听力材料
M: Good morning, Dr. Smith. My name is Peter. I ama freshman in your department. There are a fewthings that I am not quite sure of and I do need youradvice.
W: Thank you very much for your trust, Peter. As your academic advisor I will try my best. Justtell me how I can help you, Peter.
M: I used to major in English, but now I have made up my mind to switch to AppliedLinguistics, concentrating on Teaching English as a Foreign Language. It will probably take metwo years to get my master's degree since I also work part time.
W: So you want to switch majors?
M: Yes. But I have been wondering if it is possible.
W: Well, usually we allow it, as long as you have enough credits.
M: That's good news for me. I'm not interested in literature and that sort of thing. I wantto be a real teacher, Professor. Actually, teaching is what appeals to me, but I'm worried aboutthe make-up credits. I have been taking a lot of courses in English.
W: You usually do have to make up some credits when you switch majors. Are you OK oncredits?
M: Not too many. I'll have to add about 12 credits as far as I can figure from my transcript.Would you please let me know how many credits are required to get a master's degree?
W: Usually thirty-six credits are needed. If you take five courses per term, you'll haveenough credits after just two semesters. Usually each course is worth three credits. To get thesix remaining credits you either prepare a thesis or take two more courses.
M: I'm afraid I might find that course load a little too heavy. But now I have a clearer idea.Thank you very much for your help, Professor.
W: Well, many students carry a lighter load, especially in the first term.
M: Is there anything else besides the 36 credits for the master's?
W: You have to have an oral defense.
M: I see. All this about credits was so complicated but now I have more confidence. I reallyappreciate your help, Professor.
W: Glad I can help. Good luck, Peter.

20. What is the woman's profession?

21. Why does the man want to take up Teaching English as a Foreign Language?
