问题     You will now listen to a conversation. You will then be asked a question about it. After you hear the question, you will have 20 seconds to prepare your response and 60 seconds to speak.
Question: Briefly summarize the man’s problem. Then state which solution you would recommend. Explain the reasons for your recommendation.
M: Hi, Ivy. I feel like this is the end of the world.
W: Because of the rainy weather?
M: No, I actually like rainy days.
W: So what is the problem then?
M: It’s the class I have.
W: What’s wrong?
M: Tomorrow I am supposed to finish an assignment for my theater acting class by giving a performance with another student.
W: I don’t see anything wrong here.
M: Well, my partner just dropped this class. And I can’t do the acting without him. I don’t know what I should do about this performance.
W: Oh, I am really sorry to hear about that. Do you have any back-up plans?
M: I can find a new scene that only has one role and prepare a speech or monolog.
W: That is smart. But I guess, you will have to memorize new lines, which will take a lot of time.
And you prepared for the former role for such a long time. It would be a shame to give that up.
M: I am good at memorizing lines, so that wouldn’t be a problem.
W: You know what? Maybe Betty could be your partner. Though she is a terrible actress.
M: I am afraid she may ruin my performance.
W: Yeah, that’s possible.

答案 The male student has a problem that he needs to act in a play for his assignment, but his partner just dropped the class. The man cannot give the performance without his partner, so he doesn’t know what to do.
There are two solutions: the first is to find a new play that only has one role, so he can perform by himself. The other is to find another student to play his partner’s role.
Personally speaking, I prefer the first solution for two reasons. First, he’s good at memorizing. So to find a new script and practice several times before the show should not be too difficult for him.
Secondly, the other student Betty is not good at performing and there isn’t enough time to practice. Without good preparation and rehearsal, no one can perform well during the show. Betty may ruin the performance, and his grade for the assignment will be affected..

解析     Task 5的重点是学生遇到的困难跟解决的途径。这道题是如何解决男生没有搭档完成表演的问题。重点在于如何fix the problem,原因不是重点。开头段可简单介绍原因,“The male student has a problem that he needs to act in a play for his assignment,but his partner just dropped the class.”而且,“The man cannot give the performance without his partner,so he doesn’t know what to do.”
