p230 task 2
some college students choose to take courses in a variety of subject areas in order to get a broad education. others choose to focus on a single subject area in order to have a deeper understanding of that area. which approach to course selection do you think is better for students and why?
it is hard to say because it depends on different situations. if the student is an undergraduate student, then it is a good idea to have a broad education, because an undergraduate student might work on different areas after graduation and a broad education will offer him a better chance of employment. on the other hand, it would be much better for graduate students to focus on one single area, because graduates are more research oriented and are aimed at becoming experts in his field. a deeper understanding of the subject will help him get closer towards his goals and lay him on a more solid foundation for his future career.

according to the listening passage, the man doesn’t like the university’s plan to stop the bus service. first, he thinks that the university bus should go through the area where most of the off-campus students live. the current route is certainly out of date. second, he believes that the university should encourage more students to use buses instead of discouraging them. in his opinion, using the money to expand the parking lot will encourage more students to drive, which will cause greater traffic problem and louder noise on campus. it may also result in a greater need for parking space.

p232 task 6
sample answer
according to the professor, there are two definition of money. the first is the broad definition. money is just a medium of exchange. so anything you can make purchases with is called money. for example, the taxi driver might give a ride to a farmer in exchange for some vegetables. in this case, vegetables are used in barter as a form of money.
the second one is the narrower definition of money. by the law of the united states, only coins and bills are legal money. therefore, the taxi driver must accept coins or bills as payment for a taxi ride. he can not accept vegetables in exchange for a ride. so the narrower definition of money is the legal tender in a society.
