Exercise 56
I. Pre-Listening Exercise
II. Listening Exercise
III. Post-Listening Exercise


Purpose:

Writing the abstract (part two): summarizing the anticipated results of the project and its overall contribution to a particular field / 摘要撰寫（第二部分）: 歸納希望的結果及其對特定領域的貢獻

　

I. Pre-Listening Exercise [Top]

Check the meanings of the following words and expressions:

  • simulation results
  • a 3D face
  • optimizing
  • manually retrieving
  • tolerable errors
  • constructing
  • a digital face
  • enhancing
  • multimedia or animation applications
  • formulation costs
  • digital objects

Consult page 231 of Writing Effective Work Proposals by Ted Knoy for some of these definitions.

II. Listening Exercise [Top]
1. Listen to the conversation by pressing the "Play" button and then answering the following questions. Press the "Final score" button to check your quiz results.


1. How much time can William’s proposed model reduce the time to construct a 3D face?
A. by 5%
B. by 10%
C. by 15%

2. What is the conventional way of constructing a 3D face?
A. creating realistic digital objects
B. optimizing the 3D model
C. manually retrieving 2D images

3. What kind of tolerable errors does William’s proposed model minimize?
A. those associated with creating realistic digital objects
B. those associated with reducing formulation costs
C. those associated with constructing a digital face

4. What applications does William’s proposed model enhance?
A. industrial or artistic ones
B. multimedia or animation ones
C. creative and innovative ones

5. Which word is the most similar in meaning to “enhance”?
A. degrade
B. activate
C. upgrade

Score =

2. Listen to the story again as you read the audiotranscript on page 338 of Writing Effective Work Proposals by Ted Knoy.

III. Post-Listening Exercise [Top]
1. Read the audiotranscript with a partner or change some of the information to adapt it to your situation.

2. Write the second part of an abstract for your work or research project by summarizing the anticipated results of the project and its overall contribution to a particular field. View the accompanying two Power Point presentations on details of how to write this assignment.

3. Write four questions beginning with “How” that involve summarizing the anticipated results of a project and its overall contribution to a particular field. The question does not have to come directly from the listening exercise.
Example: How can William’s proposed model enhance multimedia or animation applications?
Answer: By reducing formulation costs and creating more realistic digital objects
Example: How will your proposed method contribute to efforts already underway in this field of research?
Answer: It will allow researchers to more accurately estimate related problems.
