<interlocutor> Thank you, Miss ***. </interlocutor>
<sp3> Well, er... I am. My major is International Trades. And in my spare time, I enjoy talking with my friends. Because I think everybody will bring me something differents or something I do not know before. So I think it's a very efficient way to broaden my horizon and enrich my language. Er besides this, I also like to do some physical exercises [S3], just like long-distant running. I think just this kind of physical exercise [S3] that teach me what's [Wa-e] the "perseverance" is. And this I think is a very er... useful property when you face those difficulties in life and study. </sp3>
<interlocutor> Ok, thank you. Er... now that we know each other, we can do some group work. First of all, I'd like to ask each of you one question. Mr ***, do you think daily exercises are important to your health? </interlocutor>
<sp1> Yes. Er I think it's very er... important. Er... </sp1>
<interlocutor> Why? </interlocutor>
<sp1> Because [Wau-o:] er... daily er... exercises daily activities is very, er... can make me healthy. Mm... the ba-... the health, the health is the bases of everything. Er... if [Wf-v] you, mm... if [Wf-v] you are not healthy, you may not [Wn-l], er... you can't do well in your study. Er... mm... </sp1>
<interlocutor> Ok, Miss ***, do you think going on a diet is good for one's health? </interlocutor>
<sp2> mm... in my opinion [W2n-ng], I think it's not a good way [Ww-v]. mm... when you go on, er go on a diet [Me], er... many people want to mm lose their weight. But [Pt-er] I think, er... doing exercise to lose your weight is a good idea. It's better than er go on, going on a diet. Mm... when you do this, er... you may, you may, it's er... it's bad for your health. Er and I think many people that go on a diet [We-r] are too er... are they are er, in fact they are not very health, healthy. </sp2>
<interlocutor> Ok, Miss *** </interlocutor>
<sp3> Mm? </sp3>
<interlocutor> Do you think fast food is good for one's health? </interlocutor>
<sp3> No. I don't think so. </sp3>
<interlocutor> Why? </interlocutor>
<sp3> Well, you know fast food is, is just because you need to eat very quickly and you have no, you don't have enough time er... on eating food. So you just choose fast food. However, those food are just made of, just as beef and some chickens and er many scientists has told us, have told us that er this food have very high calorie and very few nutritions in them so I think mm this is not a good way to to to get more nutrition. </sp3>
<interlocutor> Good, thank you. Now let's move on to something more specific. The topic for our discussion today is staying healthy. Each of you will be given a card with four different pictures showing an important aspect that we should consider in order to stay healthy. I'd like you to describe the pictures and comment on them. You have one minute to prepare and each of you will have one and a half minutes to give your presentation. Don't worry if I interrupt you when time is up. Here are your pictures. </interlocutor>
<interlocutor> Now, Miss ***, would you please begin first? </interlocutor>
<sp3> Ok.. </sp3>
<interlocutor> And Miss *** and Mr *** can you please put down your picture and say, and listen to what Miss *** has to say here. </interlocutor>
<sp3> Ok. In my card there are four pictures. Er... They are concerning some jogging, Taijiquan, Aerobics and swimming. These [W1e-i] are four [Pr-m], four kinds of mm... physical exercises [S3]. And usually different people, I mean, the those people in different age, will choose different kind. Em... for those young people they will choose aerobics because it's very active. Er... for those middle aged people, they will choose jogging because they don't have enough time to do er... too much physical exercises [S3]. And for those old man, they will choose Taijiquan because it's very soft. And for those who love sports they will choose swimming. Because you know, er... in swimming you can play. Em... and I think adequate physical exercise for different mm kind of person is very en... useful and efficient. Because just as Mr. *** just said, em... body, I mean strong bodies, the bases. And without a strong body you can't do many things well. For example, if you are a worker [Wor-o:], you don't have enough er power to do your work. If you are students or intellectual, you do not have enough, how to say, em... you do not have e... e... enough energy to continue your intellectual work. </sp3>
<interlocutor> Ok, thank you. </interlocutor>
<sp3> Thank you. </sp3>
<interlocutor> Miss ***. </interlocutor>
<sp2> Ok. Er in these [Wth-n] four pictures, mm it tells us mm different people like different food. And e... the first er the people choose fish and meat and snack food to eat every day. And then [Wth-n], some, mm... nowadays many children like to Macdonald because they eat, they like eat sw... sweet [Ww-v] sweet [Ww-v] food. Er but many parents wants know children to eat more fruits and vegetables [Ws-s]. They think they are more good for, more better. And er... er. Also many children and people like [Wl-n] to eat mm... fruits, such as apple and bananas [Wn-l]. Mm... in my opinion, er... eat too many mm... fish and meat er is not very good, because er too, the more you eat, the, the mm... the worse for your health. And er... if you eat er too many vegetables and fruits, er... you can found your body is is becoming er...stronger. That's a good way [Ww-v] [Wa-i:] to keep healthy. </sp2> 
