PART B_2
A Clean Environment for Everyone
All living things on Earth, such as humans, animals, and plants are supported by the environment. It provides food, water, shelter, and everything that is essential for daily survival. Humans’ choices and actions affect the health of the environment which also affects humans’ health, economies, and communities.
The environment can greatly affect humans’ health. Research about human health proves that being in a clean environment can affect humans’ health by improving their attention, boosting their moods, and making their bodies fight against different diseases. That is the reason why it is important for humans to maintain a clean environment, especially in the places where they live in. However, due to activities in the modern world, the environment is getting damaged day by day. Air and water pollution have become major problems in most parts of the world. Toxic pollutants affect the quality of air and water through man-made chemicals from households and factories. Exposure to these pollutants could make humans at risk for diseases and weaken their body defenses. In addition to that, unborn babies could also be at risk for physical abnormalities that could affect their lives in the long run. Nowadays, there are many ways in which everyone could join in cleaning the environment. One of the most popular ways is recycling. By recycling materials, the amount of waste that causes pollution could be lessened. Another way is reusing materials such as plastic bags and water bottles to lessen the use of fossil fuel that is required to make plastic materials.
Looking after the environment is every human’s responsibility. It is important to make Earth a better place for future generations.

Walt Disney
Walter Elias Disney, also known as Walt Disney, pioneered animated cartoon films. He is famous for creating cartoons such as Mickey Mouse and Donald Duck.
Disney wanted to become a cartoonist for a newspaper ever since he was in high school. So, he worked as a photographer and made drawings for their school paper while studying cartooning on the side.
In 1919, Disney worked in a commercial art studio where he met Ub Iwerks, a young artist who significantly contributed to his success. They started their own small studio in 1922 where they created one and two-minute animated films and produced a series of animated films. Unfortunately, Disney was forced to file for bankruptcy in 1923 after a New York film distributor took advantage of their works.
The unexpected success of one of his first animated films forced Disney to reopen his business in Hollywood together with his brother Roy. Walt was also able to convince Iwerks to work with them.
Over the years, they produced full length animated films that became popular all over the world. They did not limit their business to making animated films. Walt’s creative mind enabled them to build a huge amusement park that captured the hearts of many people; the children and the young at heart.

Housing Project
Ban Shigeru, a Japanese architect, started the Voluntary Architect’s Network (VAN) in the year 1995. It is an NGO that aims to help the victims of natural disasters such as earthquakes. Although relief houses are only temporary, he believes that they should be beautiful as they would be very significant for displaced people because they are also damaged spiritually so it is important for them to see something beautiful.
A survivor of 3/11 was so happy upon moving into Ban’s housing in Miyagi. He said that it was his first time to feel a real sense of relief since the disaster. Many people wanted to stay in Miyagi housing for good.
In 2014, Ban won the Pritzker Architecture Prize which some people call the Nobel Prize of architecture. One of the judges said that it is nice to see a first-rate architect put an effort to help disaster victims. This award encourages him to keep on helping people. Ban promises that he will continuously look for ways to grow both in disaster relief and designing new buildings.

PART B_2
Growing up in America with Japanese parents made a Japanese girl realize the differences in parenting styles between Japanese and American parents. She mentioned that American parents encourage their children by giving praises. They like to give compliments every day by recognizing even their smallest efforts. While Japanese parents praise their children lesser than the Americans. For instance, her American classmate would get a big hug from her parents even if she only got B’s on her report card. Meanwhile, her parents would often say that she should have studied better despite getting an A+. Because of that, it made her realize that she must work harder to achieve greater things in life. But on the other hand, it made her less confident and became reluctant in trying new things.
She believes that constructive criticism is an important tool for children to learn things, however, she could not help but notice how Japanese and American parents give encouragement. Her parent’s way of motivating is by telling her that she will end up jobless if she does not study harder. Meanwhile, her best friend’s mother would motivate her by saying things positively which made her look forward to it.
In the end, she realized that Americans prefer that style to ensure that they establish smooth communication with their children. While the Japanese prefer to praise their children less to make sure that they would not become conceited. In parenting, it is a matter of preference, there is no right or wrong.

PART B_2
Poisonous animals can kill other living things by using poison. However, the poisonous substances inside their bodies do not affect them at all. They use one of the two basic strategies to avoid getting poisoned. Some animals use the first strategy wherein they keep the components of their poison in separate compartments. Others use the second strategy wherein they improve their bodies to become more resistant to poison.
PART C_1
I will read aloud the lecture part for 90 seconds. Please take down notes while I am reading. After that, please read aloud the lecture part.
PART C_2
Have you ever wondered how poisonous animals get to poison other living things but never themselves? In this lesson, we will be discussing the two basic strategies they use: securing the storage of toxins inside their bodies and gradually developing their ability to resist poison.
Let’s start with the first strategy. Some poisonous animals securely store the components of their poison inside their bodies. But why does it not affect them? Let’s use the bombardier beetle as an example. This kind of beetle prevents poisoning itself by keeping the components of its caustic spray in two different compartments located in its abdomen. When the components get mixed together, they create a violent chemical reaction that sends out caustic spray. The spray gets shot out of the glands but does not affect the beetle as it passes through a hardened chamber that protects the beetle’s organs.
The second strategy focuses on animals improving their ability to resist poison by producing special proteins that inactivate the toxin in their blood. Just like bombardier beetles, snakes also keep their venom in a special compartment located behind their eyes. However, as for snakes, they let a small amount of venom run throughout their bloodstream so they can strengthen their immunity to poison.
These two basic strategies help poisonous animals to be safe and immune to their own toxins.

