: You will now read a short passage and listen to a conversation on the same topic. You will then be asked a question about them. After you hear the question, give yourself 30 seconds to prepare your response. Then record yourself speaking for 60 seconds.
The business studies department at State University will now require all students enrolled in its program to complete one semester of work experience in a local corporation or small business. It is felt that students will benefit from this work experience by developing leadership and organizational skills that would not normally be learned in a classroom or campus setting. Furthermore, the relationships that students establish with the company that they work for may help them to secure permanent employment with that company once they have completed the program and graduated.

【正确答案】
【答案解析】Prompt
The woman expresses her opinion of the university"s new policy. State her opinion and explain the reasons she gives for holding that opinion.
Important Points
When answering this question, it is important to include information from both the reading passage and the conversation between students. You should indicate that the woman disagrees with the business studies department"s new policy, which requires students in the business department to spend one semester working in a local corporation or small business. You should also explain the two reasons she gives for disagreeing with this policy: she doesn"t think students will actually develop leadership and/or organizational skills at the jobs they would have to work, since they would be doing basic tasks that won"t be meaningful; and she doesn"t think that this experience will help students find permanent jobs in the future, since many other universities have similar programs and so there will be too much competition with other students.

This speaker clearly states the woman"s opinion of the policy (" The woman believe that this policy is not a positive move "), a brief explanation of the policy, and the two reasons why she disagrees with the policy. The speaker makes a few very minor agreement errors (" the woman believe"; "the abundance of university who"; "offered to student "), but these do not prevent listeners from understanding what the speaker is communicating. The speaker has very clear pronunciation and speaks at an even pace, making use of appropriate pauses and intonation. He is also able to use advanced vocabulary and grammatical structures effectively (" she believes that job that would be offered to student would be really low-level and low-responsibility jobs which will not allow them to grow into and develop the qualities of leadership"; "contrary to what the policy says ").

This speaker addresses the question, but does not provide a complete answer, and her response is overall somewhat difficult to follow. She states the woman"s opinion, but does not explain what the woman is disagreeing with, since she only makes a vague reference to the policy " Girl says, say, say that uh recruiting proposed by university is not a good uh, urn, uh, a good statement ". While she does use some sophisticated vocabulary (" particular skills," "permanent employment "), she does not fully explain her ideas. For example, when she says, " he didn"t give any particular skills in leadership or organization ," she does not make it clear that she is talking about the woman"s brother or his job experience, and how that relates to the new policy. Her pronunciation is clear, but her control of grammar is weak, which makes it difficult to understand her meaning: " when the student um attain graduation, have to compete with older students...so there"s no any ...."
