--Good morning, Dr. Blake. Sorry I’m running late.
--Oh, no problem, Angie. It gave me a bit of time to review your research proposal.
--Oh good. So you had a chance to look at my proposal. And what do you think?
--Well, it’s reasonably well presented. But if you really want to get that grant, I think, you should explain how you are going to set up, get a more focused on statistical analysis. Cause frankly, I’m not so sure what is the, the best way to go about what it is.
--Well. You really need to clear that up. Why don’t you go to the computer center? You can tell the woman at the information desk. Er, Miriam, I think her name is. Tell Mariam what you need and she will direct you to one of the statisticians there. You know, someone who can tell you the best way to set up your experiment, in order to get your statistics in a meaningful form. Then that procedure needs to be explained in your proposal.
--OK. I’d better do that right away.
--Yeah, I think that’s a good idea. Proposals have to be in before the office closes on Friday. You are going to want to have a clear idea how you are going deal with your data.
--Thanks, bye.
--Uh, just a minute, Angie.
--Yes?
--Before you go, there are a couple of more points. Let’s see, I wrote a couple of comments on this draft you gave me. Here you are. My concern is how you’ve defined, or I should say, haven’t defined your subjects. You mentioned that you’ll be testing nonnative speaker’s linguistic recognition of certain English stress patterns. But you haven’t clearly defined the group of subjects.
--Well, I’ve made contact with a group of international students who are willing to work on that project.
--Yeah, I know. But there are some issues that the committee will question. The proposal as you have it seems, somewhat like comparing apples and oranges. We’ve talked about your subjects being given an oral fluency tests so that you can choose subjects with about the same linguistic level. But you haven’t made that clear in your proposal. The committee will say that the data from, let’s say, a tonal-language speaker at a high level can’t be compared to a romance-language speaker at a beginning level. The data would be ambiguous. You need to explain how you’re going to select your subjects.
--You mean I should write more about the oral tests we talked about.
--That’s right.
--Oh, I am sorry, Dr. Blake. I have a class in 20 minutes. And I want to get to the computer center. It’s on my way to the classroom building to set up an appointment. So could I come back around 3:30?
--No. That is not a good time for me. Why don’t you read through my comments and work through the explanations about subject selection. And would you have time to bring your next draft in first thing in tomorrow morning? We will go over the final details quickly and that would give you time to make other necessary changes before you turn it in.
--Oh, I will really appreciate that, Dr. Blake. Thank you so much for your help. Bye.

我是在word上听写的，写完了再对照文本用红色修改有误的部分。直接发到这里，红色的标注就不见了？这有点匪夷所思，不过，实质重于形式嘛。
