Bài tập 1: Giáo sư Babayan đang hướng dẫn Tomoko, một trong những sinh viên của ông ấy, người mà đang định bắt đầu viết luận văn. Hoàn thành đoạn hội thoại sau với những từ đã học.

Dr Babayan: In the first chapter, you need a section where you d your t .

Tomoko: I’m sorry, what does that involve exactly?

Dr Babayan: You explain your t, the special technical words or phrases you’re going to use and what precise meaning they have so that your text is t, and every reader knows exactly what you mean when you use a word or phrase.

Tomoko: Does it have to be in the first chapter?

Dr Babayan: Well, usually, yes, though an alternative way of doing it is to provide an alphabetical g at the back of the dissertation where readers can look up the meaning. And remember, if you’re using different s of the same word you must explain each one.

Tomoko: That’s my problem. I sometimes find it difficult to d between the different meanings. There are so many s d between words and between the different meanings of the same words in English.

Dr Babayan: Yes, I know, but all languages are like that; it’s just that you don’t notice it in your own language. Look, a dissertation is all about c your ideas in a clear, c manner. If you use words which are a, your readers might m your text. So it’s always important to c what you intend to say.

Tomoko: Hmm. Oh well, I’ll try.
