Revised Answer (140 words):

The passage introduces the concept of subliminal perception, which is the perception of stimuli beyond our conscious awareness, such as an image too fast for our eyes to see or a sound too faint for our ears to hear. The lecturer then provides an example of an experiment where participants watch TV, and an image is flashed so quickly that it is barely noticeable. The image features a boy with a birthday cake. One group saw an image of the boy angrily throwing the cake on the floor, while the other group saw him happily holding it. Next, both groups were shown a third image of the boy with a neutral expression, and they were asked to describe his personality. The group that saw the angry boy described him negatively, while the group that saw the happy boy described him positively.

Original: In the professor's example, there were two girls, In the professor's example, there were two groups, (原文中提到的是两组人，而不是两个女孩) and they were asked to say a picture, and they were asked to view a picture, (使用“view”替换“say”，使句子更自然) and the picture flashed quickly on the screen. And the picture described a boy with a birthday cake. And the first group saw the boy who looked very angry, and the second group saw the boy with a big smile. And after that, they were asked to say a third picture, where the boy held a cake, and there was no emotion on his face. And after that, they were asked to describe the personality of the boy, and the first group who saw the angry boy described the boy negatively, while the second group described the boy positively.

Revised (140 words): Subliminal perception is when we perceive stimuli just below our conscious awareness threshold. In the professor's experiment, two groups of participants were asked to view an image that flashed quickly on a screen. The image depicted a boy with a birthday cake, showing anger in one version and happiness in another. Afterward, participants viewed a third image of the same boy holding a cake with a neutral expression. They were then asked to describe his personality. Those who had seen the angry version perceived him negatively, while those who had seen the happy version perceived him positively. This experiment demonstrates how subliminally perceived stimuli can influence our thoughts and attitudes, even when we are not consciously aware of them.

Revised version (140 words):

Subliminal perception is a phenomenon involving the perception of stimuli without conscious awareness. In the experiment, two groups of people received subliminal perception from different images. The first group perceived an image of an angry boy, while the second group perceived an image of a smiling and happy boy. The participants were unaware of these images as they appeared very briefly. Their subliminal perceptions influenced their subsequent attitudes towards the boy. When presented with a third image of the boy with a neutral expression, the participants provided different evaluations based on their previous subliminal exposure. The first group, who had seen the angry boy, evaluated him negatively, while the second group, who had seen the happy boy, evaluated him positively. This experiment effectively illustrates the concept of subliminal perception and its impact on people's thoughts and attitudes.

The speaker's delivery is generally clear and fluid, but there are some occasional pauses that disrupt the flow. To improve, the speaker should practice speaking more consistently and work on reducing unnecessary pauses. Additionally, focusing on accurate pronunciation will help eliminate any spelling errors that may arise from mispronunciation.

4.Topic Development The response provides a coherent and well-organized explanation of subliminal perception and the experiment discussed by the professor. However, there is room for improvement in providing more specific details and examples to support the explanation. To enhance topic development, the speaker should focus on elaborating on key points and connecting them more explicitly to the concept of subliminal perception.

5.Language Use

The passage talks about subliminal perception Subliminal Perception(capitalize the term as it is a specific concept). It means that the perception of a stimulus below the threshold of conscious awareness, so people won't notice the change. And the professor gives an example, illustrating an experiment. So there are two groups of people watching TV and the TV image lasting for less than one second. And the first group will see a boy looking angry with a cake. And the second group will see a boy smiling holding the cake. And then the two groups of people will see a picture of the boy with no emotions. But when they are asked the emotions about their impressions(replace "the emotions" with "their impressions" for clarity), they will just remember the first emotion, looking angry or looking

(Reasons and explanations: The term "Subliminal Perception" should be capitalized as it is a specific concept. The phrase "the emotions" should be replaced with "their impressions" for clarity.)

Revised Answer (140 words):

Subliminal Perception refers to perceiving stimuli below the threshold of conscious awareness, making people unaware of these changes. The professor illustrates this phenomenon through an experiment involving two groups watching TV. Each group sees an image lasting less than a second, depicting a boy with a cake. The first group sees an angry boy, while the second group sees a smiling boy. Subsequently, both groups view another image of the same boy with no emotions.

When asked about their impressions of the boy, participants unknowingly base their responses on their initial exposure to either the angry or smiling image. This demonstrates how subliminal perception influences people's thoughts and attitudes without their conscious awareness, as they only recall the first emotion, either anger or happiness, when describing the boy's personality.

Revised Answer (140 words):

The passage introduces a concept called subliminal perception, a phenomenon in which people can perceive stimuli without conscious awareness. In the lecture, the professor provides an example through an experiment to illustrate this concept. Two groups of participants watch TV with a brief image appearing on the screen. The image features a boy holding a cake; however, in one version he appears angry and throws the cake, while in the other he appears happy and offers the cake. Subsequently, both groups view a neutral image of the boy holding the cake without any emotion. When asked to describe the boy's personality, participants from the first group perceive him negatively, while those from the second group perceive him positively. This experiment demonstrates the impact of subliminal perception on people's judgments and attitudes.

4.Topic Development The response does describe subliminal perception and the experiment discussed by the professor. However, the organization and clarity of the response could be improved.

Original: Subliminal perception is that we can perceive things unconsciously, such as very minor, very quick pictures and very distinct voices. The professor gave an experiment on this phenomenon. First, there are two groups of people who are showing a boy, a picture of a boy, very quickly. And the boy will have emotions. For one group, the emotion is happy. Another, the emotion is angry. And then the professor showed them the picture of the boy without any emotions and asked their personality. The group with the angry boy got negative,

(when: more natural phrasing; brief: more concise; faint: correct word choice; conducted: more appropriate verb; shown a picture of a boy: clearer phrasing; For the other group: clearer phrasing; about his: correct pronoun)

Revised (140 words): Subliminal perception occurs when we unconsciously perceive stimuli, such as brief images and faint sounds. The professor conducted an experiment to illustrate this phenomenon. Two groups of participants were shown a picture of a boy displaying an emotion for a very short duration. One group saw the boy with a happy expression, while the other group saw him with an angry expression. Afterward, the professor presented a neutral image of the boy without any emotions and asked the participants to describe his personality. The group that had been exposed to the angry image tended to describe the boy's personality negatively, whereas the group that had seen the happy image described him positively. This experiment demonstrates how subliminal perception can influence people's thoughts and attitudes without their conscious awareness.
