Recipes from Home As part of an effort to diversify the menu at the dining hall, students will now be able to submit their favorite family recipes through a new feature on the university's Web site. Each month the dining hall staff will then select a few of the recipes to prepare and serve.A recent survey indicated that many students wish a wider variety of food options were offered on campus, so the dining hall staff hopes that serving students some of their favorite foods from home will also add variety to the food choices. Additionally, an archive of the selected recipes will be maintained on the Web site so that all students can access and prepare the recipes they enjoyed eating.

The woman in the listening part likes this idea because, firstly, she believes that the current dining hall menu is limited in variety. As a result, she and her roommates rarely visit the dining hall due to the repetitive daily selection. If the dining hall implements this plan, students would have the opportunity to taste diverse dishes from different countries, reflecting the multicultural backgrounds of the student population.

  1. Delivery The speaker's delivery is mostly clear and fluid, with a consistent pace and only occasional pauses. However, there are some minor punctuation issues that can be improved. To enhance the delivery, the speaker should practice proper pausing and intonation to make the speech sound more natural and engaging.

  2. 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 in providing more specific details from the listening passage to strengthen the response. For instance, mentioning the woman's hesitance to cook new recipes from a cookbook could be included to further support her opinion on the plan. Practicing summarizing key points from both the reading and listening passages will help improve topic development in future responses.

5. Language Use

Original: The reading passage announces a change to the campus policy, which is allowing students to submit their favorite recipe from home. And then the school cafeteria will serve this food to students. In addition, the school will make an archive for these recipes. The woman is in favor of this idea. Firstly, she thinks that this allows students to try food from different areas in the world, which is a fantastic idea. For instance, the woman herself is from East Europe, so she wanted to submit a recipe of borscht soup. Secondly, the woman embraces the idea of being able to cook these recipes from the archive.
