Nicky: When I was an elementary school student, I would go to school at 6:00 am.
Kevin: It’s too early! Why did you have to go to school that early?
Nicky: Oh, classes were divided into two. There were morning classes and afternoon classes. It’s because there were 50 class sections in my school. Each class section had 70 students.
Kevin: Wow! That’s quite a lot. I don’t think that will happen in my country because of the aging population.
Nicky: Well, I’ve just learned some differences between Philippine and Japanese schools. Also, I heard that in Japan, schools serve lunch to students.

PASSAGE READING
Please read the passage silently for 45 seconds.
Then, please read the passage aloud.
READ
Learning a foreign language means more than just acquiring a second language for communication purposes. Language and culture reflect one another. By studying a certain language, the learner also gets to grasp the culture where the language is spoken. Another advantage of learning a foreign language is understanding other people’s feelings. Understanding other people’s feelings is about identifying the speaker’s emotions to interpret the intended message accurately. It comes with understanding not only one’s message but also the intention behind it.
LECTURE READING
I will read aloud the lecture part. Please take down notes while I am reading.
After that, please read aloud the lecture part.
READ
Today, English is the most common second language spoken in the world. Learning a foreign language can give two major benefits–first is learning about cultures, second is understanding people’s feelings.
Let me talk about the benefit of learning about cultures. When studying a foreign language, we also learn something about the culture behind it. Let’s have idioms as an example. Idioms are expressions that have another meaning aside from their original definition. Their origin is often based on the local customs where the language is spoken. For example, the idiom “know the ropes” means to know how to do a particular task. It began in the 19th century during the golden age of sailing where knowing how to handle the ropes is essential to operate a ship. This idiom is still in use even until now.
As for understanding other people’s feelings, it is said that people who can speak two or more languages have stronger intellectual abilities. Imagine that a foreigner in your country is asking for directions. As someone who understands other people’s feelings, you don’t only try to understand him through words. You also try to identify his emotions, so you understand him on a deeper level.
Studying a foreign language can widen a person’s perspective on various cultures. It also develops understanding of other people’s feelings which is essential when communicating in a foreign language.
QUESTION
Using the examples from the lecture, explain how learning a foreign language can give benefits other than just acquiring a second language for communication purposes.

According to the passage, learning a foreign language means more than just acquiring a second language for communication purposes.
The professor gives 2 examples of benefits of learning a foreign language. The first point in the passage is that language and culture reflect one another. The professor explains that the learner also gets to grasp the culture where the language is spoken because idioms are often based on local customs.
The second idea in the passage is that learning a foreign language helps students develop understanding of other people’s feelings.
The professor states that people who can speak two or more languages have stronger intellectual abilities. He says that people who understand other people’s feelings don’t only try to understand others through words. They also try to identify others’ emotions, so they could understand them on a deeper level.

Female:
Good morning.
Male:
Hi, have you seen the announcement?
Female:
Yes, I saw it a while ago.
We need to buy the new uniform before September.
Male:
I don’t like the new regulation.
Female:
Why?
Male:
First, a $60 uniform will be too expensive for students. We don’t have enough time to get a part-time job just to earn enough money to buy it. We have classes until 7:00 p.m. every day. I understand that they are doing this for our safety, but I think there are other ways to do that.
Female:
That’s true.
Male:
Also, the regulation is too strict. They said that we will not be allowed to attend any laboratory classes if we don’t wear the uniform. Laboratory classes are required in our course. We will fail if we could not attend it because of this new regulation.
Female:
I think the uniform is not necessary because we wear proper clothes anyway.
Male:
Well, I’ll find a way to buy one. I don’t want to fail my laboratory classes.
