Part A :

Well, I can go through the possible strategies with you and let you decide where to go from there.

嗯我可以把所有的技巧都和你理顺一遍，让你决定从哪里开始。

Okay, thanks.

好的，谢谢。

Well, some people find it helpful to organise peer-group discussions.

有些人认为组织同辈团队来讨论很有帮助——

You know, each week a different person studies a different topic and shares it with the group.

你知道，每个星期都有不同的人学习不同的话题，并与小组分享。

Oh right.

哦是的。

It really helps build confidence, you know, having to present something to others.

它确实有助于建立自信，你知道，你必须向别人呈现出一些事情。

I can see that.

我懂了。

The drawback is that everyone in the group seems to share the same ideas... they keep being repeated in all the dissertations.

缺点是，每个人都在组中似乎都有相同的想法…他们一直在重复所有的论文。

Okay.

是的。

You could also try a service called "Student Support".

你也可以尝试一种叫做“学生互助”的服务。

It's designed to give you a structured programme over a number of weeks to develop your skills.

它的目的是给你一个结构化的程序，在一个星期的时间，以发展你的技能。

Sounds good.

听起来不错。

Yes, unfortunately there are only a few places.

是的，不幸的是只有几个地方。

But it's worth looking into.

但值得期待。

Yes, of course.

是的，当然。

I know I have got to work on my study skills.

我知道我得在我的学习技能方面努力。

And then there are several study skills books you can consult.

然后有几个学习技巧的书籍你可以参考一下。

Right.

是的。

They'll be a good source of reference but the problem is they are sometimes too general.

他们将是一个很好的参考来源，但问题是他们有时太笼统了。

Yes, that's what I've found.

是的，这就是我发现的。

Other than that I would strongly advise quite simple ideas like using a card index.

除了我强烈建议使用一个卡片索引的简单的想法。

Well, yes, I've never done that before.

嗯，是的，我从来没有这样做过。

It's simple, but it really works because you have to get points down in a small space.

这很简单，但它确实有效，因为你必须在小的空间中把点记录下来。

Another thing I always advise is don't just take your notes and forget about them.

另一件我经常建议的事情是，不要只是记笔记，而忘记他们。

Read everything three times.

阅读所有的东西三次——

That'll really fix them in your mind.

这会真正的把它们记在你的脑子里。

Yes, I can see it'd take discipline but...

是的。我可以看到它会采取纪律，但…

Well, if you establish good study skills at this stage they'll be with you all your life.

好吧，如果你在这个阶段建立了良好的学习技能，他们将一生伴随着你。

Oh, yes, I completely agree.

哦，是的。我完全同意。

It's just that I don't seem to be able to discipline myself.

这只是我似乎没有办法约束自己。

I need to talk things over.

我需要谈一谈。

Well, we'll be continuing these tutorials of course. Let's arrange next month's now.

好了，我们会继续这些教程。让我们现在安排在下个月。

Let's see, I can see you virtually any time during the week starting 22nd January.

让我们看一下，从1月22日开始的一周里，任何时间我都可以见你。

What about the 24th?

那24日呢?

I'm free in the afternoon.

我下午有空。

Sorry, I'm booked then.

对不起。我那时有预约了。

What about the following day?

第二天呢?

Thursday?

星期四?

I can make the morning.

我早上可以。

Fine, we'll go for the 25th then.

好吧，我们就定在25日吧。

That's great, thanks.

太好了，谢谢。
