Task 3
Reading Passage:
The History of Cinema
Cinema has come a long way since its invention in the late 19th century. In its early years, films were silent, short, and often featured simple, static shots of everyday life. As technology improved and filmmakers honed their craft, movies became longer, more dynamic, and increasingly sophisticated in terms of special effects and storytelling techniques.
One major development in the history of cinema was the introduction of sound. The first "talkie," as it was called, was released in 1927 and marked a major turning point in the industry. Audiences were thrilled to hear their favorite stars speaking onscreen, and sound technology opened up new possibilities for music, dialogue, and sound effects.
Another important milestone was the transition from black-and-white to color film. The first color feature was released in 1935, and although it was initially more expensive and difficult to produce, color quickly became the norm. Today, filmmakers have access to a wide range of digital tools and technologies that allow them to create stunning visual effects and immerse audiences in vivid, lifelike worlds.
Despite all these changes, some things about cinema have remained constant. Movies continue to captivate audiences with their ability to tell stories, transport viewers to new worlds, and spark our imaginations. Whether we're watching a classic film from the golden age of Hollywood or a cutting-edge sci-fi epic, cinema has a unique power to entertain, inspire, and provoke thought.
Listening Passage:
Narrator: Listen to a conversation between a student and a professor.
Student: Hi, Professor Johnson. I read the passage you assigned about the history of cinema, and I found it really interesting. But I had a question about the part that talked about color films.
Professor: Sure, what's your question?
Student: Well, the passage made it sound like color films were an immediate success once they were introduced. But I remember hearing somewhere that some filmmakers resisted the switch to color for a while. Was that true?
Professor: Yes, you're right. Some filmmakers did resist the transition to color, at least at first. Part of the reason was that color films were initially more expensive and difficult to produce. But there were also artistic concerns. Some filmmakers felt that black-and-white films had a certain timeless quality that color films lacked. They also worried that color might be too distracting or garish, and that it would detract from the story and performances.
Student: That's really interesting. Do you think those concerns were justified?
Professor: Well, it's hard to say. I think there are certainly cases where color has been used poorly or overused. But overall, I think color has been a positive development for cinema. It allows filmmakers to create more realistic, immersive worlds, and it can also be used in creative ways to evoke mood and emotion.
The question:
What were some of the reasons that some filmmakers resisted the transition to color films, and how does the professor feel about the overall impact of color on cinema?
My Answer:
So according to the professor there are three reasons why filmmaker in the past resisted to the color invention at the first. the first reason is because the filmmakers worried about the expensive and so difficult of this color movement. and then the second reason regarding the artistic reason because they thought that the color film will make less quality than the black and white film. and then the third one the last one they thought that the color feeling me cool distracted for viewers. and then the professor said that the color invention outweight the disadvantages by the filmmakers can make more realistic film and then can immersive the world and also I can it can evoke the mood and emotion through the creativity by using the colors

Task 4
Reading Passage:
The Search for New Planets
Astronomers have long been fascinated by the possibility of discovering new planets beyond our own solar system. In recent years, technological advancements have made this dream a reality, with thousands of exoplanets, or planets outside our solar system, now confirmed. One of the latest discoveries is a planet called Kepler-452b, which is located approximately 1,400 light-years away from Earth. This planet is often referred to as an "Earth twin" because it is about the same size as Earth and orbits a star similar to our sun.
Kepler-452b was discovered using the Kepler telescope, which was launched by NASA in 2009. This telescope detects exoplanets by monitoring the brightness of stars and looking for changes that may indicate the presence of a planet. In the case of Kepler-452b, astronomers were able to determine that the planet is about five times the mass of Earth and takes about 385 days to complete one orbit around its star.
Although Kepler-452b is not the first Earth-like planet to be discovered, it is one of the most promising candidates for supporting life. The planet is located within its star's habitable zone, which is the range of distances from a star where liquid water could exist on the planet's surface. This makes Kepler-452b a prime target for future studies aimed at determining whether or not it has an atmosphere and whether or not it has the conditions necessary for life to exist.
Listening Passage:
Narrator: Listen to part of a talk in an astronomy class.
Professor: Now, let's turn our attention to the latest discovery of a planet outside our solar system. Kepler-452b, as it's called, was discovered by the Kepler telescope, which has been searching for exoplanets since 2009. This planet is particularly exciting because it's about the same size as Earth and orbits a star similar to our sun.
Student: Is there any chance that this planet could support life?
Professor: That's an excellent question. Although we can't be sure yet, Kepler-452b is located within its star's habitable zone, which is the range of distances from a star where liquid water could exist on the planet's surface. This is an important condition for life as we know it. Additionally, the planet's size and mass suggest that it could have a similar composition to Earth. Of course, there are many other factors that would need to be considered in order to determine whether or not Kepler-452b is truly habitable, but it's definitely a promising candidate.
The question:
Based on the reading and the conversation, what makes Kepler-452b a promising candidate for supporting life?
My Answer:
So according to the price order are two main reason why the k452b or Kepler 452b supposed to be most promising candidate for art living or Earth look like planet. the first one because the orbit range from the star is similar with Earth because my dad this time the liquid can exist which is really important for human being or for life being. and then the second one is about the composition and the size of the planet is really similar to our planet Earth that could be helpful to make life being happen on that planet. so there are those are the reason why the professor believe that Kepler 452 to be is the most promising candidate like Earth

