Narrator
Now listen to part of a lecture in a psychology class.
Professor
Why do we do the things we do? What drives us to participate in certain activities ... to buy a certain car... or even to choose a certain career? In other words, what motivates us to do what we do?
Well, in studies of motivation, psychologists distinguish between two very different types. Our reasons for doing something, our motivations, can be extrinsic—in other words, based on some kind of external reward like praise or money ... or they can be intrinsic... meaning we engage in the activity because it pleases us internally. Both create strong forces that lead us to behave in certain ways; however, intrinsic motivation is generally considered to be more long-lasting than the other.
As I said, extrinsic motivation is . .. external. It’s the desire to behave in a certain way in order to obtain some kind of external reward. A child, for example, who regularly does small jobs around the house does them not because she enjoys taking out the garbage or doing the dishes but because she knows if she does these things, she’ll be given a small amount money for doing them. But how motivated would the child be to continue doing the work if her parents suddenly stopped giving her money for it?
With intrinsic, or internal, motivation we want to do something because we enjoy it, or get a sense of accomplishment from it. Most people who are internally motivated get pleasure from the activity ... so they just feel good about doing it. For example, I go to the gym several times a week. I don’t go because I’m training for a marathon or anything. I just enjoy it. I have more energy after I exercise and I know it’s good for my health so it makes me feel good about myself. And that’s what’s kept me going there for the past five years.

答案     This particular question requires you to summarize the contents of a lecture you hear. In your response, you should talk about the two different kinds of motivation(which are extrinsic—or external—motivation, and intrinsic—or internal—motivation). You should include relevant points and examples from the lecture(and not from any other source).
    To begin your response, you should briefly state the main idea, that there are two types of motivation, and name the two types. You would then talk about the first type of motivation, extrinsic(or external)motivation. You would explain that when we are externally motivated, we do something for an external reward. You would then talk about the professor’s example of a child doing household chores for an allowance. The money that the child receives is motivation.
    You would next talk about the second type of motivation, intrinsic(or internal)motivation. You would explain that when we are internally motivated, we do something because it makes us feel good. You should then discuss the professor’s example. The professor goes to the gym several times a week because it’s good for his health and he enjoys it. You could then say that he has gone for several years, which shows that intrinsic motivation is long lasting. You do not, however, need to repeat all of the details from the lecture. You need to give only sufficient details to explain the types of motivation. You should plan your time so that you have enough time to cover both types of motivation and their examples.
    Your response should be intelligible, should demonstrate effective use of grammar and vocabulary, and should be well developed and coherent.
