Required Work Experience The business studies department at State University will now require all students enrolled in its program to complete one semester of work experience in a local corporation or small business. It is felt that students will benefit from this work experience by developing leadership and organizational skills that would not normally be learned in a classroom or campus setting. Furthermore, the relationships that students establish with the company that they work for may help them to secure permanent employment with that company once they have completed the program and graduated.

5.语言使用Original Answer: The article mainly talked about a decision made by the State University that students majored in business departments should enroll a program working in local business or companies to gain work experience. And the woman disagrees with that state because, firstly, the state says that it can help students to develop leadership and organizational skills. However, the woman raised her old brother's example. While he was working in a local business, what he did was just typing or filing some basic tasks, and he didn't get any development by doing that. Secondly, the statement says that they can develop a relationship which will benefit from their permanent position. However, the woman said it's not so.

Revised Answer (140 words): The article discussed a decision made by the State University requiring students majoring in business departments to participate in a work experience program at local businesses or companies. The woman disagrees with this policy for two reasons. Firstly, she believes that the policy's claim of helping students develop leadership and organizational skills is not accurate. She supports her argument by citing her older brother's experience, where he only performed basic tasks like typing and filing without any significant development. Secondly, she challenges the statement that students can develop relationships that will benefit their permanent positions after graduation. The woman argues that due to the high competition from other universities with similar requirements, securing a permanent job will be difficult, as there won't be enough positions available for all business graduates in the city.

5.语言使用Original Answer: Well, the university requires all students to gain some work experience. That's because students will benefit by developing leadership and organizational skills, and besides, it can also help students secure permanent employment. However, the woman doesn't like the idea. First off, she says that it's not the kind of work that you can develop your leadership and organizational skills. You just do some basic thing like typing, which is not meaningful at all. So students cannot learn those things. And besides, she says she doesn't like the idea because there are lots of students and the company don't have so many space for them. So it will not be helpful when they're getting a job. Therefore, she doesn't like the idea.
Corrected Answer: The university now requires all students to gain work experience, as it believes this will help them develop leadership and organizational skills and secure permanent employment after graduation. However, the woman disagrees with this policy. Firstly, she argues that such work does not actually foster leadership and organizational skills since students only perform basic tasks like typing, which are not meaningful at all. Secondly, she contends that this policy is ineffective in helping students find jobs after graduation due to the high number of students competing for limited positions in companies.

Revised Answer (140 words): The university now requires all business studies students to gain work experience in local corporations or small businesses, believing that this will help them develop leadership and organizational skills and secure permanent employment after graduation. However, the woman disagrees with this policy for two main reasons. Firstly, she argues that such work does not actually foster the desired skills since students are often assigned basic tasks like typing, which are not meaningful or challenging. Secondly, she contends that this policy is ineffective in helping students find jobs after graduation due to the high number of students from various universities competing for limited positions in companies. In conclusion, the woman believes that the university's new policy is flawed and will not provide the intended benefits to students in terms of skill development and post-graduation employment opportunities.

4.话题发展 In terms of topic development, the response is coherent and well-organized, with clear connections between ideas and sufficient support or examples. However, there is room for improvement. The speaker could have elaborated more on the woman's personal experience with her brother's internship and how it relates to the lack of meaningful tasks during the work experience. Additionally, providing more specific examples of the competition among students from other universities would have strengthened the argument against the new policy. Overall, focusing on expanding ideas and providing more concrete examples will help improve topic development in future responses.

However, the woman in the conversation disagrees with this plan. However, the woman in the conversation opposes this plan. (使用了更高级的词汇“opposes”替换“disagrees”)
In the first place, she believes that it will not enhance the students' leadership or organizational skills, because the students will only be responsible for some basic work in the company during the internship, and they are not meaningful for the leadership or the organizational skills. Firstly, she argues that it will not develop students' leadership or organizational skills since they will only handle basic tasks during their internships, which are not significant for cultivating these skills. (改进了句子结构,使用了更高级的词汇和更自然的表达方式)
Secondly, she believes that the relationship between the company will not help them secure permanent employment, because there are many other students from other universities to do the same job in that corporation, and there are no sufficient positions for so many students. Secondly, she contends that the connections established with the company will not guarantee permanent employment, as numerous students from other universities compete for the same positions, resulting in an insufficient number of available jobs.

