Task3:
1.一个写作项目要在入学考试中增加面试,女生认为这样不对,首先这毕竟是写作项目,writing是最核心的,而且一个好的talker不一定是好的writer,学校这样做可能会exclude那些写作好,但是shy的人。其次,面试时间那么短,几句话看不出来一个人的合作能力怎么样,何况合作能力可以overtime慢慢培养,她举例说自己就和别人合作不是很好,但加入写作组后,大家处的时间长了,竟然也有了很棒的讨论。
Theschool has made a new requirement for the essay writing class. Students arerequired to participate in more discussions with their teachers as well as withtheir classmates. In the conversation, however, the girl does not like this newrequirement. She says that essay writing should be a highly personal andprivate experience, so there is no need to have discussions. A good talker isnot necessarily a good writer, as the girl puts it. Furthermore, the girl saysthat in practice, such discussion activity might not work effectively, becausethere will always be students who are too shy to engage in any usefuldiscussions.
2.问题报纸说学校改制度第一年纪新生只能在第一学期修4个学分而不是5个学分。男生非常同意,并且用自己的经历去证明。1他过去5个学分没有任何时间去参加club或者social,现在参加的club都是大二时候加入的,限制大一选课,能使他们多参加社团活动。2可以提高researchskill他过去就不知道怎么写论文,怎么去organize而且他也不知道怎么去collectresources from libarary。限制选课后大一新生就能关注这些事了,对他们学术有好处。
3.the university is offering new internship opportunity to journalism student.and the woman think it is great.
first,student will gain professional skills through this experience, and also thisexperience looks good on resume.
second,final course doesn't have regular schedule for student to attend.
4.读:一个校报letter说一个学生提意见说图书馆家具 沙发太烂要求换新的,理由是大家经常去图书馆学习希望morerelaxing 更舒适
听:女生反对,说太relaxing反而不利于学习,因为太舒服了很容易就没心思学习了,光休息了。她建议说换家具不如多装一些电门,因为学生都是带laptop去的,经常不够用。这个更necessary
5.学生写信给校报 希望剧院的assistants canbe paid and trained
MM:你怎么看?
BOY:当然好 原来大家是义务的 所以另有一份真正的工作(real job)如果有冲突就只能选择realjob
现在付钱就可以更好的工作了
MM:howabout the training part?
Boy:可好了!现在的舞台背景比以前复杂很多 如果有专人指导 效率更高 而且play 本身也会变好
6.【大学通知】:美国大学要求参加西班牙Spain留学交换项目的美国学生到西班牙以后住校liveon campus。好处1、住宿费便宜cheap。好处2、可以和nativeSpanish speaker住在一起,有利于学习西班牙语learnlanguage(Spanish)和西班牙文化。
【学生议论】:女生反对此计划。理由1、其实学生在校园周边也能找到便宜的房子。她举了她sisterhome stay的例子。她已经找到一个本地家庭localfamily愿意租,房租相当便宜。理由2、和美国学生住在一起,大家都说英语,没法学习improve西班牙语言和文化。所以要搬出去住,只是不要说英语。
