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: The speakers discuss two possible solutions to the woman’s problem. Describe the problem and the two solutions. Then explain what you think the woman should do and why.
W: Perry, what should I do?!
M: I heard you’re going to Hawaii tomorrow. Is there anything wrong?
W: It’s about my bird. I’ll be gone for a week and she needs to be fed and given water.
M: I know your friend Mark. He is a nice guy and he will stay here and work, right? You can let him take care of the bird for you. That shouldn’t be too much trouble.
W: That’s exactly the point: I tried, but right now is the busiest time of the year for him. I don’t think I can ask him for help at this moment.
M: Oh, I see. But isn’t there a pet shop right near your house? Don’t they let pets stay there when the owner is away?
W: They do, but that costs more money than I want to spend. This trip to Hawaii is really expensive. So I’m really between a rock and a hard place here. I can’t decide what to do.

答案 The student’s problem is that she is going on vacation for a week, but her pet bird is left home with no one feeding it. So she has no idea what to do.
There are two solutions. She can either ask her friend to feed the bird or send her bird to the pets’ nursery for a week.
I believe the woman should take the second solution. First, her friend is too busy to take care of the pet. And the woman should not ask for more than her friend can do. True, looking after a bird is a simple task. But apparently the friend is unavailable even for this. So the pet shop is the only option. And since taking care of a bird is relatively easy, and her bird will be carefully looked after by professional nurses, spending some money is not a big deal. Most importantly, she will enjoy her trip better without worrying about her bird pet too much.
解析     Task 5的重点是学生遇到的困难跟解决的途径。这道题是如何解决女生要去夏威夷度假，但是没人照顾她的宠物鸟的问题。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 student’s problem is that she is going on vacation for a week．But her pet bird is left home with no one feeding it．”所以，“So she has no idea what to do．”
