Now turn to section three. Section three. You'll hear a conversation between three people about use of university computers.
First you have some time to look at questions 21 to 27. Now listen carefully and answer questions 21 to 27. Hello there, do you work in the computer room? Yes I do, can I help you? Well I'm a first year and I know that I'll need to use the computer room for my work because I don't have a computer of my own.
So I thought I'd get down here and see what I have to do in order to get time on one of the university's computers. Okay, there are four computer labs open to undergraduates. The others can only be used by the staff and postgraduates.
The names of the four labs you can use are Wimborne, Franklin, Salisbury and Court. Wimborne and Court are in this building, the Johnson building. Franklin is in the computer sciences building and Salisbury is in the library.
So I can use them whenever I like? Well you can use them but not whenever you like. As you can imagine they're in quite a lot of demand so you have to reserve your time on a computer. In each of the labs there is a reservation book and you can reserve your time on a computer in that for two hours daily.
If a computer is free though you can go on it straight away. It's quite straightforward but be sure to always write your name in the reservation book in pen or someone can rub it out and put their name in instead. Oh my god, does that really happen? I'm afraid so and far more often than you would think.
When people are stressed about their assignments they'll do anything to get some time on the computers. Better not try it yourself though you'll be banned from the computers for the rest of the academic year and your password and username will be taken away. That reminds me, I've got to get a username and password.
How do I go about that then? Well what I'll do is to pass you over to my colleague Jane as she's in charge of all that. Jane? Yes Dave? I've got a new student here wanting to find out about usernames and passwords. Can you help him out with that? Yeah sure.
Hi there. Hi. Well it's a straightforward process.
First of all tell me your name and I'll type it into the system. James Smith. Right let me do that.
You see all students are automatically given a username and then they just choose a password themselves. Okay so your username is James Smith2. That's all small case.
That means there must be more than one of you at the university at the moment. Well what do you want your password to be? I think I'll choose biology as that's the subject that I'm studying though my girlfriend Mary will be upset that it's not her name I'm using. Well that's all done.
You can now use any of the four undergraduate computer labs. By the way can I print out stuff at the labs? Yes you can but sometimes it's not quick. When you print it goes into a queue and it'll be left in a tray in Franklin as that's where all the main printers are.
The good bit is that although last year it cost three pence per page now it doesn't cost you anything. You now have some time to look at questions 28 to 30. Now listen to the rest of the conversation and answer questions 28 to 30.
I don't really know much about computing. Is there any training available? Yes we have introductory courses for all new students. There is beginner, intermediate and advanced.
Which would you like to go for? Well I have done some but I don't know if I'm up to anything more than beginner. I'd better stick with that. Intermediate could be too tough.
Well your course is in Franklin then. We're in court now. You know where that is? That's in this building too isn't it? No that's Wimborne you're thinking about.
Franklin's over in the computer sciences building. Anything else? I don't know what time the course starts. Let's have a look then.
Advanced starts at 4.30 in the afternoon on Mondays but yours is the day after at 5 in the afternoon. Are there any other times as I've got a part-time job then? Yes you could try Thursday at 2pm. How's that? Even worse as I have a tutorial then.
Anything else? No that's it. I'll have to rearrange work then. I can't miss the tutorial.
That is the end of section three. You'll now have half a minute to check your answers.
