal leaf arrangement.
10. What will the students probably do next?

2.6      Summarizing a Process
Listen to part of a talk in a film class.

The part of filmmaking that most people know about is the production phase—when the film is actually being shot. But a lot of the real work is done before and after the filming. The film's producers are in charge of the whole project. The producer hires a director to make the creative decisions. The producer and the director work together to plan the film. They hire writers to develop a script for the film. Then, from the script comes the storyboard, an important step in the planning. The storyboard is like a picture book, with a small picture for each camera shot. Under each picture, there's a summary of the action and sometimes a bit of dialogue.

Then comes the production, when the filming takes place. During production, the director and crew concentrate on getting the perfect camera shot. The director may ask for several takes of the same shot, sometimes changing the script for each take.

After the filming is done, there's still a lot to do. This is the post-production phase, and includes editing the film. The editor's job is to cut up the various film sequences and then put them together in the right order so the story is told in the best way. The editor works closely with the director, as well as various artists and technicians. This is when the sound and special effects are added—the final result being the finished movie you see in the theater.

The professor explains how a film is made. Summarize the process by putting the steps in the correct order.
