Question: The students discuss suggestions for dealing with a problem the woman is having. Describe the problem. Then state what you think of the suggested solutions, and explain why.
Sample answer: In this conversation, The two students are talking about a problem she is having with the tennis team and her classes. The problem is that she spends too much time on tennis, she doesn t spend enough time on classes, and she s not doing well in her classes as a result. The man suggests that she plan her time better. She should write down a schedule that includes her study time each day until it is natural for her to make better use of her time. I think (But as far as I am concerned,) she should plan her time more carefully and maybe to write down her plan until it s natural for her to make good use of her time. She enjoys playing tennis, so it would be sad for her to give it up, and I do think that it s possible for her to take part in sports and also be a good student. I think that the problem is not that she doesn t have enough time. the problem is that she is not making the best use of the time that she has.
