Tapescript

The Prime Minister has pledged today that he will make two hundred and fifty million
dollars available to help the drought stricken farmers who have not seen ram for years, get
through the next five years. Money that was to have been spent on the re-structuring of Sydney’s
road system has been re-allocated to what the Prime Minister described as 'a more worthy cause'.
Farmers are to receive financial assistance to help see them through the worst drought in over 50
years. Many farmers feel that while the money is welcome it has come too late to save them and
their farms from financial ruin and are angry that the government did not act sooner.

A group of school children who were travelling in a privately chartered aero plane from Sydney
to Queensland to take part in a musical concert found themselves swimming for the shore when
their aeroplane had to land in the sea just three minutes after taking off from Sydney airport. The
pilot managed to bring the aircraft and its 50 passengers down safely in the calm waters of
Botany Bay where boats and pleasure craft were able to come to the rescue of the boys.

 The fact that it was a weekend meant that there were hundreds of boats in the bay enjoying
the good weather and this undoubtedly helped the rescue operation. 'We owe our lives to the
skill of the pilot,' said one of the boys, but the pilot replied modestly that it was 'all part of a
day’s work'. However, all their musical instruments were lost and they never got to play at their
concert.

Tapescript

If your lecturers are unavailable, you can always come and see me in my office. I’m
available on Wednesday and Thursday mornings and on Friday afternoons. Outside these
hours, perhaps you could ring the secretary and make an appointment. Now you’ll note that
all of the subjects which you undertake in the first year are composed of lectures and
tutorials. A lecture is about an hour long and a tutorial usually runs for about two hours. A
lecture is rather like what I am doing now where one person will talk to all of you together
on a subject. We do ask you to try to attend the lectures.

Page 2 of 7
 A tutorial is perhaps where most of the learning occurs at a university. You will be
divided into groups of between 12 and 15 students and each week one of you will have to
present a piece of work to the group as a whole and then the group will discuss what you’ve
said. It’s this discussion, this exchange of ideas, which really constitutes the basis of
university learning, in my view. Listening to lectures in many ways is just giving you
information that you could access for yourself in the library but the discussion at the tutorial
is very important. This doesn’t mean that you shouldn’t go to the lectures though!

Other factors to be particularly concerned about are the structure of essays and delivery of
written material and in particular I would like to mention the question of plagiarism.
Plagiarism is taking other people’s work without acknowledging it, that is, without saying
where it comes from. Of course all essays are based on research done by other people but you
must remember to attribute the work to the original writer. And while it’s a good idea to
work with other people don’t hand in work which is exactly the same as your friend’s work
because we will notice! If you don’t acknowledge the source of your information then you
run the risk of failing the subject or in very serious cases you might be denied entry to the
university.

Last but not least, stay in touch with us. If things are getting you down, don’t tests go
and hide. Come and talk to us about it. That’s what we are here for. Right, global thank you
very much for coming along today.
