<interlocutor> OK, thank you. Now that we know each other, we can do some group work. First of all, I'd like to ask each of you to say something about university life. Now Miss ***, what would you think is the most interesting aspect of university life? </interlocutor>
<sp1> Er, from my aspect of view, erm I regard the most interesting aspect is mm the freedom. So I like freedom, and er before I enter university, I I was er in I always in always in home all the time, and I really have I al-always feel restrained, because my parents al-always want to mm have me in charge of the er er that's the foreign first point. Er secondly, erm I think university is a very good place to practice our all round ability through series courses we can er get we can acquire er many abilities such as communication regard this, we can er know we can learn lots of knowledge, no matter is academic knowledge but also social skills and sec and and thir-thirdly, I think the most the most interesting er of university life is mm er  I can justify what's right and what's wrong. That's very important. </sp1>
<interlocutor> OK. Now Miss ***, can you say something about student activities in your university? </interlocutor>
<sp2> Okay. Er I already introduce that I am a vice [Wv-w] president in student union, so maybe I'm fa-familiar with activities and I think er student union gave me a lot of er not not only activities [Mti] but also and I think er this such activities will mm will make the er er will make will will make the school life more versatile [Wi-e] and more colorful. So er student er when they when they are not studying, er they will take part in such activities and they will be promoted er the skills, not only in er academic er knowledge but also in er other er aspects. And I think er the most er important er figure of of this activities [Wti] of this activities will er have students to de- to develop themselves and develop the er capacity of com-communicating with others, make-making friends and the last I think the most important is they the activities will make the students know [Pw-n] that they are themselves, they are different from others and it is not nec- it is not er possible to er compare with others but they know they are themselves and they have their own advantages, not necessary to comparing with others. That's all. </sp2>
<interlocutor> Now Miss ***, have you been involved in student union activities? </interlocutor>
<sp3> Er, pardon? </sp3>
<interlocutor> Have you been involved in student union activities? </interlocutor>
<sp3> Er, sure </sp3>
<interrupted>
<interlocutor> Like Miss ***? </interlocutor>
</interrupted>
<sp3> Yes. E you see I am a fan of music. And in my spare time, I like playing piano and travel. And I am an entertainist, and I join our er university club in when I was er when I was the first er, when I was er er </sp3>
<interrupted>
<sp2> Freshman. </sp2>
</interrupted>
<sp3> Yes freshman. So erm so every Sunday afternoon, we took part in the club and enjoy ourselves very much. We play many music, mm mostly classical music. Er and still, I am very er I am very fond of mm psycho-psychologist er psychological [Mal], and er </sp3>
<interrupted>
<interlocutor> Psychology. <interlocutor>
</interrupted>
<sp3> Sorry, psychology. So I am also a member of our our university university psychologist club. Yes. And er </sp3>
<interlocutor> OK. Now, let's move on to something more specific. The topic for our discussion today is student activities. Er each of you will be given a card with the four small pictures show different activities. I'd like each of you give a brief description of each activity and then make some comments on it. You have one minute to prepare and each of you will have one and half minutes to give your presentation. Don't worry if I interrupt you when time is up. Now here are your cards. Here, Miss. Miss. </interlocutor>
<Interlocutor> Now Miss ***, would you please begin? And Miss *** and Miss ***, please put your cards aside and listen to what Miss *** has to say. </Interlocutor>
<sp2> OK. Should I er take up pick up the picture? Yes, I think mm many of the students er in universi- in university will er take part in such activities. The first is er market investigation, and many many student through this method to earn money. And I think this method is very [Wv-w] is very [Wv-w] hard and maybe er when you knock the door, er shops or family, they will refuse to er refuse open the door, so I think er if you your no have not er other other method to practice your skills, I think  you should better not er you better adopt this method. And family teaching I think, er I I I used to be family teaching teacher and I think it is a good way to earn money but not er a good way to practicing your skills, because many of the students in the family is very little maybe in senior junior school, and er it is not so er it is not a goo-good way to communicate with society [Wie-e], and to teach farmer some method, maybe it is useful for us students from agriculture university, because it is their major and they can practice their a-a-academic knowledge to teach someone, I think to to study and to teach to speak to speak out is two different things, so if you can teach some others, maybe er it is really that you really learn the knowledge er from er in university and oh, sorry. </sp2>
<Interlocutor> OK. Er Miss ***, it's your turn. </Interlocutor>
