问题 You will now listen to part of a conversation. You will then be asked a question about it. After you hear the question, give yourself 20 seconds to prepare your response. Then record yourself speaking for 60 seconds.
Listen to Track 38.

Briefly summarize the problem the speakers are discussing. Then state which of the two solutions from the conversation you would recommend. Explain the reasons for your recommendation.
Narrator
Listen to a conversation between two students.
Male student
Susan! What happened to your arm?
Female student
It’s my wrist, actually—I sprained it last weekend. And I’m kind of upset about it, because I’m supposed to play the violin in my string quartet’s big concert next week. We’ve been practicing for weeks. And we’ve already sold a bunch of tickets.
Male student
Oh, sorry to hear that. What are you gonna do?
Female student
Well, I was thinking about trying to play anyway. I mean, I really don’t want to let the other three group members down. Plus the doctor said my wrist should be feeling better by then.
Male student
OK, so .. . problem solved, right?
Female student
Not exactly—I’m worried that I’m gonna be out of practice. Like, I haven’t been able to play the violin since I sprained my wrist. What if I don’t play well? I’d make the rest of the group sound bad.
Male student
Why don’tcha get somebody else to take your place?
Female student
Well, there’s only one other person I know of who could do it, and that’s Jim. He’s a great violinist, and I’m sure he’d say yes. . . . The thing is, he’s not very reliable. I mean, I’m in the orchestra with him and he’s always showing up late for rehearsals.
Male student
Oh ... so you’re not sure you can depend on him.
Female student
Exactly. And we have less than a week left to rehearse for the concert. We’d really need him to show up on time for all our rehearsals.

选项

答案     To respond to this particular question you should briefly describe the problem. It is enough to say that the woman has hurt her wrist and she’s supposed to play the violin in a concert next week.
    Next, you need to choose one of the two solutions and explain why you think that solution is best. The two solutions in this conversation are: 1)perform with the group anyway, or 2)have Jim take her place. It does not matter which of the two proposed solutions you choose, since there is no "right" solution or "wrong" solution. You should choose the solution that you think is best and support your choice with reasons why you think it is best. The reasons you give can include information provided by the speakers as well as your own experiences.
    For example, if you believe the first solution is preferable, you could begin by saying that you think she should have the experience of playing in the big concert and that she would be disappointed if she didn’t. You could also say that she will probably play fine. You could also speak about the disadvantages of the second solution; you might say that it is too much of a risk to ask Jim to replace her at such an important concert. Likewise, if you believe the second solution is preferable, you would state your preference for that and support it in a similar way, using specific reasons. Remember, this type of question can be answered in many different ways.
    Your response should be intelligible, should demonstrate effective use of grammar and vocabulary, and should be well developed and coherent.
