PART B_1

You will read aloud the passage below. I will check your pronunciation and intonation.
(Please send the mispronounced words and expressions to your student.)

PART B_2

The Relationship Between Money and Happiness
A study by Professor David Clingingsmith of the Case Western University proves that money can buy happiness at some point. They found out that a person’s income is linked to his or her emotions and views in life. Also, people tend to have lesser negative emotions with increasing salaries.
The Panel Study of Income Dynamics checked on people’s level of negative emotions by asking how frequent they experience negative feelings. Clingingsmith used this data to prove that salary increase can decrease people’s negative emotions. It shows that household income is linked to the emotions of people in a family. Though negative emotions are believed to be linked to lower income, it does not only depend on that. The results are similar to the data from the Gallup Organization in the Gallup-Healthways Well-Being Index (GHWBI) which is based on a single person’s income rather than household income. To look into their social and economic situations, a group of people was asked to rate the quality of their lives from 0, meaning the worst possible, to 10, which means the best possible. Some people naturally talk about each other’s lives and salaries so, it does not matter if they get over the negative emotions or not because they will still aim for higher salaries to avoid negative feelings. However, it is not the same for everyone. For example, a salary increase will not affect a very wealthy person’s feelings, but it will have a big effect on a poorer person’s feelings.
People work hard to improve the quality of their lives. They need to figure out the relationship between income and happiness to improve their positive emotions and achieve satisfaction in life.

PART B_3

Now, let’s review some words and expressions from part B_2.

PART B_1

Please read aloud the passage below. I will check your pronunciation and intonation.
(Please send the mispronounced words and expressions to your student.)

PART B_2

Have you ever wondered if it would be possible for humans to have a natural conversation with computers? Well, the answer is no. There are a lot of factors behind it. One of them is that the human language contains statements that are sometimes implicit in meaning. This kind of statements could not be understood by computers as they sound incomplete to them. Implicit statements convey messages that are not expressed clearly. For instance, the sentence “There’s a really good Italian restaurant near my house” could have different meanings depending on the situation. Some people may interpret this as simply giving information. While others may take this as an invitation to eat at the restaurant.

Listeners interpret implicit statements based on situations. So, to avoid confusions, a British linguist named Paul Grice came up with a rule of conversations which he called the Cooperative Principle. Grice suggested four standards to have a natural conversation which are the quantity, quality, relation, and manner. For quantity, speakers should give the proper amount of information needed. Meanwhile, they are also expected to give true and complete information. They should also give information that is relevant to the topic. Lastly, speakers should always be clear and direct.

Due to the kind of statement mentioned above, it would be impossible for humans and computers to converse in human language.
