问题     Complete the chart below.
    Match the advantages of joining a learning circle (I-VI) to the person.
    NOTE: there are more advantages listed than you will need.
    Reasons for joining  learning circle given by:
    Economics tutor  (21)  
       Hamish  (22)  
            (23)  
       Anita  (24)  
    Advantages of a learning circle
    I    commits to other students with a shared purpose
    II   can provide motivation to study
    III  commits time to study
    IV   can provide help with understanding subject material
    V    can provide support for other students
    VI   saves the cost of an expensive tutor
  
Anita   What’s the reason for the learning circle you’ve set up, Hamish?
Hamish  Well, it wasn’t my idea-the Economics tutor suggested it actually-he said that
     it’s a good way to make sure you put in the time needed for a particular subject.
     But for me, well, I thought that studying in a group like that would give me some
     incentive to study-I really need a reason to learn, you know, motivation, especially
     in Economics!
Anita   Hmm, I guess study groups can give you discipline and motivation. They’re both
     useful but my biggest problem is that I’m finding Economics quite difficult. I think
     I need extra help just to understand the material. A learning circle could help-I was
     thinking of even getting a private tutor.
Hamish  Private tutors can be expensive-you’re welcome to join us and it won’t cost you
     anything. Every week we’re going to begin the session with problems and questions
     from material that we’ve been given in the lecture. We want the learning circle to be
     practical and worthwhile, so that we all help each other to do well.
Anita   Do you think the others in the group would mind if I joined as well?
Hamish  Of course not-there are only five of us and you know us all.
Anita   I’ve been researching some past exam papers, so I’d be happy to contribute those to
     the circle if I join.
Hamish  One of the others suggested doing that too. He thought that we should try and
     identify any trends or common questions that were included in the past papers and
     that way we could prepare a little better for the final exam.
Anita   Yeah, that’s what I was thinking. In fact, I’ve already started looking at last year’s
     exams.
Hamish  Great-we’re also going to hold mock tutorials, so we can practise our presentations
     on a smaller group before we have to do the real thing.
Anita   I am so worried about that. I’m dreading that first presentation-I’ve never done
     any kind of public speaking before.
Hamish  Well, you’re not alone-I think we’re all pretty nervous about it but we’re hoping
     that the mocks will give us all a bit of confidence for the real tutorial. We don’t want
     the group to be competitive-just collaborative-you know, working together and
     helping each other.
Anita   It sounds like you’ve really thought the learning circle idea through-you seem
     well-planned.
Hamish  It’s just that when we all met last week to discuss the idea, we all had a list of
     objectives - you know, what we wanted to get out of a learning circle. That made
     the planning quite easy. Look, why don’t you come next week to our first circle and
     you can see if it’s what you’re looking for. If not, well, you won’t have lost anything
     and you can always organize a tutor for yourself afterwards.
Anita   Yeah, I think I will. When and where are you going to meet?
Hamish  Our inaugural meeting of the circle is on Thursday evening-from 6 to 8 in Ryan
     Hall.
Anita   OK-I’ll be there.
Hamish  We plan to talk about any material that we’ve had trouble with from the lecture first
     and then. We thought we’d talk about our individual learning styles. Even though
     we all know each other as friends, we thought that because it’ll be our first time
     together as a study group, it might be useful.
Anita   I’m not exactly sure what my learning style is!
Hamish  Give it some thought during the week and try to notice how you study  some
     people summarise everything or re-write lecture notes every week-others like
     to highlight the important points or group similar bits of information together.
     People like me-well, I have to read material at least three times before I can really
     comprehend it.
Anita   Really? I’m a writer I guess-I have to write everything down or I forget it straight
     away! I use the computer a lot.
Hamish  See-you do know how you learn-you just had to think about it.
Anita   I’ll bring the exam papers and the research that I’ve started.
Hamish  We probably won’t have time to look through them at our first meeting.
Anita   I’ll bring them anyway -just in case. I think this learning circle idea is going to be a
     great success!
