1.Talk about a place you
enjoyed going or visiting when you were a child. Describe the
place. Explain why you enjoyed
it.
When I was a child, I enjoyed
going to an Internet Bar. It is still open now. It's only
5-minute's walk away from my home and sits beside the street. The
internet bar is not very big. It only has two rooms and each is
full of computers. In summer vacations, My friends and I usually
went there early in the morning playing many computer games such as
Age of Empire, Star War and Counter Strike. The owner of the bar is
a very kind person. He opened the door very early in the morning
just for us. My friends and I occupied a room, sit side by side and
yelled to each other when we were playing games. It was a lot of
fun.
2.Do you agree or disagree with
the following statement? Why or why not? Use details and examples
to explain your answer. It is more important to
study math or science than it is to study art or
literature.
I strongly disagree with the
statement that studying math or science is more important than
studying art or literature. Of course, math and science are very
important. But it is meaningless to say that they are more
important than art or literature. We admire Newton for his
scientific achievements such as Newton's first law. We equally
admire Leonardo for his art accomplishments such as Mona Lisa.
These two people are not comparable because they are in two
different fields. So some people may like studying science. Some
may like studying literature. They all make contributions to the
human civilizations. So math or science and art or literature, they
are equally important.
3. The man expresses his
opinion about the university's plan. State his opinion and explain
the reasons he gives for holding that opinion.
The man thinks it's a great
idea to let the culinary students to cook meals in the Campus
Dining Club. His first reason is that it's good for students in the
culinary program. His cousin is in the program and says preparing
meals for a large number of people is very different from just
cooking in the classes. Because cooking in classes, you can just
take time, but cooking for many people, you have a lot of pressure
and might make mistakes. So it's a very a good practice for them.
His second reason is that even with the extra cost, the meals
provided by these students are still much cheaper than that of the
fancy restaurants in the town. But the food will be equally good.
He thinks it'll be worth it.
4. Using the professor's
examples, explain the advertising technique of target
marketing.
Target marketing is a strategy
of advertising to smaller, specific customers. The professor uses a
cell-phone company as an example. If the company wants to sell
phones to young people, it’ll choose to put a TV commercial in the
programs that young people like to watch and in the commercial, the
phone is shown to be cool and has a bright color. Also, in the
commercial, kids are having a good time with their friends. If the
company wants to appeal to businessmen, it’ll put a different TV
commercial in a business program. Besides, the commercial will show
how the cell-phone can handle all business efficiently and can save
money. So it’s basically the same cell-phone, but the company makes
two different commercials to attract two specific groups of
people.
5. Briefly summarize the
woman’s problem. Then state which solution you would recommend.
Explain the reasons for your
recommendation.
The woman sprained her wrest
but she is supposed to play the violin in her string-quartet
concert next week. Now she is upset. In the conversation, they talk
about two possible solutions. The first one is that she can just
wait and play the violin in the concert next week because her
doctor says that she will be better when the concert begins. But
she will be out of practice and probably perform badly. The second
solution is that she can ask Jim to take her place. Jim is a very
good violinist. But he is not very reliable, because he is always
late for rehearsals. I recommend her to choose the second solution.
Since she is definitely going to be out of practice, it’s better to
ask Jim to take her place. And since she knows Jim’s problem, she
can urge Jim to show up on time for all the rehearsals. It’s just
only a week.
6. Using points and examples
from the talk, explain the two types of
motivation.
In the lecture, the professor
talks about two types of motivation: extrinsic motivation and
intrinsic motivation. Extrinsic motivation is external. A person
with extrinsic motivation performs a behavior in order to get an
external reward. For example, a child who does some housework
doesn’t really enjoy doing housework. She just wants to obtain some
money. If her parents stop giving her money, she might stop doing
the housework. However, people with intrinsic motivation do
something out of pure pleasure. They do something because they
enjoy doing it or they get a sense of accomplishment from it. For
example, the professor goes to the gym several times week. She is
not going there for Marathon training or anything. She goes there
because after some exercise she feels good about
herself.
