That's not a transcript. There are no such words as yr, u, sth. There is also no such word as thks.
You haven't said which you think is the correct answer and why. Have a go at it yourself. _________________ Cheers m' dears! |

opps! so sorry Beeesneees! I just abbreviate some common words, center on the main problem I want to get.What I'm trying to write here is in a hope of decent explanation from you. If the writing seems to annoying or anything, then I'm really sorry. I don't intend to do that.
Back to the problem, I thought A was the best answer,but that book holds D for the question. I do not know why, so I thought of resorting to your helps. thank you in advance! |

| but I think about it in a different way. In a sense, A and D are both correct, but A is more specific than D as the prof.'s advice is to convince the student to alter her project. in the rest of the listening, he tries to explain why the student should do so.For this reason, I choose A. But the answer in the book is D.??? |

A uses the term 'to make the student...' The key word is 'make', which in this context indicates that the student must change her project. The professor **advised** the student to change the project because it would help her entry process to law school. He didn't **force** her to change her project. _________________ Cheers m' dears! |
