IELTS Listening Part 3: A Research Project on Food Waste

Part Three. You will hear two students talking to their tutor about a research project on food waste.

Bagian tiga. Anda akan mendengar dua mahasiswa berbicara dengan dosen pembimbing mereka tentang proyek penelitian mengenai sampah makanan.

First, you have some time to look at questions twenty-one to twenty-five.

Pertama, Anda punya sedikit waktu untuk membaca soal nomor dua puluh satu sampai dua puluh lima.

Now listen carefully and answer questions twenty-one to twenty-five.

Sekarang dengarkan baik-baik dan jawab soal nomor dua puluh satu sampai dua puluh lima.

Come in, both of you! So, how's the food waste project going?

Masuk, kalian berdua! Jadi, bagaimana perkembangan proyek sampah makanannya?

Really well, actually! We've just finished collecting our data.

Lancar sekali, sebenarnya! Kami baru saja selesai mengumpulkan data.

Good. Remind me, how did you collect it?

Bagus. Coba ingatkan saya, bagaimana cara kalian mengumpulkannya?

We weighed the leftover food in the campus canteen for two weeks.

Kami menimbang sisa makanan di kantin kampus selama dua minggu.

We also handed out a short questionnaire to students at lunchtime.

Kami juga membagikan kuesioner singkat kepada mahasiswa saat jam makan siang.

Interesting. And why did you use both methods?

Menarik. Lalu kenapa kalian memakai kedua metode itu?

Because people don't always do what they say they do.

Karena orang tidak selalu melakukan apa yang mereka katakan.

And that's exactly what we found! The gap was huge!

Dan itulah yang kami temukan! Selisihnya besar sekali!

Most students claimed they hardly ever threw food away.

Kebanyakan mahasiswa mengaku hampir tidak pernah membuang makanan.

But nearly a third of every meal ended up in the bin!

Padahal hampir sepertiga dari setiap porsi berakhir di tempat sampah!

A third? Goodness, that's far higher than I'd have guessed.

Sepertiga? Astaga, jauh lebih tinggi dari dugaan saya.

Bread and vegetables were wasted the most.

Roti dan sayuran yang paling banyak terbuang.

So, what do you think is behind it?

Jadi, menurut kalian apa penyebabnya?

I think the portions are simply too big.

Menurut saya porsinya memang terlalu besar.

Well... I'm not so sure about that.

Hmm... aku nggak terlalu yakin soal itu.

Honestly, a lot of students just don't like the vegetables!

Jujur saja, banyak mahasiswa memang nggak suka sayurnya!

Oh, come on, Tom. We never even asked about taste!

Ayolah, Tom. Kita bahkan nggak pernah tanya soal rasa!

Before you hear the rest of the conversation, you have some time to look at questions twenty-six to thirty.

Sebelum mendengar sisa percakapan, Anda punya sedikit waktu untuk membaca soal nomor dua puluh enam sampai tiga puluh.

Now listen and answer questions twenty-six to thirty.

Sekarang dengarkan dan jawab soal nomor dua puluh enam sampai tiga puluh.

Okay, okay. You both make fair points.

Oke, oke. Pendapat kalian berdua masuk akal.

Your data can't settle it, so mention it as a limitation.

Data kalian belum bisa memastikannya, jadi sebutkan itu sebagai keterbatasan.

Sorry, we really should have included a question about that.

Maaf, seharusnya kami memasukkan pertanyaan soal itu.

So, where do you go from here?

Jadi, apa langkah kalian selanjutnya?

Oh! What if the canteen served smaller portions for a week?

Oh! Bagaimana kalau kantin menyajikan porsi lebih kecil selama seminggu?

Yes! Then we could weigh the waste again and compare.

Ya! Lalu kita bisa menimbang sisanya lagi dan membandingkannya.

Hmm, but you'd need the catering manager to agree first.

Hmm, tapi kalian harus dapat persetujuan pengelola kantin dulu.

Um, right... Could you possibly email her for us?

Eh, iya... Apa Bapak bisa mengirim email kepadanya untuk kami?

Ha, I had a feeling you'd ask that. Leave it with me.

Ha, saya sudah menduga kalian akan minta itu. Serahkan pada saya.

Thank you so much! That would really help.

Terima kasih banyak! Itu sangat membantu.

Just make sure your first draft is ready by Friday.

Pastikan saja draf pertama kalian siap paling lambat hari Jumat.

We will. No leftovers this time, I promise!

Siap. Kali ini tidak ada sisa, janji!

That is the end of Part Three.

Sekian Bagian Tiga.
