However, in the listening, the woman disagrees with this proposal for several reasons. Firstly, she believes that students should be studying consistently throughout the semester rather than cramming in the last few days. She argues that a longer study period would only encourage procrastination and ineffective learning. Secondly, she points out that professors are extremely busy during the end of the semester with grading and preparing exams. As a result, they might not have the time to meet with students or answer their questions during this period. This would make it difficult for students to get the help they need, thereby negating one of the main benefits of extending the study period.", "n_revised_paragraphs": 1, "n_revised_sentences": 7, "revised_words": 141, "revised_speaking_statistics": "{"words": 141, "unique_words": 97}"} {"example_audio": "https://lingoleapcdn-c4b3fvbvaxg2d4c5.z01.azurefd.net/audio/aedOd48Wfb8r.mp3?se=2024-11-14T06%3A35%3A40Z&sp=r&sv=2023-01-03&sr=b&sig=le3vHYOIporwBjKN4HdU6enbA%2BjCCf6dO8vtaPOOeTo%3D"} {"mindmap": {"Preference or Opinion": {"Main Point": "Disagreement with extending the study period before exams", "Supporting Examples": ["Students can't learn effectively just a few days before exams", "Beneficial to have a long-term study schedule", "Professors will be too busy to help students right before exams"]}}, "keywords": [{"word": "Beneficial", "phonetic_symbol": "/\u02ccb\u025bn\u026a\u02c8f\u026a\u0283\u0259l/", "part_of_speech": "adjective", "definition": "Producing good or helpful results or effects", "sample_sentence": "It is beneficial to have a schedule for study during a long period."}, {"word": "Schedule", "phonetic_symbol": "/\u02c8sk\u025bd\u0292u\u02d0l/", "part_of_speech": "noun", "definition": "A plan for carrying out a process or procedure, giving lists of intended events and times", "sample_sentence": "Having a study schedule is crucial for effective learning."}, {"word": "Effectively", "phonetic_symbol": "/\u026a\u02c8f\u025bkt\u026avli/", "part_of_speech": "adverb", "definition": "In such a manner as to achieve a desired result", "sample_sentence": "Students can't learn effectively just a few days before exams."}, {"word": "Preparation", "phonetic_symbol": "/\u02ccpr\u025bp\u0259\u02c8re\u026a\u0283\u0259n/", "part_of_speech": "noun", "definition": "The action or process of making ready or being made ready for use or consideration", "sample_sentence": "Proper preparation over time leads to better exam performance."}, {"word": "Assistance", "phonetic_symbol": "/\u0259\u02c8s\u026ast\u0259ns/", "part_of_speech": "noun", "definition": "The action of helping someone with a job or task", "sample_sentence": {"opinion": "Professors will be too busy to provide assistance right before exams.", "example": "For instance, professors often have multiple responsibilities and may not have time to help students prepare for their exams at the last minute."}}]} {"additional_examples": ["One sub-opinion is that extending the study period can lead to better retention of information. For example, a student who studies consistently over several weeks is more likely to remember the material compared to cramming all the information in a few days. This approach allows for better understanding and long-term retention.", "Another sub-opinion is that having a longer study period reduces stress and anxiety. For instance, students who spread out their study sessions over a longer period are less likely to feel overwhelmed and more likely to approach their exams with confidence. This can lead to better performance and overall well-being.", "A third sub-opinion is that extended study periods allow for more in-depth learning. For example, students can take the time to explore topics in greater detail, ask questions, and seek clarification from professors or peers. This deeper understanding can enhance their critical thinking skills and application of knowledge.", "A fourth sub-opinion is that it promotes better time management skills. Students who plan their study schedule over an extended period learn to manage their time effectively, balancing study with other responsibilities like work or extracurricular activities. This skill is valuable not only for exams but also for future professional and personal life.", "Lastly, a sub-opinion is that it provides opportunities for collaborative learning. When students have more time before exams, they can form study groups, discuss concepts, and help each other understand difficult topics. For example, group discussions can provide different perspectives and insights that might not be gained through individual study alone."]}
