Reading Passage:
There is a blocking system in ecosystem. / When ecosystem is ruin, it will be recovered by its balance
sample
In this lecture, the lecturer mainly talks about a theory related with biology in order to explain how ecosystem remains. / He gives us Raspberry as an example. / It grows under big trees making big shadows. / When the big trees make big shadows, there would be a lot of small trees like Raspberry growing up fast under the big trees. / And then the big trees stop growing and disappear. / Also, this kind of Raspberry in turn stops growing up and disappears when other small trees grow up big enough. / The professor emphasizes that in this situation / the big trees make not only big shadows for small trees, but also protect them from animals that like to eat them. / That’s why the ecosystem automatically remains by this kind of circulation
Psychology (기본 형)

Taking a class
Calculus class (2007년 9월 8일)
In this conversation, / the male student has a serious problem with his calculus class / because he has a lot of things he has to deal with for the class and also his final test is coming very soon. That’s why there’re two possible solutions for his problem presented by the other student talking with him. / One is getting a tutor available from the mathematics department, / but he says that it is very expensive. / The other option is having a study group, / but he is worried about the fact (that) / he might lose a lot of time in terms of discussing useless topics all the time. Given the choice between two plausible suggestions, / I would choose the second one / because I’m pretty sure that it is the better one of the two for his problem. / If he makes a study group with group members who are very serious and eager for the subject, / he won’t be spending any money having a tutor / and every job will be done very efficiently with those members / and eventually, he will be able to finish everything he has to do for the class.
Doing activity
In this conversation, / the male student (the president of a club for Anthropology) has a serious problem with taking a museum trip / because his mother’s vehicle (mini-van) he really wanted to use is out of order. In this situation, / there’re two possible solutions (presented by the other student talking with him). / One is fixing the vehicle first, but he is so worried about the fact that it would take a lot of time to do so / and the other option is renting another vehicle, but he is also worried about the fact that it would be very expensive. Given the choice between two possible solutions, / I would choose the first one / because I’m pretty sure that / it is the better one of the two for the problem. If he has a mechanic repair the vehicle, / even if it takes about a couple of hours, / it is more economical for him. / Actually, the vehicle he wanted to use should be fixed later. / Therefore, if he does so, / he is going to get two birds by throwing a tiny pebble / even though it looks somewhat inconvenient.
Staying in dorm
In this conversation, / the female student has a serious problem with a lot of stuffs (books) she needs to bring for her class. / Actually, this month she moved into another dorm (that is very far from each of her classrooms). That’s why there’re two possible solutions presented by the other student talking with her. / One is putting those books in her dorm and using some of them when she needs, / but she complains that the round trip from her dorm to her classroom, it takes about sometimes more than 20 minutes. / The other option is sharing some of those books with her classmates, but she also insists that she should use her own books because (she believes) it would be a more effective way to study. Given the choice between two suggestions, / I would choose the first case for her problem because I believe that it would be the better one of the two. / If she brings her text books from her dorm to classroom as much as she wants, / even if it is sometimes too heave to do, absolutely, it would be very beneficial to her / in terms of keeping her books into library after class / in order to catch up with some of her lectures if she needs. / I’m pretty sure that sharing text books won’t be helpful to her anyway
Getting a job
Internship and Salary (2009년 3월 29일)
In this conversation, / the female student has a serious problem with her internship (provided by a research team) / because the salary they offer is too small to her. There’re two possible solutions to solve her problem. / One is asking the research team to increase more salary (to her), / but she is worried about not being able to keep her job / because (she says) / there is a bunch of applicants with her. / The other option is getting another part time job available to make up a little more money she needs, / (because before the internship, she has 5-months to work) / but she says / she’s getting busier doing her school work and it is very hard to finish. Given the choice between two possible suggestions (presented by the other student talking with her), / I would choose the second case / because I’m pretty sure (that) it is the better one of the two / (in terms of her being more satisfied with it). / If she does so, / she is not going to lose her internship / and even though she’s getting much busier doing her school work, / if she does her best to work hard, she can have a chance to make up some money she needs, / so she has to get a part time job for at least 5-months available. / I think / it is very natural in the United States / that anyone who needs extra money absolutely should get a part time job available to make and use the money as possible as they can
