Is that right? BP: Yes, research has shown that there ‘may be many different types of learner. But one way we can look at this is ta divide people into two groups: hoists and serialists. Now, ‘most people will probably use both approaches, but often we find people are quite strongly one or the other Ik Holists and serialists So, what's the difference between the two? : Well, students who are serialists lke to study taking one step at a time. ‘They look at a subject oF topic and work through the different parts af the topic in order. 1k And holistic eamers? How are they different? P: The holists are very different. They tke tohave a general Understanding oF the whole topic. And they find iteasier to study and learn ifthey have an idea cof the’big picture. They dont woxry so much about the detail Oh. That's me. | think fm more of aholist, P: Are you? Well, you see [TEM Recording 3 [Pintenviewer P= Profe le So, tell me a litle bit more about the serialist. You said that they like to learn things in sequence, in order P: Thats right. So, they start at the beginning, and when they feel they've fully understood one part, then they are ready to move on to the next part. ‘But i's very important to them that they understand the detail, OK. Theseare the kind of people who always read the instructions before they try @ new piece of equipment cor machinery, Ps Thats ight rofessorI: And what about the holistic learners? OK, Well, a holist never starts learning about a topicat the beginning, “They jump around and get lots of information. 59, they might pick up ’ book about the topic and choose a chapter in the middle and start reading there. That’ lke me. choose the bit fim rast interested in, Ps Exactly, Buta serialist learner will start at the beginning and read each chapter in order. That’ very interesting. What about ‘ring? Is there a difference there too? Yes, absolutely. serialist will make careful plan of everything they have to write and then begin to research each area, Buta holst will read about a lot of different things and have lots of bits of paper with notes. Then they vill try to put the different pieces together when they begin writing. 1 That’ very tue. There is paper everywhere, | think my tutors at Lunivessity would like me to be more seralist.

For example, \ahen a woman gets divorced, se might want to go back to her ‘original name, Right. ‘St And, of course, other people just don't like theic names, But then there are ‘more interesting reasons, lr Can you give us some examples? ‘S¢ Well, the boxer Muhammad Ali was criginally called Cassius Clay, When he changed his religion he also changed his name to Muhammad All Ir So, teligious reasons. Yes. And for famous people ~ especially actors and singers they need a name thats easy to say and easy to remember. So, for example, the singer Faraokh Balsara Who's thar? Farookh Balsara was the real name of Freddie Mercury. From Queen. 3: That’ right. The lead singer of Queen. And, of course, Freddie Mercury is easier to remember than Faraokh Balsara, Or Georgios Kyriacos Panayiatou Who? 'S: Georgios Kyriacos Panayiotou 's the real name of the singer George Michael ah. ‘St It's the same with lots of singers, actually. Sting’ real name is Gordon ‘Sumner. The singer froma U2, Bono ~ his real name is Robert Hewson, and sa on and so on. Now another reason ‘people want to change their name, ‘especially if they are immigrants from another country, s to identify with the new country. So maybe you're from Germany and your real name is ‘Wilhelm, When yau goto the United States, you might change it to William. (Or your name's Andreas and you change it to Andrew. 1k This probably happens alot in the United States and England, ‘St Exactly People want to mix with lthers. And having aname thats easy 10 recognise and to pronounce helps alot. Another reason peopie change their names isto separate themselves from thelr family or fram famous parents. Angelina Jolie’ father is the actor John Voight. She was originally alled Angelina Jolie Voight. 1k But she dropped the name Voight. ge+ That’ ight. And another reason for people changing their names is that there was a mistake, Oprah Winfrey's ‘mother named her Orpah Winfrey.
