【答案解析】Prompt
The speakers discuss two possible solutions to the man"s problem. Briefly summarize the problem. Then state which solution you recommend and explain why.
Important Points
This question asks you to briefly summarize the problem being discussed (that the man, who is the president of the Anthropology Club, needs to transport the club members to the museum tomorrow, but the van he was planning on using has broken down) and recommend one of the solutions. Please note that it is not a requirement to summarize both solutions (renting a van or postponing the trip).
After you state which solution you recommend, you should offer reasons and support for your opinion. For example, if you agree with the first solution, you could say that the club members will almost certainly help him pay for the van rental since they are his friends. You could add that the special exhibit might end before they could get to the museum at a later date, so if he postpones the trip, the club members could end up very disappointed.

The speaker covers the problem thoroughly and accurately. Although she doesn"t need to describe both solutions, she still mentions both, and goes into detail on the solution she is recommending. She offers a lot of support for her opinion—that he shouldn"t disappoint the club members, and that as club president it is his responsibility to borrow and pay for the transportation. Her pronunciation is almost always clear, with the exception of the word " exhibition ." She also has some grammatical inaccuracies, such as saying " Man is the president " instead of " The man is the president ," but they are minor and do not prevent the listener from understanding her points.
Mid-level Response: Listen to
Rater Comments
The speaker"s response is filled with many hesitations, which prevent her from completely finishing. She covers the problem accurately but runs out of time before she can finish explaining why she thinks the man should postpone the exhibit. In this case, she should not have tried to mention both solutions, because she used up needed time by doing so, and she is not quite fluent enough to cover that much information during the response time. Her grammar is generally accurate and her pronunciation of individual words is clear, but her frequent hesitations make her response somewhat difficult to follow. [听力原文]
