Speaking
1. Your friend want to drop out of university or college , agree or disagree
2. Do you agree or disagree that to be successful, a person should
study in the university
3. Reading: college directory that has all the contact information of students. Two improvement of the directory: 1. Add photos of students;
2. Put the directory on the internet
Listening: agree to apply the revision. 1. Because some students may have the same name, photo helps students to find the right person. 2. Some students can’t find the directory.
It is easy for students to find these information if there are electronic version of the directory available online.
4. Reading: emotion display? (记不清那个术语的名字了). It means the expression of emotion depends on the society in which we are live in.
Listening: professor uses an example of his 4 years’ old daughter. She had a birthday party last year. Prior to the party, parents told her that she should hide the negative emotion when she didn’t like the gift received. Her grandmother gave her a cute clothes as a gift. But the girl didn’t like it and felt disappointed. Before her negative emotion became too obvious, her mom said the clothes was very cute. The girl suddenly realized that she should say thank you to grandmother and she did that.
5. The girl has a problem: she can’t register for Dr. Jonson’s Asian history class because the register office has closed the class. Two choice: 1. Take the class in summer with the same professor. But a 3 week’s class will be more intensive. Plus, she can’t get home to visit her parents early in the summer. 2. Take the class this semester with another new professor. She is not sure whether the professor is good or not.
6. Archeologists use different ways to decide the places where they should dig for findings.
1.Surface feature of the land. E.g. New Zealand. It has a typical structure. High land? (记不清了)。2. Plant : certain plants grow in certain places. E.g. Banana nuts tree were planted in Central American. These trees continue reproduction. So archeologists find the place which has banana nuts tree to dig.
Writing
1. Integrated writing
Reading: narswhal, a species of whale. It has husk, which may have three functions.
First, tusk is used to pierce through the ice sheet. So narswhal can breathe.
Second, tusks are used as weapon, attacking other whales.
Third, tusk is used to sense the ocean properties such as pressure, temperature.
Listening: disagree. Each argument has its weakness.
First, tusk will bend under pressure. It is too flexible to break the ice. Ice sheets break by themselves.
Second, tusking is a unique for them to communicate with other narswhal. Closer observers found that Narswhal use their tusks to gently rub other narswhals.
Third, all of male narswhals have husks, but only a few of females have husks. But females live longer than males.
2. Independent writing
If you need to discuss upsetting or controversial problems with others, you will use e-mail or text messaging, OR use the telephone or voice-messaging.
