1. Script

W: Many Chinese students are too shy to say anything in a classroom.

M: I think they don’t speak because their culture values modesty 1, and they don’t want to appear to be showing off. Goes back to Confucius.

Q: Why don’t Chinese students say anything in classroom according to the man?

2. Script

W: The government is doing something at last about sex discrimination in the workplace. Women deserve the same pay as men for the same work.

Q: What does the man say about women?

4. Script

M: Successful entrepreneurs are often self-made people who have a vision and know where they are going.

Q: What are the two speakers’ attitudes toward successful entrepreneurs?

5. Script

W: Do you agree that equal opportunity for all in an educational system is important?
