Listening Part 4

Narrator: A survey on how students learn and what's important to them, is being done at Eastwood Junior High School. Listen to a fifteenª²yearª²old student, Lee Ming, being interviewed. Fill in the questionnaire with notes on information you hear.

Interviewer:Ming, I'd like to ask you about your English studies. How do you learn English?

Ming: Well, I know the grammar well, but that doesn't help me speak English well. And because I don't have much chance to practice speaking, I learn the skill by listening to native English speakers as often as possible; on TV, or the radio, and I know it's rude, but I even listen to conversations in cafes, or on the train! Staying with an English speaking family would be really helpful, if it were possible. I hope to do that one day.

Interviewer: It sounds as if you really like English. What's your dream?

Ming: My dream is to speak English fluently, so that I can get a job at the Olympic Games in China in 2008.

Interviewer: That might be volunteer work, right? So do you think volunteer work is important?

Ming: Yes, I do. My friends and I already do some community work in our own time. But I think we should be allowed to do more, as a school project.

Interviewer: Really? I'd ask your teacher about that, if I were you. And one last question ¡ª what do you think about protecting the environment?

Ming: That's a big question ¡ª too difficult to answer quickly. But my class is interested, and last week, we debated the issue of what zoos are for. We all agree that they should be places where endangered animals can be protected, so we must make sure zoos provide the right environment for the animals, not just put them in small cages.

Interviewver: Well, it's been nice talking to you. Thanks for agreeing to answer questions.

Ming: You're welcome. I enjoyed it too.
