【正确答案】problem The woman says that she has a problem: she has to write a short story if she wants to join Professor Millar's writing class, however, she is worrying about her writing skills. solutions The man gives her two solutions. One is that she can sit down and write a short story immediately. The other is that she can submit a poem she wrote before. best solution In my opinion, I would like to try the second solution if I were in her situation. reasons Firstly, as she will have a biology test four days from now, she will not have enough time to prepare for the exam if she spends hours writing a story. Besides, she is not very confident with her story. It's easy to submit a poem and it'll shorten the time. As the poem must be good because it was submitted and published on the school newspaper, it's worthy of trying.

【答案解析】[听力原文] M: Susan, I heard you've been having some problems registering for Professor Millar's writing class. W: Yes, the number of students enrolling for the class is far beyond the available class spots. M: I know Professor Millar's writing class has always been hot and often difficult to get into. I hope there is room for you. W: No way. The only way I can get in is to write a short sample story required for every student who wants to enroll in Millar's writing class. Then he will select the good ones out of those candidates. I am not that confident I'll be picked. But I would really love to take the class with Professor Millar. M: That's tough! Maybe you should sit down and write the story right away. W: I wish I could. But the story will take me hours to get done, and I am not sure if I even have an idea to write. Plus, I've been very busy studying for my biology test coming in four days. M: Yeah, the time is so tight. Then, I suppose you could try to submit a poem you've published before in the school newspaper. It will save you a lot of time and trouble. W: That might be worth a shot. But I worry that Professor Millar will reject the poem right after he receives it. M: I suppose that's just a risk you'll have to take.
