.pdf14.Speak of the possibilities that are opened up in the search activities in your laboratory stating what is being done at present and what is likely to be done in future.
15.Speak of the computer techniques that are widely used by scientists nowadays and of their still wider appli cation in future.
16.For many years radio probing techniques were used as the only method for obtaining information about the up per atmosphere, the ionosphere and interplanetary space. During the past decade scientific instruments have been developed for use in rockets and artificial earth satellites, which have opened up a very valuable additional source of information. Could you speak of such information obtained from the flights of space vehicles?
17.The laboratory you work at is not a new one. It has existed for many years . Go through all that was being done when you joined the laboratory staff.
18.To my knowledge, no work of the kind had ever been done before the new technique was actually intro duced. Could you explain why?

of the kind you started last year had been performed until then.
21
20.You're organizing an expedition to the Far North and are discussing now whom you may hold responsible for the organization.
21.Speak to your fellow-worker of a new method that will come into use when suitable appliances and devices are provided.
22.It's very often the case in experimental work that an experiment is performed'(but no data are obtained, worth speaking of, and you have to repeat it. Discuss this situa tion with .you supervisor.
23.You are getting around to start a big fundamental research, which will probably take you a few years to com plete. State what it is, what it will consist in, what you are planning to do this year and in the coming three years.
24. You are waiting for your colleague to finish his work and to go home together. And he isn't ready yet to | go; home. He is busy putting things in order in the labo ratory.
25.Speak of computer techniques in modem science.
26.The research undertaken in your laboratory a year ago is now being completed.
22
27.The method developed in the 80-s is now being re placed by a new one.
28.The proposal I have put forward is now being dis cussed everywhere.
29.This and other similar features have not been ob served in our experiments. It seems strange, why not?
30.Speak of the hypothesis offered as a starting point for discussion.
31.Give a short talk on the hypothesis suggested to ac count for the phenomena mentioned above.
32.Discuss with your friend the assumption made as to the mechanism underlying the above changes.
33.Comment on adequate equipment necessary for the experiment.
34.You have heard that no suitable technique will be developed in the nearest future for performing experiments of this kind. Develop this statement into the dialogue.
35.The view you have referred to is not reported by our further experiments.
23
36.Unfortunately the results were not thoroughly ana lyzed when the experiments were completed. Share with your colleague your impression.
37.Though the work was started soon afterwards, the experiments were not regarded as fully concerned with the study of those intriguing phenomena. Arrange a panel dis cussion about this problem.
38.Your colleague never expresses an opinion of her own. She does not seem to have any. On one occasion, however, she expressed her own view. It was last week when you discussed the advantages as well as the disad vantages of die newly developed technique.
