IELTS Practice Listening: Matching Features ID: #57284 Medium Public relations
Instructions
Tick the correct one for subjects given.
You will hear a conversation between two students discussing different course options at college, including public relations. Now listen carefully and answer the questions. I was a bit unsure about all the different subjects you can choose on this course. Well, I can tell you a bit about them. There are some subjects you have to do and some that you can choose. The most interesting course I've done is public relations. From what I've read, it doesn't look very demanding. Some of it is really just common sense. But it will be really useful if you want to go into marketing or advertising. That's true. But I need to find out a bit more about it first before I decide if it will really help me. It's difficult to tell from the prospectus. But you are interested in marketing? Oh, yes. Well, you can choose a marketing course. I wasn't very impressed with that course, actually. The tutor didn't make it very interesting. It's good to put on your CV that you've done a marketing course, though. So that would be a definite for me. And maybe I'd get a different tutor. What other courses did you choose? I'm doing taxation, as I was thinking of training to be an accountant, but I'm not sure now. Oh, that will be a good option for me. Because I enjoy working with figures. Although I don't want to be an accountant, it'll be good to have an understanding of taxation, especially if I ever run my own business. Then there's the most popular course, which is human resources, and a lot of people seem to get jobs in that field. My friend works in human resources, and she's really good at it. But I don't think I've got the right personality, so I'd give that one a miss. I'm more interested in how businesses actually work, the structure. That's A compulsory course, the structure of business. But you might find information systems helpful. Is that kind of computer programs? Some of it is, but also databases, project management and other things. This sounds useful, but I'll have to look at some of the other possibilities first. Ivan, this course sounds as though it would suit me. I'm going to apply. Great. If there's anything else you want to ask me, you've got my number. Thanks.
