Q: Read the below conversation. M: Well, Jenny, the school year is almost over. We just have two more weeks before exams. What do you plan to do this summer? W: I'm going to teach English to some immigrants in the university's community service program. M: That sounds interesting. Don't you need to speak a foreign language for a job like that? W: No, you don't. You just have to present the language simply and give the students a chance to practice speaking. M: Come to think of it, that's the way I was taught to speak Chinese. But speaking didn't help me learn to read and write Chinese. W: My students won't want to read and write English, at lease not now. They are more interested in speaking. M: You sound very knowledgeable about all this. How do you know so much? What would the listener say?
A: W: I took a Teaching English as a Second Language course last year when you were in China. I've also talked with the experienced teachers quite a lot. I think I would like to be an ESL teacher when I graduate.
Question: Read the below conversation. M: Thanks for agreeing to this interview,Mrs. Rogers. My teacher wants me to interview someone who lived during the 1940s. W: Of course, Joey. What's your first question? M: Well,where were you living in 1940? W: In Minneapolis, Minnesota, where I was born and raised. M: Did you live with your family? W: Yes,with my parents and my younger brother. In 1943,I moved to Washington D. C. by myself. I got a job as a typist for a newspaper. M: What was D. C. like? W: It was an exciting time to be living there. I got my interest in politics from being in the nation's capital. When I moved to California,I went straight to Sacramento and got a job working for a state lawmaker. M: Were you in California when the war ended? W: No, I was still in D. C. I met my husband there, and we moved the following year, in 1946. M: How long did you work for the lawmaker? W: Well, I was a secretary for that politician for two years. Then I had my two girls and stayed home for a few years. But as soon as they were old enough, I ran for office myself. M: Really? Did you win? W: I did. I spent the next 20 years as a local politician. What would the listener say?
Answer: M: Wow. I've lived next door for years, and I didn't even know that!
