1. Students oftenlike to study with others in a group. What do you think are thebenefits of group study? Explain your reasons.

There are several benefits.First of all, in a group, if you have any problems, you can alwaysfind group members to help. Since everyone has different strongsubject, if you have trouble with math, you can find a member tohelp you, if you have difficulty with physics, you can also findanother member to help you. Secondly, studying in a group offerschances for discussion. People view things differently. Indiscussions, you can learn different perspectives. And this canhelp broaden your horizon.

2. Do you agree ordisagree with the following statement? Children should receivemoney for doing household tasks such as cleaning. Use specificexamples and details to support your opinion.

I agree with this statement. Ifchildren do household tasks, they can receive money. With theincentive, they will probably do the tasks more actively. This canhelp children develop some basic living skills. They’ll learn howto do the laundry, how to wash dishes, how to clean up the room oreven how to cook. More importantly, this can help childrenunderstand a lesson: no pains, no gains. Parents can stop givingchildren allowance unconditionally. Rather children should earntheir allowances through their own labor. Children may even developa sense of economy.

3. The man expresseshis opinion about the proposal described in the letter. Brieflysummarize the proposal then state his opinion about the proposaland explain the reasons he gives for holding thatopinion.

The writer of the letterproposes that the university should run a free bus service betweenthe campus and the airport during break times, because there iscurrently no public transportation in the line. Also, theuniversity can use the regular buses on campus to do this service.The man in the conversation thinks this is a great idea. Firstly,he says that right now, it’s very expensive to get to the airport,since students always have to take taxi if they don’t have friendsto give them a ride. It usually costs about 30 or 40 dollars. Thisis a big money for students. Also, he says that at the break times,there are fewer students on campus. So not many students need thebus service on campus. They don’t go to library asoften.

4. Explain how theexample from the professor’s lecture illustrates thechoice-supportive bias.

Choice-supportive bias is aphenomenon that after making a choice, people tend to remember theadvantages only and forget the disadvantages of the choice. Theprofessor uses his own life experience to illustrate this. Yearsago, his friend and he went to see a house. The house had a perfectlocation. It was near his friend’s working place. But it was alittle small. His friend wanted a bigger house. Still his friendbought the house. After a few years, when the professor and hisfriend talked about the decision of buying this house, his friendsaid it was very comfortable living in this house, coz it’s closeto the working place. But his friend kind of forgot that house wassmall and thought the house was big enough.

5. Briefly summarizethe problem the speakers are discussing. Then state which of thetwo solutions from the conversation you would recommend. Explainthe reasons for your recommendation.

The woman is stressed outbecause she has to finish 3 research papers before the end of thesemester and she also has to work in an office. Her problem is thatthere is not enough time. There are two possible solutions. Thefirst is that she can reduce the working hours in the office. Thesecond is that she can get an extension on history paper. But fewpoints will be taken. If I were the girl, I would choose the secondsolution. Working in an office is not just a part-time job; it mayalso become an opportunity after graduation. Since the historyprofessor has already granted extension, she can take it. I thinklosing a few points is nothing compared to a futurecareer.

6. Using theexamples of starthistle and Kit fox, describe two ways roads canaffect the environment.

The professor talks about twoways roads harmfully affect the environment. The first way is bytransporting plants to new areas. The transported plants willcompete with native plants for natural resources. For example,there is a kind of weed, starthistle that gets transported bytires. In the new environment, it competes with native plants forwater. This makes it harder for native plants to survive. Thesecond way is by dividing the animal habits into smaller areas.Animals in smaller areas won’t have enough food to supportthemselves. For example, Kit fox eats mice and squirrels. Thesesmall animals spread over large tracts of land. Now the fox’shabitat has been divided by high ways. It’s very hard for the foxto find enough food. So the number of the fox decreases.