3.Delivery The speaker's delivery is generally clear and fluid, but there are occasional pauses and some minor pronunciation issues. To improve, the speaker should practice speaking at a consistent pace and work on their pronunciation of certain words. Additionally, focusing on proper punctuation will help to reduce inappropriate pauses.
4.Topic Development The response is coherent and well-organized, with clear connections between ideas. However, the speaker could provide more specific examples or details to support their points. To improve topic development, the speaker should elaborate on the woman's reasons for disagreeing with the policy and provide more context from the listening passage. This will help to create a stronger argument and better demonstrate understanding of the material.
5.Language UseOriginal: Business Studies Department at the State University announces a requirement about one semester's working experience at local corporations or small companies since they can develop leadership or organizational skills for the students. Also, they can help to secure permanent employment in the companies they used to work with. The woman totally disagreed with the announcement because, in her experience, her brother used to do the same thing, and her brother just did some basic tasks like printing. Thus, it was meaningful and they could not learn something new. Also, there are also other university students that received the same requirement and on the same position. The company may not have enough jobs available for this kind of students.
Corrected: Business Studies Department at theState University announced a requirement for one semester's workingwork experience at local corporations or small companies(change "announces" to "announced" for correct tense; use "for" instead of "about"; change "working" to "work"). They believe this can develop leadership and organizational skills for students(use a more natural-sounding language style). Also, it can help secure permanent employment in the companies they interned with. The woman disagreed with the announcement because her brother had a similar experience and only did basic tasks like printingtyping(correct word choice). Thus, it was meaningfulnot meaningful and they could not learn anything new. Additionally, there are other university students with the same requirement competing for the same positions. The company may not have enough jobs available for all these students.
Revised (140 words): The Business Studies Department at State University announced a requirement for one semester's work experience at local corporations or small companies, believing it can develop leadership and organizational skills for students. It is also expected to help secure permanent employment in the companies they interned with. However, the woman disagreed with the announcement, citing her brother's similar experience where he only performed basic tasks like typing, making it not meaningful and providing no opportunity to learn anything new. Furthermore, she pointed out that other university students with the same requirement would be competing for the same positions, resulting in a limited number of available jobs for all these students. This raises concerns about the effectiveness of this policy in achieving its intended goals.

23. 3.Delivery
The speaker's delivery is generally clear and fluid, with a consistent pace and only occasional pauses. However, there is room for improvement in terms of pronunciation and reducing unnecessary pauses. To enhance the delivery, the speaker should practice speaking more confidently and focus on proper pronunciation of words.
4.Topic Development The response is coherent and well-organized, with clear connections between ideas and sufficient support or examples. The speaker effectively states the woman's opinion and explains her reasons for holding that opinion. However, the response could be improved by providing more specific details from the listening passage to further support the woman's points. Additionally, the speaker should work on making smoother transitions between ideas to create a more cohesive response.
5.Language UseThe university plans to ask the students to complete one semester of workingwork experience because they think that it can develop their leadership and organizational skills and can help them to have a secure permanent employment. However, the woman disagrees with this idea. The first reason is that students are not going to learn or to improve their leadership or any organizational skills by doing some work. She says that her older brother was enrolled in one of these programs and he was just doing some basic stuff like typing. Another reason is that she thinks it is not going to guarantee a permanent employment because other schools and other students are doing this. So even if students are taking one of the positions after graduation, there will not be enough job openings for all these students.
(Changed "working" to "work" for proper word form)
Revised Answer (140 words):
The university plans to require students to complete one semester of work experience, believing it will develop their leadership and organizational skills, as well as help secure permanent employment after graduation. However, the woman disagrees with this policy for two main reasons. Firstly, she argues that students won't actually learn or improve their leadership or organizational skills through such work experiences, as her older brother's experience involved only basic tasks like typing. Secondly, she believes that this policy won't guarantee permanent employment upon graduation due to the high competition from other schools and students participating in similar programs. Consequently, even if students obtain a position during their studies, there may not be enough job openings for all graduates seeking full-time work in the field.
6.Mind Map
- University policy
- One semester work experience
- Develop leadership and organizational skills
- Secure permanent employment
- Woman's disagreement
- No real skill development
- Brother's experience (basic tasks)
- No guaranteed employment
- High competition (other schools and students)
- Limited job openings for graduates
