问题 You will now listen to a conversation. You will then be asked a question about it. After you hear the question, you will have 20 seconds to prepare your response and 60 seconds to speak.
Question: The speakers discuss two possible solutions to the man’s problem. Describe the problem and the two solutions. Then explain what you think the man should do and why.

W: Hi, Ian. You send that internship application to Engulph Corp yet?
M: Uhhhh, no. It’s getting to be a real problem.
W: How’s that?
M: I need a letter of recommendation in less than twenty-four hours. But I have exams all day tomorrow and an economics paper to finish tonight. There’s just no time to get one.
W: You’re doing that paper for Professor John, right? Have him write you the letter? He’s a good guy. Plus he knows your work.
M: No good. He’s got things to do, too. He has to finish all his grading and pack his stuff because he is going to another university next semester.
W: OK, so just send everything off to the corporation and hope for the best. If you’re lucky, they’ll think they lost your letter!
M: Bad idea. This is a big, high-powered corporation. There’s no way they’ll even consider me if I forget something like that letter. It’s required!

答案 The young man is worried because he needs a recommendation letter for his internship application. But he has no time to have one written.
There are two solutions to the problem. The first one is to have Professor John write the letter. And the other solution is to send the application without the letter and hope for the best.
I believe the only good choice here is to ask the professor for the letter, because no corporation would consider a candidate who cannot even submit the required documents such as the recommendation letter. True, the professor is busy. But writing a letter like this is a common chore and would take little time. The student can also remind the professor to write something like how many classes he had with the professor and his performance in the classes.

解析 Task 5的重点是学生遇到的困难跟解决的途径。这道题是如何解决男生必须在24小时之内提交实习的推荐信，但是他没有时间准备的问题。重点在于如何fix the problem，原因不是重点。开头段可简单介绍原因，“The young man is worried because he needs a recommendation letter for his internship application．”但是，“But he has no time to have one written．”
