    I’m interested in 
    journalism, and I quite like the idea of moving to Scandinavia and writing for magazines 
    Q22
    . I’d find that more creative than translating, which I suppose most graduates do.
    BETH:
    OK. Now how are you finding the courses you’re taking this term, James?
    JAMES:
    Well, I’m really enjoying the one on Swedish cinema.
    BETH: 
    That’ll continue next term, but the one on Scandinavian literature that’s running at 
    the moment will be replaced by more specialised courses 
    Q23
    . Oh, and by the way, if
    you’re interested in watching Danish television programmes – there’s going to be a course 
    on that the term after next.
    JAMES: 
    That sounds good.
    BETH:
    Have you started thinking about the literature paper that you have to write in the next few
    weeks?
    JAMES:
    Yes, my first choice would be to do something on the Icelandic sagas.
    BETH:
    Hmm. The trouble with that is that a lot of people choose that topic, and it can be difficult
    to get hold of the books you’ll need. Why not leave that for another time?
    JAMES: Right.
    BETH: 
    You might find modern novels or 19th century playwrights interesting
    Q24
    JAMES: 
    I’ve read or seen several plays in translation, so that would be a good idea.
    BETH: 
    Fine. I’ll put you down for that topic.
    JAMES: 
    Right. So what would you advise me to aim at in the paper?
    BETH: 
    First I suggest you avoid taking one writer and going into a great deal of detail. That approach 
    certainly has its place, but
    I think you first need to get an understanding of the literature 
    in the context of the society in which it was produced – who it was written for, how 
    it was published, and so on 
    Q25
    . I also think that’s more fruitful than placing it within the 
    history of the genre.
    JAMES:
    OK, that sounds reasonable.
