Speaking Question 1
Do you think that parents should be allowed to educate their children at home, or should they be required to send children to school outside the home? Support your answer. |
For homeschooling – 7 seconds
Reason 1: more of an education- 18 seconds
Reason 2: save costs – 17-18 seconds
Speaking Question 2 – Converted Rooms
Reading – There is not enough housing for the large number of freshman university students. As an answer to this problem, we can take the lounges and study areas located in the main campus dorms and turn them into “triples”, rooms to house 3 students. This idea will be an answer to the shortage of available rooms. These converted rooms will have the same features as the other dorm rooms. This includes furniture like desks and bookshelves. And since these spaces are large areas, they will be plenty big enough and comfortable for the students.
Notes – I don’t like
agree not enough
should be lounges in dorms
important because students need quiet space
away from noisy roommates
quiet place to read
another point
location wouldn’t make good dorm rooms
corners of each floor
too far away
not typical dorm experience
nobody should live there
worse for freshman
if you need space ask sophomores
Speaking Question 3 – Entertainment Merchandising
Reading – Entertainment merchandising is a marketing practice in which a brand or image is used to sell other products typically unassociated with that product by using similar images. For example, the success of a movie might spark other industries to sell toys, t-shirts, or other merchandise featuring those characters. The opposite can occur also, in which a movie is made featuring toys that are already popular in an effort to help sell the movie.