</sp1> Many many people say that the er campus life [Wf-s] life is very colorful. Er you know, er the student union will organize all kinds of activities, mm so do er so does in my university. My university had English corner every week in Wednesday night, we a lot of people enjoyed the English corner and came to the English corner, and communicate with the foreign friends, er no matter is small things or some profound. Erm we really enjoy it. And the second way is the weekend ball. Maybe in our school, they are major erm called sports er dance sports dancing. Er they dance very well erm maybe the student major in sports dancing can teach other students to dan- to how to how to dance mm  through the ball, they can make friends with others, er they can erm practice the social abilities, it is a very good way for them to get involved in the social activities. And second way is the club, and you see, the club is for er photo taking. Many people er many college students in university likes to take photos, they maybe use their free time their spare time to take photos er outdoors. It is an exhibition for the student to show their pictures and it is a good way for them to show their erm the abilities. OK. </sp1>
<Interlocutor> OK. Miss ***, now it's your turn. </Interlocutor>
<sp3> OK. The picture shows us that er there are many volunteer activities er in our society. And the first er picture shows us that er er there is surely somebody who is er birth with some affects. So they have many difficulties in daily life and so some students like us er trying to help them, er er to make their life more more convenient. So mm I think it's very really very good thing to do. And second erm er many many many students now university nowadays, es-especially those who study some technology, and they help people to repair their er their er their neige instrument such as TV sets and rasdio, er so it will save many people who are not very rich a lot of money. And and third is that er some year before there is er there er our city hold the er neige er the  er </sp3>
<interrupted>
<interlocutor> Universiade </interlocutor>
</interrupted>
<sp3> Yes, universiade. And I I happily to be a volunteer that year and I think it is very good to be a volunteer for it is not only er to to enrich your experience, but also can help a lot of people, especially foreigners. And fourth, and we can by by helping old people with their er with their housework, we can er we can make them much happier than before. </sp3>
<interlocutor> All right, now we all have some idea of the various kinds of student activities. I'd like you to discuss this topic further and see if you can agree on why is such activities are beneficial to our college students. During the discussion you may argue with each other or ask each other questions to clarify the point. You 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 to come to an agreement on why students can benefit from taking part in student activities. </interlocutor>
<sp2> Ah, let me begin. I want to say something, such as social practice, I think it is very [Wv-w] necessary for college students because they when maybe they graduate, they will jobs to work and so in in a college they will find some activities to practice their skills er in order to er be skillful to enter society, but I think now there is a problem that is many students in college is are maybe are so realistic, they er they they they just er learn something useful for them, but many many of many of them lack in responsibility because they will er just consider er consider about themselves but not others, so I think the volunteer activity is very [Wv-w] good, they can promote er our responsibility and obligation because we are the member of the so-society, we must get involved of ourselves, so that I can I think they can develop further, and that students er just concerned about themselves I didn't er maybe say er say something to them, but I think if you you are not harbor responsibility or obligation to the society, er even maybe you are rich or get a good job in the er few years, but I think they don't get a further development or career development in the future. </sp2>
<interrupted>
<interlocutor> I'm sorry, I have to interrupt you here. Now let's listen to what Miss *** has to say. </interlocutor>
</interrupted>
<sp3> I really agree with Miss ***. And I think that by helping others, is not only help just help others, but also help yourselves er because you from from from helping others, you will know what others need and you will give others er mm some warm warm thing and they feel they are very warm and er also yourself will be very happy, er </sp3>
<interrupted>
<interlocutor> OK. Miss ***. Could you say something about your opinion? </interlocutor>
</interrupted>
<sp1> Because I was once a member of the student union, so I have some experience in organizing the student union's work. So maybe student union is very hard work, so er but it can really practice yourself. Such as the debating the English debating in the pictures. Er maybe there will there are many debating in our university, er but I find it I find it I found a question, that is, the topic is so limited is limited in our major, is not universal, so I can er so I think it is not good for us to develop ourselves to enrich our knowledge, er, that's it. </sp1>
<interlocutor> Mm. that's the end of the discussion. Now I would like to ask you just one last question on the topic of student activities. OK Miss ***, er, do you think your parents would encourage you to take part in student activities? </interlocutor>
<sp3> Yes, surely they would, er. </sp3>
<interrupted>
<interlocutor> Why? </interlocutor>
</interrupted>
<sp3> Because when I was young, my mother send me to to learn pia sorry to learn violin when I was just five years old. She thinks that it it may help me to develop my own ability not only study but also mm many other things such as very sensitive things like that you can learn each people much easier and mm nowadays I I gain really svery much from from that kind of thing and it will it really gives me a lot of good. In my spare time, I I enjoy playing. And I can relax myself very much, reduce my tension from study and come my anxiety. </sp3>
<interlocutor> OK. That's the end of the test. Thank you everybody. </interlocutor>
<spall> Thank you. </spall>
