Task 3


Reading Passage:


Title: Proposed Change in the Course Requirements


Recently, there has been a proposal put forth by the faculty committee to alter the course requirements for undergraduate students. The proposed change suggests increasing the number of elective courses students must take in order to graduate. This change aims to provide students with greater flexibility in choosing courses that align with their academic interests and career goals. However, some students and faculty members have raised concerns about the potential drawbacks of this change. They argue that a more structured curriculum ensures a well-rounded education and helps students develop a broader knowledge base. The proposal has sparked a heated debate on campus, with opinions divided on the best approach to course requirements.

Listening Passage:


Student: Hey, have you heard about the proposed change in the course requirements?



Professor: Yes, I have. It seems like they want to increase the number of elective courses students have to take.



Student: Exactly! But I'm not sure if that's a good idea. I mean, having more flexibility is nice, but I think a structured curriculum has its benefits too.



Professor: I understand your concern. Some argue that a structured curriculum ensures a well-rounded education and helps students develop a broader knowledge base. On the other hand, proponents of the change believe that more electives allow students to explore their interests and tailor their education to their career goals.



Student: That's true, but I worry that students might miss out on important foundational courses if they have too many electives.



Professor: It's a valid point. The debate surrounding this proposal is quite contentious, with valid arguments on both sides. Ultimately, it will come down to finding the right balance between flexibility and core knowledge.

The question:


The woman expresses her opinion about a proposed change in the course requirements. Summarize the change and state the woman's opinion. Then, explain the reasons she provides to support her opinion.

My Answer:

Based on the passage above that the campus tried to make a new policy that undergrad student should take more elective class instead of based on the curriculum.  some people agree with that and some people do not. and for the students on their conversation, she's not agree with the policy because she believed that students should take more curriculum base classes because it's the foundation of their major and it's good for students the elective only for supporting system

Task 4


Reading Passage:


Title: "The Power of Peer Pressure"


Peer pressure is a well-known phenomenon that affects individuals across various age groups. Recent studies have shed light on the mechanisms behind this social influence. In a study conducted by Dr. Johnson and her team, a group of teenagers was observed in different scenarios to examine the impact of peer pressure on decision-making. The results indicated that adolescents were more likely to engage in risky behaviors when influenced by their peers. Furthermore, brain imaging scans revealed increased activity in the areas associated with social reward when participants complied with the group's choices. These findings emphasize the powerful role of peer pressure in shaping behavior, particularly during adolescence.

Listening Passage:


Lecturer: Today, we will be discussing the concept of peer pressure and its influence on decision-making. Recent studies conducted by Dr. Johnson and her team provide valuable insights into this phenomenon. In one study, a group of teenagers was observed in various scenarios to examine how they responded to peer influence. The results were fascinating. When the participants were faced with risky behaviors, such as trying drugs or engaging in dangerous activities, they were more likely to comply if their peers were doing the same. Brain imaging scans also revealed interesting patterns. When the participants conformed to the group's choices, there was increased activity in the brain regions associated with social reward. This suggests that peer pressure can activate the brain's pleasure centers, making conformity more appealing. These findings highlight the significant impact of peer pressure on decision-making processes, particularly during adolescence.
