　　1.Reading

　　Announcement from the President

　　The university has decided to increase tuition and fees for all students by approximately 8 percent next semester. For the past five years, the tuition and fees have remained the same, but it is necessary to increase them now for several reasons. The university has many more students than we had five years ago, and we must hire additional professors to teach these students, We have also made a new commitment to research and technology and will be renovating and upgrading our laboratory facilities to better meet our students’ needs.

　　2.Listening

　　Man: Great, now we have to come up with more money for next semester.

　　Woman: Yeah, I know, but I can see why. When I first started here, classes were so much smaller than they are now. With this many students, it's hard to get the personal attention you need.

　　Man: Yeah, I guess you're right. In some classes I can't even get a seat. And I couldn’t take the math course I wanted to because it was already full when I signed up.

　　Woman: And the other thing is, well, I am kind of worried about not being able to get a job after I graduate.

　　Man: Why? You're doing really well in your classes, aren't you?

　　Woman: I'm doing OK, but the facilities here are so limited. There are some great new experiments in microbiology that we can’t even do here. There isn't enough equipment in the laboratories, and the equipment they have is out of date. How am I going to compete for jobs with people who have practical research experience? I think the extra tuition will be a good investment.

　　3.Speaking

　　the woman expresses her opinion of the announcement made by the university president. State her opinion and explain the reasons she gives for holding that opinion.

　　Key points from reading

　　• University announce to increase tuitions

　　• Reason 1: more students/more professors

　　• Reason 2: renovate and upgrade lab facilities

　　key points from listening

　　• Agree

　　• Classes are overcrowded, so students cannot get personal attention.

　　• Lab facilities are limited right now, so she cannot get the practical lab experience she will need to complete for a job.

　　Sample Response 1

　　Her opinion is based, well she basically agrees. And then she says that it is good, because the classes are full. And they need more material and more teachers for students that cannot fit in the classes. And later on, she relates that to her concerned about the future, and about the lack of the facilities that campus has. And she is worried about being limited to her professional future, because she could have the practical experience at some other colleges can offer. So she says that maybe with the increase in the college tuition fee, they will have the opportunity to hold more practical experience than they used to. And that will solve her problem, so she agrees with the increase tuition fee, she gives an argument for that.

　　Sample Response 2

　　Her opinion is that it is good to increase in fees, because she can notice that many students have entered the university and then there is not enough space for everyone, and they need more features to different class. Also she is worried because in the university they didn’t have necessary equipment for some activities of microbiology, for that she is very worried that she will not find a job after graduate. I guess she thinks it is good tp increase in fees for the university.
