Task 4


Reading Passage:


Global warming is a major environmental issue that has gained increasing attention in recent years. One of the most significant consequences of global warming is the melting of polar ice caps, which is caused by the increase in temperature of the Earth's atmosphere. The melting of polar ice caps has a number of consequences, including rising sea levels, changes in ocean currents, and the loss of habitats for polar animals such as polar bears and penguins. In addition, the melting of polar ice caps is also affecting the planet's climate, as it is altering the reflectivity of the Earth's surface, leading to further warming.

Listening Passage:


Professor: Today we're going to talk about the effects of global warming on the polar ice caps. As we know, the melting of the ice caps is one of the most serious consequences of global warming. The melting of the ice caps has caused rising sea levels, which in turn has led to flooding in coastal areas. In addition, the melting of the ice caps has changed ocean currents, which has had an impact on the climate. Can anyone give me an example of how the melting of the ice caps is affecting the climate?

Student 1: I read that the melting of the ice caps is causing the oceans to become less salty, which is changing the density of seawater and affecting ocean currents.

Professor: That's correct. The melting of the ice caps is reducing the amount of salt in the oceans, which is making the water less dense and affecting the circulation of ocean currents. Can anyone tell me how the melting of the ice caps is affecting polar animals?

Student 2: The loss of habitats for polar animals such as polar bears and penguins is one of the main consequences of the melting of the ice caps.

Professor: Yes, that's right. The melting of the ice caps is causing the loss of habitats for polar animals, which is having a significant impact on their populations.

The question:


Summarize the effects of global warming on the polar ice caps and explain how they are impacting the environment. Be sure to include information from both the reading passage and the listening/lecture.

My Answer:

Task 5


Reading Passage:


Overcrowding in student dormitories has become a major issue on college campuses across the country. Many universities are struggling to find ways to accommodate the growing number of students without compromising on living standards. With limited resources and space, universities are faced with the challenge of finding a sustainable solution that benefits both students and the institution.

Listening Passage:


Student 1: I can't believe how crowded our dorm is this year. I feel like we're all packed in here like sardines!

Student 2: I know, it's crazy! I heard the university is considering building new dorms to accommodate more students.

Student 1: That would be great, but where would they put them? There's not a lot of free space on campus.

Student 2: Well, they could limit the number of students allowed in each dorm. That way, everyone would have more space and the university wouldn't have to spend as much money on building new dorms.

Student 1: Hmm, that's an interesting idea. But what if they just offered incentives for students to live off-campus? That would reduce the number of students in each dorm without having to build new ones.

Student 2: I don't know, I feel like most students prefer to live on-campus for convenience and social reasons. Plus, not everyone can afford to live off-campus.

Student 1: Yeah, that's a good point. Maybe the university should do both: limit the number of students in each dorm

The question:


Based on the conversation you just heard, which solution do you prefer to address the issue of overcrowding in student dormitories: building new dorms, limiting the number of students allowed in each dorm, or offering incentives for students to live off-campus? Explain your choice and provide reasons to support your answer.

My Answer:

Regarding the issue about the full of dormitory for students on campus. I would prefer the solution is building new dormitories for students. I do believe that the solution must be sustainable not for the shorter but for a long term. and then also I agree with the students that discuss on the listening passage that every student's much prefer to live on dormitory is because the community and it's affordable for them. but how if the campus not have more land to build the dormitories? it is easy, it's not have to be inside the campus for example maybe three or five miles away from the campus it's still good for students because the students can still be commuted and then they can study together even if it has a distant from the campus

Task 6


Reading Passage:


The Life Cycle of Stars

Stars are one of the most fascinating objects in the universe. They are born from clouds of gas and dust, and they go through a series of changes during their life cycle. The life cycle of a star depends on its mass. The more massive a star is, the faster it evolves and the shorter its life span.

Stars begin their life as protostars, which are formed when the gas and dust in a nebula start to come together due to gravity. When the temperature at the core of the protostar reaches about 15 million degrees Celsius, nuclear fusion begins and a star is born.

The main sequence is the longest stage in a star's life, during which it fuses hydrogen into helium in its core. This process releases a tremendous amount of energy in the form of light and heat. The amount of energy a star produces is determined by its mass; more massive stars produce more energy.

After the main sequence, the life cycle of a star depends on its mass. Stars like the Sun become red giants and then white dwarfs. More massive stars become red supergiants and then explode as supernovae. Some of the material from the explosion is scattered into space, while the rest collapses to form a neutron star or a black hole.

Listening Passage:


Lecturer: Today we're going to talk about the life cycle of stars. Stars are born from clouds of gas and dust, and they go through a series of changes during their life cycle. The life cycle of a star depends on its mass. The more massive a star is, the faster it evolves and the shorter its life span.


Student 1: Can you tell us more about how stars are born?


Lecturer: Sure. Stars begin their life as protostars, which are formed when the gas and dust in a nebula start to come together due to gravity. When the temperature at the core of the protostar reaches about 15 million degrees Celsius, nuclear fusion begins and a star is born.


Student 2: What happens after the star is born?


Lecturer: The main sequence is the longest stage in a star's life, during which it fuses hydrogen into helium in its core. This process releases a tremendous amount of energy in the form of light and heat. The amount of energy a star produces is determined by its mass; more massive stars produce more energy.


Student 3: What happens after the main sequence?


Lecturer: After the main sequence, the life cycle of a star depends on its mass. Stars like the Sun become red giants and then white dwarfs. More massive stars become red supergiants and then explode as supernovae. Some of the material from the explosion is scattered into space, while the rest collapses to form a neutron star or a black hole.

The question:


Based on the lecture, what are the different stages in the life cycle of a star and how does it affect its size and temperature?

My Answer:

According to the passage and the conversation between professor and students the life cycle of stars is a series of change. it starts with protostars with nebula and integrator do the gravity it cost 15 million degrees of Celsius and it make nuclear fusion after that the new Star is born. after that I was born the main sequence is happening which is the core from Helium and hydrogen and then it has massive energy and very huge mass and then after that it depends on how the mess of the stars for example if it's so huge it can be explode and scattered all over the Galaxy and even it can be produced the neutron star or the black hole

ChatGPT Asessment:

Overall, your response provides some relevant information about the life cycle of stars, but there are some language use and topic development issues that affect the clarity and accuracy of your answer.

General Description: 3/4
Your response adequately addresses the main topic of the lecture, but there are some inaccuracies and omissions.

Delivery: 3/4
Your delivery is generally clear and comprehensible, but there are some grammatical errors and awkward phrasing that could be improved.

Language Use: 2/4
There are several grammatical errors, incomplete sentences, and awkward phrasings that make your response somewhat difficult to follow. Additionally, some key terms are used incorrectly or imprecisely, such as "integrator" instead of "due to gravity" and "mess" instead of "mass."

Topic Development: 2/4
Your response includes some relevant information about the life cycle of stars, but it lacks coherence and organization. Some key details are missing or inaccurate, such as the description of the main sequence as producing a "very huge mass," which is not accurate. Additionally, there is no clear explanation of how the life cycle of a star affects its size and temperature, which was a key part of the question.

Total Score: 10/16
Overall, your response demonstrates some understanding of the topic but could benefit from more precise and accurate language use, clearer organization and development of ideas, and more attention to the details of the lecture and question.
