Question 1
If I think about this topic I would have to say that it's extremely essential to learn about other cultures for a variety of reasons. The first and most primary reason would perhaps be broadening one's horizon because learning other cultures allows the person to get out of its cultural boundaries and look at the phenomenon of culture as a whole from outside. In addition seconds equally important reason why it is important to learn about other cultures yes making new friends from other cultures and creating long-lasting relationships. More arguments in support of learning about other cultures are easily adapting to the place where the person may travel and new career opportunities.
Question 2
The reading passage gives information about university choir. Currently, the university choir gives singing concerts only on campus. Next year, however, the choir will add competitive events at other locations to its schedule. The choir's new director feels that entering singing competitions will make the quality of the choir's performance even better than it is now. "Competitions will motivate students in the choir to pursue a higher standard of excellence in singing," he said. In addition, it is hoped that getting the choir off-campus and out in the public will strengthen the reputation of the university s music program. This in turn will help the program grow.
The man in the conversation really likes the plan described in the reading passage. He thinks the new director's right that it will motivate choir members. He says some of the other schools are really good, so they will really have to work hard to go up against them. Right now they don't rehearse more than once a week, but if they know they would be competing with other schools, they probably rehearse more often and improve their singing a lot. He says this will help the program. Their program is pretty small, but they have some really talented people, and it would be great to attract even more people. If they go to these off-campus events and other people hear them and think they are really good, they might be able to get some new students interested in coming to this university to be a part of their music program and perform in their choir concerts.
Question 3
The reading passage is taken from a biology textbook and about relic behavior in animals. In general, animals act in ways that help them to survive within their specific habitats. However, sometimes an animal species may display behavior that no longer serves a clear purpose. The original purpose for the behavior may have disappeared long ago, even thousands of years before. These behaviors, known as relict behaviors, were useful to the animal when the species' habitat was different: but now, because of changed conditions, the behavior no longer serves its original purpose. Leftover from an earlier time, the behavior remains as a relict, or remnant, long after the environmental circumstance that influenced its evolution has vanished.
The professor in the lecture says example of this, found in North America, is something an animal called the American pronghorn. Pronghorns are a kind of deer-like animal. They live out on the open, grassy plains, somewhat in the middle of North America. And they are super fast. Pronghorns are noted for being the fastest animal in the Western Hemisphere. Once a pronghorn starts running, none of its present-day predators, like the bobcat or coyote can even hope to catch up with it. The reason for this she explains tens of thousands of years ago lions used to live on the plains, chasing and preying upon the pronghorns. And lions, of course, are a very swift moving mammal, much faster than the bobcat or coyote or other predators on the plains today. But now lions are all extinct in North America. They're no longer a predator of the pronghorn. Tens of thousands of years ago, though, the lions were there, chasing the pronghorns. So, back then, the pronghorn's speed was critical to its survival. She explains the speed at which pronghorns run is a relic behavior that pronghorns still have.
Question 4
The given lecture is from a business class. The professor is talking about target customers. People who are likely to buy a company's product are called target customers. And these target customers influence a company's marketing strategy. In order to develop a marketing strategy, a company will look at certain characteristics of the target customers to decide when and where to advertise, so that they'll reach the target customers most effectively. There are two major characteristics of target customers that can influence marketing strategy, specifically age and geographic location of the target customers. The professor gives an example of a company which makes toy cars. Its target customers are children and if the company wants to make sure its television advertising reaches its target customers, it would want to advertise during times when kids are actually watching television, like during children's television shows. That way it can make sure that kids see the advertisements. And that way the company would get people in that age group to go buy toy cars, or to ask their parents to buy them at least. And another important characteristic to consider is geographic location, places where the company's target customers live. The professor gives an example of a company that makes boats. Its target customers are people who own homes near oceans or lakes, places where they can use boats. By placing advertisements on signs along the road or on television in cities and towns that are near oceans or lakes, the company would be more likely to reach the target customers for its votes, and sell more of them as a result.
