ABSTRACT
In this chapter, student interpreter distinguishes between three uses of the term "idea" and learn to break down speeches into ideas. The most oft repeated thing student interpreter hear is to "note the ideas and not the words!". The first thing to understand is that when interpreters use the word idea, they may be referring to any one of three things. There are the ideas described by Rozan, meaning the underlying meaning of a word or expression as being more important than the actual word(s) chosen to represent that meaning. Most people think foreign students come to attend top universities and of course these are the students want to attract. But the real picture of the parts of Britain's education system that attract foreign students is much more varied. It includes the publicly-funded further education sector, private vocational colleges, language schools, independent schools and many partnerships between higher and further educational institutions.
