口语

Task 1 Choose between the following three activities that your school is planning to hold. 1. a theater performance by student actors 2. a concert by professional musicians 3. a lecture by a well-known professor

Task 2 Which do you prefer? Review your notes regularly throughout the semester or review the notes at the end of the semester for a day or two?

Task 3 A student has proposed that the university should remove the large-screen TVs from the dining hall. Because this disturbed students who want to have a quiet environment or who want to have undistracted personal conversations with one another. While the man in the conversation held a negative view towards the proposal for two reasons. Firstly, the dining hall is supposed to be a place for students to relax. It can’t be perfectly quiet. If students want to find somewhere quiet on campus, there are plenty of places to go, like the library. Secondly, college students are adults already. They are mature enough to generate conversations with each other if they really want to. The school shouldn’t be concerned.

Task 4 Prototype matching refers to the meaning that people could make choices by imagining other people’s decision. The lecturer talks about an example of a guy deciding whether to commute the few miles by car to new job or just to ride a bicycle. He first imagined the typical person he would find in each decision choice. People who take cars would be able to arrange their own money but may not be very athletic. For people who take bicycle, they tend to be athletic and sporty. Then he compared each person to himself, and he made the decision to ride a bike because he can relate to the athletic cycler more.

Task 5 The man in the conversation is an editor of the campus newspaper. The newspaper is planning to publish a report about an art exhibition, but the student writer called in sick. So the man faces two possible solution. He can either wait the writer to recover or he can ask another student to write it.

Task 6 The professor illustrates how animals determine their status. One approach is fighting. When two birds in the flock both want to access to the food resource the first, they just fight with each other with their beaks. The winner gets to eat first and have higher status in the flock. Another approach is to make a simple guess. When the two birds who are fighting for higher status, the third bird observed and found it weaker than either of them. Therefore, the third one determined that its status is lower than those two simply through observation.
