PART IV. Short Talks
Questions 1 through 3 refer to the following talk.
(W) I'm not really a good student. I don't often get high grades. I don’t usually like studying in school, but there are a couple of subjects I enjoy. My two favorite subjects in school are chemistry and art. I like chemistry because it uses the logical part of my brain. I can work for hours trying to find the answer to a complex chemistry problem. You might be thinking that sounds like math. But it is more interesting than mathematics because then I can go to the chemistry lab and do experiments. It is exciting to see what happens when I do an experiment. On the other hand, I like art because I can be creative. I can express my feelings with a paintbrush. Both art and chemistry let me express different parts of myself.
Questions 4 through 6 refer to the following talk.
(M) My exams today were so difficult. I had three exams. In the morning, I had a French exam. French is really difficult for me, especially French spelling. I can never remember ifI need an extra "e" at the end of words and that kind of thing. Then, after lunch I had a history exam. I couldn't remember any of the dates that I studied before the exam. History is the most difficult subject because I find it boring. Finally, in the afternoon I had a math exam. It was difficult, but math is my favorite subject, so I think I did pretty well on the exam. I'm good at math and I usually get high grades, so I'm sure I’ll get a good score. Last semester, I got the best grade in my class. |
