问答题Announcement from the School Art Department The school art department is planning to downsize the sculpture class from 30 students to 15. The change is made based on two reasons: firstly, small-scale classroom activities, a crucial part of art class activities, can only be done with no more than 20 students; if there are too many students, not every student can put his attention to the teacher's instruction. Also, printing art materials is costly because large amounts of ink will be needed. Thus, reducing the number of students can save some resources for further needs. Question: The woman expresses her opinion towards the school's decision to reduce the number of sculpture class students. State her opinion and explain the reasons she gives for holding that opinion.

The Establishing Shot Film directors use different types of camera shots for specific purposes. An establishing shot is an image shown briefly at the beginning of a scene, usually taken from far away, that is used to provide context for the rest of the scene. One purpose of the establishing shot is to communicate background information to the viewer, such as the setting—where and when the rest of the scene will occur. It also establishes the mood or feeling of the scene. Due to the context that the establishing shot provides, the characters and events that are shown next are better understood by the viewer.

问答题 COHORTS Social scientists use the term "cohort" to describe a group of individuals who were born around the same time, usually within a span of five to ten years. Members of the same cohort move through history together. They share certain historical and cultural influences because they experience major events at the same age. The life experiences of one cohort will be different from those of another, even a cohort that is just a few years older or younger. This is because the timing of historical events interacts with developmental issues, producing unique patterns of influence for each cohort. Now cover the passage and listen to the recording. When you hear the question, begin preparing your response. Explain the concept of cohort and how the examples given by the professor illustrate the concept.
