Track 21
Beth: OK, everyone. The first thing we have to decide is our topic. I mean,
what exactly are we going to talk about? We know the course is Art
History and the subject is Italian painting, but that's still too big. We
have to choose a particular topic. What do you think, Mandy?
Mandy: I think we should concentrate on a single painter.
Edward: But, on the other hand, if we discuss more than one artist, it'll be
easier to make comparisons and show the differences between them.
Farouk : That's a good idea, Edward. It'll give us more to discuss.
Mandy: Right. So the next thing is to decide which artists to look at. Lthink we
should definitely include Michelangelo. You know he painted the ceiling
of the Sistine Chapel in Rome. He's very famous... and what about
Leonardo da Vinci. They were both great painters. What do you think
Beth?

Beth: They're OK, I suppose. But don't you think everyone else will choose
them? How about Botticelli? His painting is very different from the
other two.
Farouk: I agree with Beth. Why don't we have: Michelangelo and Botticelli?

Track 22
Edward: Right, guys. Let's have a look at what we're going to put in the slides.
The first slide's going to be the introduction, isn't it? So. I guess it
should have a title. How about Michelangelo and Botticelli: a
comparison?

Mandy: Yeah... So we've got the title. Don't you think we should make a list of
bullet points for each of the slides in the presentation?

Farouk : Oh, yes... definitely. How many slides do we have to do?

Edward: Well, the presentation's ten minutes long, so we should probably have
a maximum of six slides... Remember that Beth's already got two slides
about Botticelli.
Mandy: Well, why don't we do two slides each... that'd be eight, including the
introduction and the conclusion?
Edward: That sounds fair enough. Let's do that.
So who's going to do the rest of the slides?
Farouk I can start off with the introduction. And then, I could do the
conclusion and the summary at the end. What do you think?
Mandy: Great. I'd like to talk about Mandy: Michelangelo's paintings. I've done
quite a lot of reading about them.
Edward: Fine. So I could do a couple of slides showing how Michelangelo and
Botticelli are similar and how they're different.

Track 23
Beth: Track We want the presentation to look as if it's been made by a team,
don't we. Edward? I think we should have a one design for all the
slides. Do you agree?
Edward: Oh, yes, of course. We don't want a different colour for each slide.
Shall we design a slide now for the rest of the group to use?
Beth: Yes, let's do that. Let's have a look ... This slide has the program icon
on the title box. Shall we keep it there?
Edward: No, I don't think so. It hasn't got anything to do with the presentation.
Let's take that off.
Beth: Fine. And I think we should keep the blue bullet points. They match t
the light blue title box. What do you think about putting images in each
slide?
Edward: Oh, absolutely. I think we should put at least one image on each slide.
Beth: Good. We're agreed, then. Let's send this slide to the others, shall we

Farouk OK, everyone. I've put all our slides together so we can see if we're
happy with the presentation. I think we need to check that we all
agree with the order... there's nothing to decide about my slides, the
introduction and the conclusion. Obviously, one of my slides goes at
the beginning and the other one at the end. Edward's slide, comparing
the two artists, will have to go after Beth's and Mandy's. What we need
to decide is which artist should go first. Michelangelo or Botticelli.

Mandy: Well, Michelangelo is more famous than Botticelli, isn't he? I mean
everyone's heard of him. Maybe he should go first. What do you think,
andy: Beth?
Beth: Umm... I'm not sure that just being famous is a good reason to put
him first.
Edward: OK, so isn't it sensible to put the artist who was born earlier first? Who
was that? When was Michelangelo born?
Beth: In 1475.
Edward: And Botticelli?
Beth: In 1445
Edward: So, let's put Botticelli first, and follow with Michelangelo
