3. Game room

Sample Answer:

I suppose most of us would like to have a new study room. There are two reasons.

直接明确，表明我支持哪一个观点，有两个支持论点。

The first reason is it can help us study. Nowadays, GPA becomes more and more important for college students. Good grades can help us in getting an ideal job after graduation.

First 是逻辑词，让论述结构清晰，简介明了地引出第一个原因，举一个细节例子——学习好了有利于找工作。

The second reason is during the final exams, an additional study place will be necessary for us. At that time there will be crowds of people getting up early to study in our library. It will be difficult to have a seat in there. So if we can have an additional study room in our dormitory, it will be much more convenience when our library is full of people.

Second 和First一样，作为逻辑词使论述层次更清晰。接着简洁明了概述第二个原因，举第二个例子——期末图书馆占不到座位，最好是有个多的学习室。

Task 2   All people should be required to stop working and retire by age 65. Do you agree or disagree?

Sample Answer:

Personally, I agree with this proposal. There are two reasons.

直接明确地表明支持还是不支持这个观点，然后用平行结构列举两个论点。

On the one hand, requiring people to retired at 65 can leave more opportunity to young people. So it will be easier for the young to find a position.

On the one hand，注意逻辑结构，引出第一个原因。用一个例子支持该论点——老人强制退休，给年轻人让出更多的工作岗位。

On the other hand, being forced to retire at 65 doesn‘t mean retired people will do nothing and just stay at home. One can develop a new hobby different from his original job. For example, a math professor may get interested in history after he regains enough time in retirement. Thus may save people from life-long repetitive work and lead them into a brand new world.

On the other hand，与on the one hand配套使用，适用于说明两个原因。阐述第二个原因：老人退休以后可以拥有工作之外的爱好，丰富生活。最后举一个例子——数学教授退休之后可能会对历史产生兴趣。

标题：Laundry Room Renovation

学生们抱怨空间太小，机器太少，等待时间长，所以决定把Eastwood basement 扩建一下。期间暂时停用，使用Greenwood 的洗衣机。

听力

态度：没必要

原因1：只是周六日人多，需要排队，平时去人很少。

原因2：Greenwood 要绕过校园。花费的时间很长，尤其是衣服多的，可能需要走好几次，花的时间更长

Sample Answer:

In the passage, the university is going to have the laundry room renovated to add more laundry machine and dryers because students always complain about long waiting time when using the laundry room. However, the man thinks it is unnecessary. His first reason is that students pour into the laundry room only at weekends. If they come during the weekdays, they don’t need to wait for so long. The second reason is the laundry room will shut up if it begins to be renovated. And students will have to take their laundries far away outside school to get them washed. It will be very inconvenient.

标题：Permeable Group

定义：开放性的群体，对外来者不封闭的，而是愿意接受新成员的。新成员可能带来在以前群体的知识。

听力

例子：雌性黑猩猩chimpanzee结束青春期后可能选择新的群体，就会带来自己以前学习到的知识和技能。例如一个黑猩猩在以前的的群体里学习到可以用棍子去捅蚂蚁洞，诱使蚂蚁出来以吃到更多的蚂蚁，这个技能就可以被传递给接受她的新团体中。

Sample Answer:

This passage introduces a concept called permeable group. This notion means there are certain groups which are welcome to new comers. And thus will lead to the spread of some useful behavior. In the lecture, the professor takes chimpanzee as an example. A female chimpanzee can move from one group to another. And during its moving, it will teach other group members a practical technique to find food. That is a chimpanzee can thrust a stick into the ant hole. The ants will climb on the stick and then the chimpanzee can fetch back the stick and eat the ants on it.

Task 5

问题：男生看到一则以比较优惠的价格出售一个品牌鼓的广告，但是距离比较远，天气正冷，他需要乘车前往。

解决方案1：管朋友借车。

缺点1：车的供暖系统坏掉了，要到下周才去修。

优点1：可以多穿点衣服，让自己暖和点。

解决方案2：租车

缺点2：虽然不贵，还是要多少花些钱，使买该鼓并不划算。

优点2：暖和一点

Sample Answer:

In the conversation, the man wants to buy a drum from a person who lives an hour away. So he needs a car to get there. He has two solutions. The first one is using the car of his friend. However, it is winter and the car’s heating system has been broken. So it can be very cold this way. The second solution is to rent a car with good heating system but it will be much expensive. I suppose the first solution is better because even if the car has a bad heating system, the man can wear more clothes to keep warm. And also in this way, he can save some money for future use.

Task 6

话题：two characteristics of effective feedback

要点1：properly timed

例子1：艺术老师授课的时候反馈时间应在教学期间内，以便学生可以及时练习所给的建议

要点2：focus on the work, not on the students themselves

例子2：学生如果画的不好，可以给出一些具体的建议，一边学生知道如何进步，比如告诉他色彩有哪些问题，而不是说他是个bad painter。

Sample Answer:

The professor talks about two characteristics of effective feedback. The first characteristic is feedback must be properly timed. For example, in a painting class, teacher should give students feedback before the class is over. So the students can try recommended techniques in teacher’s feedback in their painting. The second characteristic is feedback should focus on students’ work, not on students themselves. For example, if a student use wrong color in his painting, the teacher should tell him to change another color in his future painting rather than just tell him he is a bad painter.
