Task 2
Reading Passage:
Standardized Tests: Fair or Unfair?
Standardized tests have been a part of the American education system for decades. They are used to evaluate student performance and compare schools' academic standings. Supporters of these tests argue that they are a fair way to measure knowledge and skills, while critics claim that they are not an accurate reflection of a student's abilities.
One argument in favor of standardized tests is that they provide a level playing field for all students. Everyone takes the same test, regardless of their background or social status. This ensures that all students are evaluated on the same criteria and that the results are objective.
However, opponents of these tests argue that they do not take into account the many different factors that can affect a student's performance, such as their socio-economic status, their native language, or even their test-taking skills. They claim that standardized tests are not a true measure of a student's knowledge or intelligence and that they often put minority and low-income students at a disadvantage.
Listening Passage:
Listening/Conversation Transcript:
Professor: Today we're going to talk about standardized tests, specifically whether they are a fair way to evaluate student performance. The reading passage argues that they are, but I have some reservations about that. First of all, I think it's important to acknowledge that standardized tests do provide a level playing field for all students, as the passage states. But at the same time, we have to remember that not all students have the same advantages. Some come from more affluent families and have access to better resources, while others may have to work part-time jobs or take care of siblings after school. These factors can greatly affect a student's performance on a standardized test, even if they are equally knowledgeable and intelligent as their peers.
Secondly, standardized tests often do not measure the skills and knowledge that are most important for success in the real world. For example, memorizing information for a history exam does not necessarily translate to being able to analyze and think critically about current events. Similarly, solving algebraic equations does not necessarily prepare students for real-world problem-solving.
Finally, I think it's important to remember that standardized tests are just one tool for evaluating student performance. They should not be the sole criterion for college admissions or other important decisions. Other factors, such as extracurricular activities, essays, and letters of recommendation, should also be taken into account.
The question:
Summarize the professor's main arguments against the idea that standardized tests are a fair way to evaluate student performance, and explain whether you agree or disagree with these arguments.
My Answer:
The reading message talk about the fair or unfair test that have to take in by students. the professor deny that the test under dies is good method for students. he argued that students has different backgrounds such as social and economical status. for students that have low income they have to do a part-time job that disturb the educational process or how do they learn. even if all the students have equally knowledgeable and equally intellectual it seems not fair for the standardized test. I agree with the professor standardize must be not the only one factor for students can graduates

Task 4
Reading Passage:
Black Holes: Challenges in Studying Them
Black holes are one of the most fascinating and enigmatic objects in the universe. They are formed from the remnants of massive stars that have reached the end of their lives, and their gravitational pull is so strong that nothing, not even light, can escape. Despite their importance to our understanding of the universe, studying black holes presents a number of challenges.
One of the main challenges in studying black holes is their invisibility. Since nothing can escape their gravitational pull, black holes themselves cannot be seen. Instead, scientists have to rely on indirect observations of their effects on nearby matter, such as the gas and stars that orbit around them.
Another challenge is the extreme environment around black holes. The gravitational forces near a black hole are so strong that they distort space and time, causing objects to behave in ways that are difficult to predict. In addition, the intense radiation and magnetic fields near black holes can interfere with scientific instruments and make it hard to obtain accurate measurements.
Despite these challenges, scientists have made significant progress in understanding black holes in recent years. By combining observations from different telescopes and studying the behavior of matter around black holes, researchers have been able to learn more about the properties of these mysterious objects and the role they play in the evolution of galaxies.
Listening Passage:
Professor: Today we're going to talk about the challenges of studying black holes. As you probably know, black holes are objects in space that are so massive and dense that their gravitational pull is strong enough to prevent anything, including light, from escaping.
Student: Yeah, I've heard of them. But how do scientists study them if they can't see them?
Professor: That's a great question. Black holes themselves are invisible, but we can detect their presence by observing the effects of their gravity on nearby matter. For example, if a black hole is surrounded by gas or stars, we can observe the way that the gas or stars move around the black hole and use that information to infer the presence of the black hole.
Student: I see. But that sounds like it would be difficult to do.
Professor: It is. In addition to the challenge of detecting black holes indirectly, there are a number of other challenges associated with studying them. For example, the extreme environment around black holes can interfere with scientific instruments and make it hard to obtain accurate measurements.
Student: What do you mean by "extreme environment"?
Professor: The gravitational forces near a black hole are so strong that they can distort space and time, causing objects to behave in ways that are difficult to predict. In addition, the intense radiation and magnetic fields near black holes can be dangerous to spacecraft and can interfere with scientific instruments.
Student: Wow, I had no idea studying black holes was so complicated.
Professor: It is, but despite these challenges, scientists have made significant progress in understanding black holes in recent years. By combining observations from different telescopes and studying the behavior of matter around black holes, we've been able to learn more about the properties of these mysterious objects and the role they play in the evolution of galaxies.
The question:
What are some of the challenges associated with studying black holes, according to the reading passage and the conversation?
My Answer:
So according to the materials studying black hole have two main challenges. the first one because the Blake holes has really strong gravity it couldn't it couldn't be seen easily and also it calls the really high distraction because the time and the Space is really distracted. and then the second challenge is the Environmental of this black hole these black holes have higher radiation and magnetic power. However the professor Optimist that studying black holes can be done by studying materials surrounding them such as gas and stars the behavior of those things can be studied to determine the black holes
