Sounds okay to me.Thing is: depending on someone else makes me nervous. My roommate had to do a project likethis and the other girl didnt show up to meetings, didnt do any research. My roommate had todo everything herself.Thats a drag. I guess if your partner is irresponsible, you are out of luck.Exactly. It hurt her grade. I dont want the same thing to happen to me. Right now lm moreconcerned with getting a good grade even though I know thats not the lesson the professor hasin mind.Still, itll be good to listen to everyones stuff.Well, I dont know. I mean, at the end of the semester, people are focused on studying for exams.Yeah.Who has time to put something like this together when theyre busy studying?True.I cant imagine anyone will be able to really do a good job with it. And everyone will be sopreoccupied by then that they probably wont listen anyway. I think the professors gonna bedisappointed. And studentswell.well all just be frustrated by the whole thing.Task4Now listen to part of a lecture on this topic in a psychology class.Heres an example from my own life. Before I started teaching, I worked as a research assistant ina laboratory for a year.Well, during my very first week on the job, I made a suggestion to my boss on how we couldimprove the way we were running an experiment. My suggestion was a good one. Theexperiment was successful and we got great results.Anyway, that first week, because of that one experiment, my boss decided, perhaps without evenrealizing it, he decided I was a great research assistant and he never changed his mind. After thatfirst week, I was.l was okay, you know, average. I was a good worker, but I also made mistakes.Everyone does. But whenever my boss introduced me to someone, hed say, this is John, our starresearch assistant.But a co-worker of mine, she wasnt as fortunate, her first week at the lab, she made a bigmistake and the lab lost some important data. We recovered the data, but it cost of the lab timeand money. Well, our boss concluded that week that my co-worker was unreliable, incompetent.And he continued to think that. But, actually, after that week, she turned out to be a goodresearch assistant, probably better than me. She made some other small mistakes, like I said,everyone does. But our boss thought of her as unreliable cuz he only noticed her mistakes.Task5Now listen to a conversation between two students about campus housing.Hi. Kate. How is it going?Pretty good. I just found out lm going to be staying on campus during the semester break.Professor Clark asked me to help him with some research.Thats a pretty big deal.Yeah. I guess it is, but the problem is: the dorm is always closed. So I need to find housing forabout two weeks.Oh, thats rough. But didnt you mention that you had a couple of friends that live in anapartment not too far from campus? Are they gonna be around?Yeah. Mary and Alan. They say they are gonna stick around here during the break.Well, so why dont you just stay with them?Ive been thinking about asking them.And they probably wouldnt charge you anything, right? Just for a couple of weeks.Yeah. Probably not. im sure theyd be fine with it. But since its between classes and they wonthave classes and stuff, lm worried thatYoure afraid that they might want to party too much?Right. Theyll be on vacation, but lll have to get up early in the morning to work all day,so well be on completely different schedules.Hmm.well, another possibility is that sometimes you can get special permission to stay at thedorm.Really? You mean theyd let me stay in my own dorm room? I wouldnt have to move?Well, you would, actually, because they usually only keep one of the dorms open and its not theone youre in.Hmm.l wonder how much they charge.Well, its not as cheap as staying with friends, butBut it would be quieterTrue.Task6Listen to part of a lecture in a psychology class.Children like to play. Everybody knows that. When kids play, they have fun. But theres more toplay than just having fun. Play is also important if kids are to develop in an emotionally healthyway. From a psychological perspectivewell, lets talk about two reasons psychologists believeplay benefits kids.First, play helps children feel more in control. Why? Well, some psychologists have suggested thatsmall children often feel helpless. They have to depend on other people, adults, for everything.Theyve got very little control over their own lives. Parents decide when they eat, what they eat,what they wear. This constant state of dependency can make kids feel uneasy and anxious. Butwhen kids play, theyre able to control their world of play. They decideoh.which toy theyregonna play with and how theyre gonna play with it. Maybe they take some building blocks andmake a building out of them. They are constructing something with no help at all. So according tothis theory, playing gives children a sense of being in control and they dont feel so helpless.And heres another way play contributes to healthy psychological development. It gives children asafe way to explore certain urges, desires they have, but ones that dontrepresentwell.typically acceptable behavior. For example, uh, take the urge to be destructive.All kids have this urge, but if they try to a
