PASSAGE READING

READ

The human auditory system is the sensory system responsible for detecting different sounds from long distances. It is made up of two main parts: the ear and the brain. The ear is the organ of hearing. It transforms sound energy into neural signals. On the other hand, the brain is an organ inside the head that controls bodily functions essential for survival. It is the one that receives and processes the information delivered by neural signals.

SAMPLE ANSWER

According to the passage, people detect sounds with their auditory system which is responsible for detecting different sounds from long distances. The two main parts of the auditory system are the ear and the brain.

The human auditory system is the sensory system responsible for detecting different sounds from long distances. It is made up of two main parts: the ear and the brain. The ear is the organ of hearing. It transforms sound energy into neural signals. On the other hand, the brain is an organ inside the head that controls bodily functions essential for survival. It is the one that receives and processes the information delivered by neural signals.
I will discuss how the sound travels into the ear. The source of sounds produce waves of pressure that travel through particles in fluids. When the fluid travels through the ear, it triggers a signal that travels through the hair cell, into the auditory nerve then forth the brain. For example, the sound from a mosquito produces waves of pressure that the ears transfer into the fluid and travels inside our ear and onto our brain. That’s when the brain interprets specific sounds.
After the brain interprets the sound, it now has to identify where the sound is coming from. It collaborates then again with the two ears. When the sound is coming from directly in front of you, both of your ears will hear the same quality and respond at the same time. When a mosquito is on your left, your brain uses both of your ears to detect where it is located. So, when a mosquito is in front of you, you get to hear its sound with the same quality on both ears. It makes our hearing a spectacular system.

2. What is the professor talking about in the lecture?
The professor is talking about the science of hearing, the topic mentioned in the passage.
3. Please explain the idea that the professor introduces first by using the example.
First, the passage introduces how the ear works. The professor explains that the sound a mosquito creates is an example of a sound that travels inside our ear onto our brain, which the brain interprets.
4. Please explain the idea that the professor introduces next by using the example.
The second idea is that the brain identifies where the sound is coming from after it has been interpreted. The professor illustrates how the brain works with an example of a mosquito in different locations.
5. What does the professor conclude in the lecture?
Both ears’ task of transferring the sound a mosquito creates and the brain’s task of locating where the sound a mosquito creates comes from are examples of how the science of hearing works.

Urban Areas

Nowadays, a lot of people from rural areas choose to move to urban areas. One of their main reasons is poverty. Most people from rural areas believe that cities, which are also called urban areas, can give them more opportunities. They take the risk of moving despite being unsure if there are job opportunities awaiting them.
According to a research, almost half of the world’s population is living in urban areas. The rising population in these areas has led to multiple problems. Because of this, the government implemented projects that will ensure people’s access to affordable housing and healthcare services. They have also invested in various programs that will improve public transportation in urban areas.

READ

Pets and Wild Animals

The most common pets around the world are dogs and cats. On the other hand, some people like to take care of wild animals such as bears, snakes, and lions. Keeping wild animals as pets is not safe both for animals and owners. It is important for wild animals to live in their natural home because keeping them as pets could be stressful for them. They can also be dangerous for humans because most wild animals are meat-eaters. On the other hand, pets like dogs, cats, and hamsters need humans to live. They need people to provide their basic needs such as food and shelter.
