TUTOR: So,let's look at some new targets.We'llstart by having a chat about your Chapter One.I verymuch enjoyed reading it.Your written style is veryclear and you've included lots of interestingdescriptions of education in your target area.I've justgot a couple of suggestions for some additionalwork.
SANDY: Of course.Could I just ask - what do youthink I should call it?
TUTOR: Well,I'd go for something like ContextReview.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 fewmore 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 thinkyou 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 the meantime,I think youshould also be thinking about Chapter Two.
SANDY: Should I be drafting it already?
TUTOR: No,but I think you should note down its main sections.
SANDY: Yes.You know,I always find that the hardest part.
TUTOR: I always find it helpful to put some ideas on index cards.
SANDY: Yeah.
TUTOR: Um...and then you can sort them,and even lay them out on the floor.It's a real help.
SANDY: Well,I'll certainly try it!When would the deadline be for that?
TUTOR: My advice would be to get it done before you embark upon the research.You canalways change it later if you need to.
SANDY: OK.I'll get going on that then.