A professor is talking about the reasons why poisonous animals do not poison themselves, the topic mentioned in the passage. According to the passage, poisonous animals prevent poisoning themselves by securely storing the toxic chemicals inside their bodies and developing their ability to resist poison. The professor gives two examples as to how poisonous animals prevent themselves from being poisoned. The first point in the passage explains that animals do not poison themselves because they keep the components of their toxins in two different chambers. The professor mentions that a bombardier beetle prevents poisoning itself by keeping the components of its caustic spray in two different compartments located in its abdomen. The second point in the passage explains that animals improve their bodies to become more resistant to poison. The professor mentions that animals produce special proteins to inactivate the toxin in their blood and they let a small amount of toxin to run throughout their bloodstream to strengthen their immunity.

PART E_2
Colorblindness is a condition where people cannot tell certain colors. Most people who are colorblind simply cannot differentiate colors. For example, they see blue as purple and pink. Humans make their own interpretations of colors through retinal cone cells found in humans’ eyes that respond to wavelengths of light reflected from objects that are different in colors. Meanwhile, colorblind people cannot form their own interpretations of colors because their eyes do not respond in the same way as those of people with normal vision.
PART F_1
I will read aloud the lecture part for 90 seconds. Please take down notes while I am reading. After that, please read aloud the lecture part.
PART F_2
Let’s talk about the speech by Bryan Kett who is colorblind. Colorblindness is a condition where people cannot tell certain colors. Kett explained in one of his speeches how and what people with colorblindness see. People with color blind simply cannot differentiate colors. For example, he sees green as reddish or brownish. While blue looks purple and pink. So, if you show him a green shirt, he would see it as brown but unsure of it. However, he is certain that it is not blue.
Humans make their own interpretations of colors through retinal cone cells found in humans’ eyes that respond to wavelengths of light reflected from objects that are different in colors. These cells pass information to the brain. So, people who have standard vision see different colors because their cones trigger in specific ratios which create a unique response that tells the specific color of the objects. Meanwhile, it is not the same case for colorblind people. Their cones are not in the same ratios which do not create a unique response. That is why they do not see the specific colors of the object.

A professor is talking about colorblindness, the topic mentioned in the passage. According to the passage, colorblindness is a condition where people cannot tell certain colors. The professor gives two examples of how and what do people with colorblindness see. The first point in the passage explains that most people who are colorblind simply cannot differentiate colors. The professor mentions that people with colorblindness see green as reddish or brownish and blue as purple and pink. So, if you show a colorblind person a green shirt, he or she would see it as brown. The second point in the passage explains that humans make their own interpretations of colors through retinal cone cells found in humans’ eyes that respond to wavelengths of light reflected from objects that are different in colors. Meaning, people with colorblindness do not trigger their cones in the same ratios. This is the reason why they do not see specific colors of objects.

The statue of Ashura was first created in 734. It has survived nearly 1,300 years. However, cracks have developed on its faces and the original colors have changed. A replica with its original colors can be seen at the Nara National Museum.
Influenced by ancient Greece, a golden ornament is worn by the replica. It wears a sash which reminds of ancient India. While its red-colored skin suggests its connection to the sun god of ancient Persia. Under the ancient Greek art’s influence, the first Buddhists statues were made. As the Chinese got influenced by the West, it made a great change in Japanese art.
The Ashura has many differences from other Hachibushu. It has six arms, three faces, and a sash on its shoulders while armor is worn by the other statues. Also, the human expressions on its faces make it appear lifelike. An expert named Hirashima Hiroshi explains that Ashura’s eyes in its three faces go up which means it is mature. People always wonder what Ashura’s facial expressions mean. The left face shows anger, its right face shows regret and pain, and its central face expresses repentance.
Many people prayed for purification and worshipped Ashura as it gives them a sense of healing which could be the reason why many people are attracted to the statue.

PART B_2
A Japanese who grew up in the U.S. shared her observation about the difference in parenting style between Japanese and American parents. American parents praise their children more often than Japanese parents. They like to give compliments to their children even for minor achievements. While on the other hand, children who have Japanese parents receive lesser compliments. This somewhat made her feel less confident.
Although she believes that constructive criticism is a way for children to improve themselves, she could not help but compare how American and Japanese parents encourage their children. Her Japanese parents would always tell her things like “if you do not study hard, you will end up jobless and homeless.” Meanwhile, her American best friend’s mother would always give her advice on how she can reach her goals despite them being difficult.
All in all, she realized that Americans do that style of parenting to ensure smooth communication with their children. While Japanese parents do not praise their children too much because they worry that it might make them too confident. So, we can say that it is a matter of preference which they think would work for the best.

Getting along with stress
Stress is the body’s reaction to new situations that require people to cope with it. It usually starts when people find themselves tired and unable to catch up with the demands. Although this is a normal part of one’s life and cannot be avoided, experiencing frequent stress might lead to health problems such as anxiety disorder and depression. So, it is important for people to manage stress.
There are a lot of ways to manage stress. Some of which are time management, classifying tasks, problem-focused, and emotion-focused. Time management is an important skill that everyone should develop. It is important for people to know the most important things they need to finish. This way, they will know the things that they should focus on. Then, those less important things should be scheduled at a later time. Classifying their tasks based on their importance and urgency could also come in handy. If people were given an important and urgent task, do it right away so they can free their mind from thinking too much about the things they need to accomplish. Being able to solve and find solutions to the problem during difficult situations would help reduce stress. Also, people should learn how to take note of their feelings and handle it well by breathing deeply when dealing with stressful events.
