问题 You will now listen to part of a conversation. You will then be asked a question about it. After you hear the question, give yourself 20 seconds to prepare your response. Then record yourself speaking for 60 seconds.
Listen to Track 103.

Briefly summarize the problem the speakers are discussing. Then state which of the two solutions from the conversation you would recommend. Explain the reasons for your recommendation.
Narrator
Listen to a conversation between two biology instructors.
Female instructor
Good morning, Paul.
Male instructor
Morning. Hey, I just heard something about a problem with registration for one of the biology classes? Do you know anything about that?
Female instructor
Yeah. It looks like the Developmental Biology class is already full. Some of the students are complaining—it’s a required course for them and they’re pretty upset that they can’t get it in this semester... and it’s not offered next semester.
Male instructor
I can see that. They have to take that class before they can take some of the upper-level courses. So how many students are we talking about?
Female instructor
Well, so far, it looks like there are about 10 students who couldn’t get in but need to take the course this semester.
Male instructor
Well, we should open a new section. I’m sure we can hire another teaching assistant to teach the class. Or maybe one of the TAs would be willing to teach two classes— they always want the extra money.
Female instructor
A new section’s a great idea but are all 10 students really gonna be available at the same time?
Male instructor
Maybe not, but if they really need the course, they’ll have to revise their schedules ... it is a requirement.
Female instructor
Hmm. Another option is to get some of the students who don’t need the class this semester. . . get them to drop the class. We should probably focus on the first-year students since they don’t really need the class yet.
Male instructor
We could send out a letter explaining the situation . .. and let them know that they’ll get top priority if they want to register for the class next year.
Female instructor
We might have to deal with some angry students.
Male instructor
Well, what can we do?
Narrator
Briefly summarize the problem the speakers are discussing. Then state which of the two solutions from the conversation you would recommend. Explain the reasons for your recommendation.
选项
答案     To respond to this particular question you should briefly describe the problem. It is enough to say that too many students have enrolled in a biology class. Some students who need to take the class this semester were unable to register for the class and are complaining. You do not need to give many details at this point. Next, you need to choose one of the two solutions and explain why you think that solution is best. The two solutions in this conversation are: 1)open another biology section(or class)and hire a teaching assistant to teach it, or 2)ask some of the students that don’t need the class this semester to drop the class. It does not matter which of the two proposed solutions you choose, since there is no "right" solution or "wrong" solution. You should choose the solution that you think is best and support your choice with reasons why you think it is best. The reasons you give can include information provided by the speakers as well as your own experiences.
    You may describe both solutions before choosing one of them, but you are not required to. You want to have enough time to summarize the problem, state which solution you prefer, and then provide an explanation for why you prefer that solution. Without any of these three parts, the response would be incomplete.
    In discussing your preferences, if you believe the first solution is preferable, you might say that this is the best solution because it is fair to all the students. You might discuss why the second solution would not work. You could say that it is not fair to force first-year students out of the class because they might have the same problem with registering for it next year.
    If you prefer the second solution, you might say that it would be too difficult to find another teaching assistant now, and if they did, the person might not be prepared to teach the class. It might be a waste of time for the students that are in that new class.
    These are only examples of possible responses. This type of question can be answered in many different ways.
    Your response should be intelligible, should demonstrate effective use of grammar and vocabulary, and should be well developed and coherent.
