3 . Conversation 1
Teacher: Shh! Listen carefully!
Teacher: Did you hear that? No? How about this?
Teacher: If you couldn’t hear the first one, it means you’re not a dog! [Laugh.] Dogs can hear very high frequency sounds, but people can’t. And if you could hear the second one, you’re younger than 25.
Student: Wow! Why is that?
Teacher: Our ears change when we get older. Children and young people can hear the second one, but most people older than 25 can’t.
Conversation 2
Teacher: Today’s topic is “Should teenagers date?” Team A, please begin.
Team A: We say no, they shouldn’t. One reason is that teenagers are too young. They should think about schoolwork and spend more time studying.
Team B: We don’t agree with Team A. Our answer is Yes. Teenagers can date if they want. It is quite natural for a teenager at that age to feel he or she likes somebody. We think it’s possible for teenagers to date and study at the same time.
Teacher: Team A?