Task 5
Reading Passage:
The library is an important resource for students on college campuses. However, many students find it difficult to access the library during its regular hours of operation. In response to this problem, many universities have explored the possibility of extending library hours.
Research has shown that longer library hours can have a positive impact on student success. Students who have access to the library during non-traditional hours are more likely to complete their assignments on time and earn higher grades. Additionally, extended library hours provide a safe and quiet place for students to study late at night, which can help to improve their academic performance.
Despite the potential benefits, some universities have been reluctant to extend library hours due to the cost involved. In order to maintain extended hours, universities would need to hire additional staff, pay for increased utilities and maintenance costs, and provide security for the extended hours. However, many universities have found that the benefits of extended library hours outweigh the costs, and have successfully implemented extended hours programs.
Listening Passage:
Student 1: Hey, have you heard about the proposal to extend library hours?
Student 2: No, what's that about?
Student 1: Well, apparently some students have been asking for the library to stay open later. I guess it's hard for them to find time to study during regular hours.
Student 2: Yeah, I can see that. I usually have to leave right when the library closes, and it's frustrating when I can't finish what I need to do.
Student 1: Exactly. And apparently, research has shown that longer library hours can actually help students do better in their classes.
Student 2: Really? How does that work?
Student 1: Well, students who have access to the library during non-traditional hours are more likely to complete their assignments on time and earn higher grades.
Student 2: Huh, that's interesting. But wouldn't it be expensive to keep the library open longer?
Student 1: That's what I thought too, but apparently some universities have been able to do it without too much trouble. They just had to hire a few more staff members and increase security during the extended hours.
The question:
Based on the conversation, which solution do you prefer for addressing the problem of limited library hours on campus? Explain your reasoning and provide specific examples.
My Answer:
According to the conversation between two students I couldn't see there are any other option than extending the hours of library. apparently some say that extending hours of Library can improve students academic because sometimes student enable to make it in time on the regular time or regular hours they need to extend and then do it the assignment late that needs well very proper place such as library. but in other hand the campus should provide more facility for doing that for example the another library and then another security that cost the campus more

=============Task 6
Reading Passage:
Woodwind and brass instruments are two of the most popular types of musical instruments used in Western classical music. Woodwinds include instruments such as the flute, clarinet, oboe, and bassoon, while brass instruments include the trumpet, trombone, and tuba. Both types of instruments produce sound through the vibration of air, but they do so in different ways.
Woodwind instruments work by blowing air across a reed or through a mouthpiece, which causes the air to vibrate and produce sound. The pitch of the sound can be changed by altering the length of the instrument, either by pressing keys or covering holes. Brass instruments, on the other hand, produce sound by buzzing the lips into a cup-shaped mouthpiece. The pitch can be changed by altering the length of tubing with valves or a slide.
Despite their differences, woodwind and brass instruments share many similarities. For example, both types of instruments require a lot of breath support from the player in order to produce a strong, clear sound. They also require a lot of practice to master, as playing with good tone and intonation can be challenging. Finally, both types of instruments are often used in orchestral and chamber music, and are essential to the sound of many famous classical works.
