PART B_1
Let’s read the dialogue. I will play Ron and you will play Emma. Then, we’ll switch roles.
PART B_2

Good morning, Emma! It’s nice to see you here in the park.
Oh, hi, Ron! I’m here to teach my dog some tricks. How about you? Is
your dog with you?

Yes, Curly is still in the car because I forgot to bring her leash.
I see. Well, I actually have a spare leash. I make sure to put Theo’s
leash and a spare one in my bag the night before. That’s one less thing
to worry about when I get ready in the morning. Here you go. You can put it on her.

Thanks, Emma. I like how you’re always ready. So, how often do you train Theo?
I do it at least three times a week. It may take up some time now, but
come to think of it, it will surely pay off later on.

I think so. It’s also a good way to bond with your pet. I’m sure your dog will trust you more easily if you do it that often.
You should train Curly too! I know it’s not your thing, but I’m certain that
you’ll get a kick out of it.

Alright, but I don’t know where to start.
You can find tutorial videos online. And when you’re ready, just give it
your best shot! And you don’t have to force your pet to learn the tricks. If
Curly learns the tricks, then that’s just the icing on the cake!

Look what I got! It’s a collector’s item toy car. There are only 19 pieces of this in the world.
Oh, that’s the reason you’re on cloud nine. It does look unique and
pricey. How much did you get it for?

You can’t be serious! That’s daylight robbery!

It’s alright. I paid it with my salary from my part-time job.
Okay, but yeah, I don’t think your mom will be happy about that.

It’s going to be the latest addition to my collection. And looking at my collection is my way of relieving stress after a long day. It may be pricey, but it’s totally worth it.
I think I know where you’re coming from.

But I know that I should set my priorities straight. I mean, I don’t want to be broke.

America is a country where equality between women and men is important. American women officially launched their fight for equal rights in 1848, in Seneca Falls, New York. It wasn’t until 1920 that women in America were granted a legal right to vote in civic elections. The famous Nineteenth Amendment gave them this right. More and more women are joining the labor market in America. These days, roughly 65% of American workers are women. However, on average, male workers in America still make about 22% more money than their female counterparts. It seems that the road to full gender equality in America is a long one.

told our mother the secret plan.

Of course, we conceded. Our plan was busted.

That’s sad to hear, but did the party go well?

PART B_2

Hello, Emma. I saw you walking yesterday afternoon.
Yeah. I was. I decided to commute home on foot.

Why is that so? Was it to kill time?
No, It is not about killing time. My doctor recommended me to take it easy.
I have been stressed out these past few weeks because of too much workload.

I see. I think that is a good thing to do.
I agree. Physical activity boosts brain function and memory,
two factors that influence performance. As a result, it’s likely that
healthy people who are physically active have greater cognitive
capacity at work.

I couldn’t agree more.
You know, I am always in awe when I see tall buildings around
when I commute on foot. After a few weeks, the change is
beyond belief. Would you like to join me in commuting on foot?

America is truly a melting pot of the world’s ethnic groups. Roughly 80% of Americans are considered “white,” 13% are African American, and 4.5% are “Asian.” The rest are natives of Alaska, Hawaii, or another Pacific island. About 15% of the population come from Spanish-speaking countries. These people come from places like Spain, Mexico, and Central or South America. In fact, most people in America have immigrant backgrounds. A typical “white” person in America might be part British, part German, and even part Italian.

Question:
First, read the following passage about “melting pot” and “salad bowl.” Then, based on your understanding of the concepts, describe how Japan is doing as far as the issue of immigration is concerned.

The USA has traditionally been referred to as a typical case of a “melting pot.” Generations of immigrants have melted together. They have abandoned their cultures to get assimilated into mainstream society. Today, however, cultural diversity is considered a positive thing globally, and people of different cultures try to live in harmony in much of the world. This model of racial integration is called a “salad bowl.” In a bowl of salad, the lettuce, tomatoes, and carrots come together, but they do not lose their unique features.
