【学生写信】

extend course-withdrawal period

学生写信建议学校延长退课withdraw class的时间，from 1 week to 3 weeks.

理由1、学生不知道能不能跟上这门课；

理由2、学生不知道喜不喜欢这门课。 【学生态度】：女生表示赞同。

理由1、新生too ambitious, 通常以为大学课程和以前学的课程一样简单，所以会选很多课，但其实大学课程任务很重，等他们发现无法完成课程作业时已经晚了。延长退课时间，可以让他们更好地考虑。

理由2、很多课在一开始，教授都只是讲背景，不涉及实质内容。应该让新生多听几节课，来决定老师的风格是否适合自己 (like the professor's style)、自己是否有能力学、以及自己是否对这门课感兴趣。

Question：Explain the woman’s opinion and why she holds that opinion.

Then she went into the store, the seller introduced another more expensive one for her, saying that this one was technically advanced, presented clear, and light to take. Finally, the woman chose the high-priced laptop.

Question：用听力的例子来解释对这个概念的理解。

Question 5 【学生困难】：女生要举办一个摄影展，总共有50张照片，但是展厅没有那么大。

【解决方案】：

女生说出方案1、从50张照片中挑选出20张展出，这样可以保证摄影展的质量，但男生担心没被选上的同学会upset。

男生说出方案2、换到administrative building展出全部照片。但女生说那里平时很少有学生去，怕到时候来看摄影展的人少。

Question 6 【讲课要点】：interspecies communication, 讲的是不同的species之间可以communicate and help each other.

honey guide and honey badger可以通过这种途径互相帮助，它们都需要bee nest, 但是吃的东西不一样。honey guide因为飞的远视野开阔，发现nest的时候，sing song to let the badger know, then the badger make specific sound to respond it, and find the nest。badger能发出一种smell, which bees can not withstand, so the bees fly away, then both the honey guide and honey badger can get what they want.
