【正确答案】Key points: The man's problem is that his learning partner is lazy and has not done any work on a project for which they will be graded together. One possible solution is for the man to have a serious talk with his partner and lay out a plan for completing the project. Another solution is to talk to his professor about working on the project with a different group. Opinions about the preferred solution will vary.

【答案解析】[解析] W: How are your classes going? M: All right mostly, well, that is, except for environmental science. The class is fine, but my learning partner--the guy I'm supposed to do my project with--well, to be honest, he's lazy. I've done all the work so far, but we're being graded together. W: That's not good. You need to have a serious talk with your partner. You can't let him ruin your grade. You need to lay out a plan for who does what and when. He has to take responsibility for his part of the project. M: That's for sure. He's hard to get a hold of, too. I've left several messages on his answering machine. W: You'd better let your professor know about this. Maybe he'll let you do the project with someone else. M: It's kind of late for that. Besides, I've already started working on it, and so has everyone else. W: You never know-. Maybe you could sort of look around for another group to join. But I would see what your professor says first. The students discuss a problem that the man has. Briefly summarize the problem. Then state what you think the man should do, and explain why.