<interlocutor> Ok. Thank you. And Mr. ***. </interlocutor>
<sp1>These pictures shows me er... four kind of [Wf-f] bad habit. Mm... one is smoking. Mm... er... the second is er eating eating sick food. Er the third one is er... sleep so late and get up... er... I am sorry. This is four pictures shows me er some good [Woo-u:] er... living habits. Mm....the first is not [Wn-l] smoking.er... the other is, the second one is... the picture show me some er living habits. The first is er... not [Wn-l] smoking. The other is, the second is eat so much sweet food. The second one is get up, is sleep late sleep early and get up early. Mm... the the last one is... mm... </sp1>
<interrupted>
<interlocutor> Do you understand the last picture? </interlocutor>
</interrupted>
<sp1> The last one is mm... a person playing, en... playing the PC games. </sp1>
<interlocutor> Hm. Ok. Thank you. Er... er now we all have some idea of the various aspects we should consider to stay healthy. I'd like you to discuss this topic further and see if you can agree on which aspect is most important factor for university students to stay healthy? During the discussion you may argue with each other or ask each other questions to clarify your point. You will have about four and a half minutes for the discussion. Your performance will be judged according to your contribution to the discussion. Remember during the discussion you should try your best to come to an agreement on which aspect is most important for university students to stay healthy? Begin. </interlocutor>
<spall> Ok. </spall>
<sp2> mm... er in my opinion, er doing exercises is the best method to keep healthy. Er... if you mm if you doing exercise regularly, you can find er the effect is very, is very apparent. And mm your your body is healthier, become healthier. </sp2>
<sp3> Yes, I agree with you. Mm but do you er I think the best way for the university [S1] students to mm stay healthy, I think that is, playing the basketball or football. Because I think er in in such kind of exercises [S3], you can both improve your body skill, and also improve your skill in cooperate with the others. I think that will be very good for our university students. </sp3>
<sp2> Yes, I agree with you. </sp2>
<sp3> Yes, because I think in the future, erm what's this society needs ?-for us is not only our er... men mental contribution but also our erm physical contri- contribution. I think we need to train ourselves in these [We-i] two aspects. </sp3>
<sp1> Yes, I think, I agree with, I can't agree with you more. Er but I think mm... good health, good living habits is also very important for our university [Wer-e] students. Er if you have a good habits, good good living habits, it can make [Pk-er] you mm... energetic [Wn-l] er in your study. You may gain high scores in our examinations. </sp1>
<sp3> So I think maybe a good living habit is the basic one, basic step. </sp3>
<sp2> Ah, yes. Er... I want to ask you a question. Er... do you er... what time are you er what time do you get up every even morning? </sp2>
<sp1> I... often get up at some at some at six o'clock. </sp1>
<sp2> then er... what are you doing then? </sp2>
<sp1> er I often er reading English in the morning [Wn-l] and do some exercise such as em... such as er... jogging, jogging mm... and playing basketball. </sp1>
<sp2> every ???? you doing exercises? </sp2>
<sp1> mm... Yes. </sp1>
<sp3> Well, do you like to have a healthy diet? I mean if you have a healthy diet you will get sufficient nutrition of different kinds of, such as vitamins or something else. </sp3>
<sp2> Of course. Mm... I I I also have, I usually have er fruit. And I eat many vegetables for lunch or for supper. </sp2>
<sp3> Well. But I think maybe because we are in university and some universities are not, do not do well in the dinning hall, I mean they just supply very er limited kind of dishes. So I think maybe we cannot get enough nutrition from them. So I, so sometimes I think we need to er... buy some fruits or something else to er to made er made up our diets, healthy diets. </sp3>
<interlocutor> Ok, that's the end of the discussion. Thank you. And now I'd like to ask each of you just one last question on the topic of staying healthy. Mr. ***, er what do you think university authorities can do to improve the health of the students? </interlocutor>
<sp1> Er I beg your pardon. </sp1>
<interlocutor> What do you think university authorities, the head of the university can do to improve the health of our students? </interlocutor>
<sp1> mm... I think... I am sorry. </sp1>
<interlocutor> mn... and Miss ***? </interlocutor>
<sp2> hm. </sp2>
<interlocutor> Do you think people nowadays are more concerned about their health? </interlocutor>
<sp2> ... mm... Yes. Mm... as Mr. *** says, er... a healthy body is the, very important for every everybody. If you have healthy body, you can do many things and you have many chances to do what you want to do. Er... and mm... </sp2>
<interlocutor>Ok, thank you. And Miss ***, er do you think that too much pressure is harmful to our health? </interlocutor>
<sp3> Yes, of course. Mm... with too much pressure you will always get worried about what, what you should do. Em that will disturb your, disturb your men mentality. So I think mm... doing more physical exercise's [S3] a good way and an efficient way to er... reduce the pressure. </sp3>
<interlocutor> Ok. Thank you very much. That's all for the test. </interlocutor>
<spall> Ok. Thank you. </spall>
