More Flexible Meal Plans
As of right now, the school offers only one meal plan to students, which permits them to
eat at the cafeteria once per day for the entire school year. The problem with this is that
there are students who are busy with part-time jobs away from campus and don’t have
time to eat at the cafeteria on a daily basis. Since these students still want to eat at the
cafeteria occasionally I believe it would be best if the school started to sell meal plans that
provide a specific number of meals which students can eat whenever they want. Not only
will this be more convenient, but it will also increase the cafeteria’s income as a greater
number of students will consider taking advantage of its services.
Sincerely,
Johnny B. Goode
Now, listen to a conversation about the same topic
Now answer the question.
The man expresses his opinion on cafeteria meal plans. State his opinion and explain the reasons he gives for
holding that opinion.
Speaking Task 2: Transcript
Man: Hey Lisa, did you read Johnny's letter in the school paper?
Woman: Yeah, I'm just finishing it now, actually. I can't believe he finally complained about it.
Man: Yeah, and I think it's great. Almost everyone I talk to agrees that the cafeteria should be more flexible when
it comes to meal plans. I mean, I'm not crazy about the cafeteria food, but I like to go there to meet up
with friends and hang out. I'd buy a 50-meal plan, for example, but I would never get the yearly meal plan.
Woman: Yes, I guess you have a point, but, won't this make the meals more expensive? I am on the school's
meal plan right now and the one thing I love about it is the price. It's so cheap.
Man: I don't see why a new meal plan structure would affect the price of the current system. It's basically just
adding more options. Even though I might have to pay more per meal for my plan, it fits my schedule
better. This type of structure is going to make everyone happy, both the students who don't plan on eating
at the cafeteria every day, and the school, which can make a bit more money from the variety of options.
And even students like you who are already on the meal plan won't be affected by this change
Woman: I guess you're right. Maybe Johnny will get what he wants after all.
My answer transcript:
According to the conversation demand totally agree with Johnny later he feels that Johnny letter was great and he can't believe that Johnny finally complained about it. then she talked to Lisa about this letter and he feels like to hang out on the cafeteria even if it only small what amount of meal and he think that the flexibility would not affect people that only subscribe into one meal like Lisa

Types of Leadership
Every day we come across leaders in school, business, and life, and each has their own
unique approach to managing others. The way people use their power and authority
differs from person to person, but there are some recurring patterns. In business theory,
there are two main types of leaders: instrumental and expressive. Instrumental leaders are
very demanding individuals. Leaders of this type expect their employees to be professional
and focused on work rather than on relationships with their colleagues. In contrast,
expressive leaders are concerned about employee well-being. They believe strong
relationships and a positive work environment improve a group’s overall productivity.
Now listen to a lecture about this topic in a behavioral psychology class
Now answer the question.
Using the examples from the lecture, describe two types of leadership.
Speaking Task 3: Transcript
“Okay, so, you may have never heard of the terms instrumental and expressive before when it comes to
leadership, but I bet you could think of a couple of people who fit these descriptions.
Now, I used to have a part-time job working as a waiter at a restaurant. I had a boss named Bill who was a
typical instrumental leader. Not only was he good at managing his business, but he also had extensive
experience as a waiter. He had high standards in the way we treated customers and he expected all of us to do
the same. The waiters were almost completely forbidden to speak with one another while at work, even when we
didn't have any customers. He felt that if we focused on our tasks and the customers, not on each other, we
wouldn't get distracted or become lazy. He did have a successful restaurant, but there were certainly other
approaches he could have taken that weren't so strict.
You know, my boss right now is Professor Green, the head of my department. She really knows how to treat the
university staff with respect. While there are rules we have to follow and deadlines we must meet, she hardly ever
pressures us. She treats us like adults and we, the teaching staff, all do our jobs to the best of our abilities
because we don't want to disappoint or upset her. She holds weekly staff meetings, so we can communicate
about problems in class and even holds parties at her home once a month. We all feel like part of an open and
honest team, and that would not be possible without her expressive type of leadership.”
My answer transcript:
There are two kind of leadership according to the material those two are instrumental leadership and expressive leadership. the instrumental leadership is kind of leader that really demanding and the other one expressive one is concerned about well-being of their the inferior. The woman in the conversation talk about Bill her boss and the restaurant he has high standard and really supervising his stuff and must following the rules this kind of leader gives pressure to the employee even if the business is going well. and secondly the woman talk about Professor Green her boss right now at the University, Professor Green leadership with respect and give no pressure to his staff and make us or make her and her friend do the best. to sum up the woman seems like more comfortable with expressive leadership that can found in Professor Green

Speaking Task 4
Directions: You will now listen to part of a lecture. You will then be asked a question about it. After
you hear the question, you will have 20 seconds to prepare your response and 60 seconds to speak.
Now listen to part of a lecture in a psychology class
Now answer the question.
Using points and examples from the talk, describe the two theories that explain why humans sleep.
Speaking Task 4: Transcript
“We spend approximately one-third of our lives sleeping. Given that the average life expectancy for most of us
falls between 73 and 79 years old, we can expect to spend approximately 25 years of our lives sleeping.
Surprisingly, the reason why we humans sleep is still mostly a mystery, but there are a few theories that attempt
to explain the function of sleep.
One popular hypothesis argues that sleep is essential in order for us humans to restore the resources we use
throughout the day. The same way that bears hibernate in the winter when resources are scarce, perhaps people
sleep at night to reduce the amount of energy they use. It has recently become fashionable to argue that people
need to sleep at least eight hours a night in order to function at their optimal physical and mental capacity. I'm
sure all of you have felt pretty sluggish after a late night with just a few hours of sleep, so this theory makes
sense, intuitively.
However, there are others who are not convinced by this simplistic explanation of why we sleep and have
proposed other explanations.
Another popular theory proposes that sleep is an adaptive response to predatory risk. In other words, our great
ancestors were more likely to be hunted and killed at night by other animals, so a desire to sleep in a safe,
comfortable area was an evolutionary mechanism that helped shield us from harm. As I'm sure you are all
aware, there are more risks at night time since visibility is so low. We haven't adapted our senses in the same
way other creatures have to survive throughout the night. Accordingly, it makes sense to believe that sleep is a
biological response to our environmental conditions, but, just like the theory involving energy conservation, there
are some who disagree.”
My answer transcript:
According to the lecture that 1/3 of Our Lives is sleep if we count that our lives in 73 to 79 years old it must be 25 years we are sleeping. to theory of regarding this sleeping he explained to function of sleep for us. for first one first one human their Physical and mental resources, like other animal doing hibernate that's good to recover. and the second theory is about adaptive risk in the past maybe human couldn't see in the dark so sleeping can chill them from harm
