[Narrator 2] Number 5. Listen to a short conversation. Then listen for a question about it. After you hear the question, you have 20 seconds to prepare and 60 seconds to record your answer.
[Narrator 1] Now listen to a conversation between a student and her friend.
[Friend] What are you going to do for the project?
[Student] I don’t know. I was hoping you could help me think of something.
[Friend] Well, you’re such a good artist, you could talk about watercolor while you’re doing one in front of the class. That would be totally awesome. If I were you, that’s what I’d do.
[Student] Maybe, but what if I make a mistake in front of everyone?
[Friend] Come on. You’re really talented. Besides, you wouldn’t have to do much preparation
beforehand.
[Student] True. And it fits in with what we’ve been talking about in class.
[Friend] Yeah. Or, how about this? You could bring in a photograph, a pencil drawing, and a watercolor of the same subject. Something simple so it wouldn’t take so much time to do, like a flower. Then you could show the advantages and disadvantages of working with different materials.
[Student] I could do that one ahead of time.
[Friend] You could, but remember it would take a lot more time.
[Student] Gee, thanks. I’ll have to think about it, but these are both really good options.
