VI. Further Listening and Speaking Listening Task:
Task1: Problems with our educational system Script:
Hi, everybody. My topic today is \
I disagree on a lot of the ways that things have happened for a long time in our educational system.
It seems that educators just want to give standardized tests,
which focus only on academic performance and neglect students' abilities and

interest in other areas.
I think there are a lot of people who are very intelligent,
but haven't had the opportunities they could have had if they had learned in a broader-minded educational system.
I feel that a lot of courses that students are required to take in high school are too academic, and, as a result,
many kids have lost their interest in learning.Educators often fail to recognize various kinds of intelligence.
They simply exert a lot of pressure on students to be as well-rounded as possible.
I think being well-rounded isn't really possible.
And as a consequence, some students I believe to be intelligent can't get into good colleges if they,
you know, haven't scored well on the math section, even if they are brilliant writers.
Another thing that disturbs me is that the so-called weak students are separated from the rest of the school.
Some kids are kept in a separate class if their grades are lower than others'. And they're very aware of their social position, you know. I think it causes them to act in a way that is not really positive.
They're just acting in a way they are expected. Often their grades go from bad to worse. And that's pretty sad.
I think that many of the kids in those classes are intelligent,
but they never actually realize their potential because of the way they are treated early on in their education. Keys:
(1)standardized tests (2)abilities and interest (3)interest (4)pressure (5)well-rounded
(6)get into good colleges (7)the rest of the school (8)from bad to worse Task 2: The final exam Script
At a university, there were four sophomores taking a chemistry course.
They were doing so well on all the quizzes, midterms, labs, etc. that each had
