Task 2
Reading Passage:
Evening Computer Classes May Be Added
The computer department is currently considering the addition of evening classes for the fall semester. This proposal is in response to student complaints about the growing overcrowding of daytime computer classes and the lack of available computers. After careful consideration, the department has concluded that the most cost-effective solution to address this issue is to introduce computer classes in the evening. The primary objective of this change is to reduce the number of students enrolled in day classes, ensuring that every student in computer classes has individual access to computers. This change is anticipated to alleviate the problem and provide a suitable resolution.
Listening Passage:
Narrator:
Now listen to two students discussing the article.
Male student:
I just don't think this will work.
Female student:
Why not?
Male student:
Because it's not gonna solve the problem. Students are busy at night... I mean, we have jobs, families, clubs, social events. Most of us already have something to do every single night of the week.
Female student:
I see your point. I sure couldn't fit anything into my schedule during the week—I've got swimming practice most nights.
Male student:
Right. And as far as expense goes, I think they're going about it the wrong way. I mean, it costs money to hire more teachers and keep the academic building open later, which is a lot more expensive than just simply buying more computers.
Female student:
More computers?
Male student:
That's right. Computer prices have come way down in the past few years, so the department won't have to spend as much now as they did in the past. Besides, the computer department classrooms, you know, the rooms themselves, they're actually very big... there's plenty of space to add more computers.
Narrator:
The man expresses his opinion about the proposal described in the article. Briefly summarize the proposal. Then state his opinion about the proposal and explain the reasons he gives for holding that opinion.

Task 3
Reading Passage:
Verbal and Nonverbal Communication
When we engage in face-to-face communication with others, our nonverbal signals play a crucial role. These signals include facial expressions, hand gestures, body movements, and tone of voice, and often convey as much, if not more, meaning than the actual words we speak. It is worth noting that our nonverbal signals are frequently emitted unconsciously. When our nonverbal cues align with our verbal message, they reinforce and enhance the intended meaning, making our communication more persuasive. However, when there is a disconnect between our nonverbal signals and our verbal message, we inadvertently convey a different and possibly more accurate message than what we originally intended.
Listening Passage:
Narrator
Now, let's listen to a part of a lecture from a psychology course that discusses the relationship between verbal and nonverbal communication.
Professor
A while ago, my favorite uncle paid me an unexpected visit after many years of not seeing him. When I opened the door and saw Uncle Pete, I was genuinely surprised and exclaimed, "Uncle Pete! What a surprise! How nice to see you!" Interestingly, although I wasn't fully aware of it at the time, my wife observed that my eyes widened, and I broke into a big, joyful smile. In fact, I was so excited that I even started jumping up and down, just like a little boy. Later that evening, Uncle Pete expressed how good it made him feel to see my happiness upon meeting him.
Now, let's contrast that with another situation involving my six-year-old daughter. We were working together on building a birdhouse last week, and I was demonstrating how to use a hammer and nail. Unfortunately, I made a mistake and accidentally smashed my thumb with the hammer. It was incredibly painful, and I wanted to scream, but I didn't want to upset my daughter. Instead, I reassured her, saying, "Don't worry, honey. It's nothing." However, my actions spoke louder than my words. I couldn't help shaking my injured hand in an attempt to alleviate the pain, and my facial expression clearly displayed my agony. Even my voice trembled as I spoke. Despite my attempts to convince my daughter that I was okay, she continued to ask me if I was alright.
Narrator
In this lecture, the professor provides two examples that illustrate the relationship between verbal and nonverbal communication.
The question:
Explain how the examples from the professor’s lecture illustrate the relationship between verbal and nonverbal communication.
My Answer:
So the reading message is discussing about for about an order for communication in order how effective those things into our communication nonverbal in this case is about first expression gesture body movement and then tune of our voice. and Professor give two examples that really contrary each other, that his uncle seeing him he felt really happy and later the uncle talked to him that it's really flattering seeing him happy. Another story it's about when he play with his daughter that his daughter saying he got painful because of hammer smash his finger and he tried to not so expressive about the pain, but actually the daughter knew that the professor really in pain. so from those examples it can be infer that if we express differently with our verbal some people might be misunderstanding or just follow our nonverbal instead of verbal communication

Task 4
Listening Passage:
The effective communication of art, whether it aims to evoke emotions or stimulate intellectual engagement, relies on the skillful combination of various visual elements that convey meaning or emotion. The visual components of a work, such as color, texture, shape, and lines, work in harmony to provide insights into the artwork. Artists manipulate these visual elements to express messages or establish certain moods.
Consider the use of color by a painter, for instance. It is widely understood that different colors have distinct effects on our senses and can convey different meanings. Artists intentionally select specific colors to evoke particular moods and make powerful statements. For example, the color red, being strong and vibrant, can evoke intense emotions like extreme joy, excitement, or even anger. On the other hand, blue is often considered a cool color that tends to have a calming effect on viewers.
Texture is another essential visual element in art. By texture, we refer to the surface quality or "feel" of the artwork, encompassing attributes like smoothness, roughness, or softness. In some art forms, the texture is physical and can be physically touched by fingers. However, in painting, for instance, texture can be conveyed visually. The way an artist applies paint to certain areas of a painting can create the illusion of texture, representing an object's smoothness, roughness, or softness. A rough texture has the ability to evoke stronger emotions and convey strength, while a smooth texture tends to be more calming and less emotionally charged.
As mentioned earlier, artists often combine multiple visual elements to convey a message through their artwork. Let's consider a painting that incorporates vibrant colors like reds and oranges, along with broad brushstrokes that suggest a rough texture. Together, these elements can evoke a sense of wildness and chaos in the viewer. In contrast, a painting that utilizes small, smooth brushstrokes and soft or pale colors would elicit a more tranquil and subdued response. Artists rely on these visual effects and the sensory experiences they arouse to imbue their work with meaning.
The question:
Using points and examples from the lecture, explain the importance of visual
elements in painting.
My Answer:
According to the lecture effective communication art is really meaningful it contain multiple visual medium such as color, line, texture, or picture it can convey mood of from the artist. as we know the example of this regarding the color specific color can convey specific particular moods such as red will convey some extremes like anger and also blue can seen as calm color. the second example is about the texture about the artwork search painting or something the professor gives some example when it rough enough it could be emotion gift by the artist and it it smoother it is less emotion than the other one
