groundbreaking work in physics and cosmology, and whose books helped to make science
accessible to everyone.
When he was young, He dominated his Oxford entrance exams to score a scholarship to
study physics at age 17.
At age 21, while studying cosmology at the University of Cambridge, he was diagnosed
with amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS). It happened after falling while ice skating during his
first year as a grad student at Cambridge University. He was predicted that his life was not
more than 2.5 year ahead. He didn’t give up, his loss of motor skills forced the burgeoning
cosmologist to become more creative.
Hawking's vision ultimately was realized, as A Brief History of Time landed on the

I personally believe that libraries are among humanity’s most important institutions for
several reasons.
Firstly, most of humanity’s collective knowledge is stored in libraries. Secondly, libraries
protect and preserve this knowledge. They also classify or group the materials into logical and
easily available divisions.
Furthermore, libraries make the materials available to everyone and even provide
librarians to help us find what we need.
Finally, libraries are our link to the past and our gift to the future.
From the facts above, I conclude that libraries are important institutions for humanity.

Number eight
Kids surround themselves with social media and electronics. Schools should not allow
social media during school hours, due to the fact of bullying, self-esteem, and the distraction.
Bullying in schools can be verbal and cyber, having social media in schools can allow
cyber bullying to increase making others feel bad.
Banning social media or even phones from schools would allow students to feel safe
for a period of time, and could potentially do a lot for some situations.
I believe schools should ban social media and/or phones from schools due to reasons
above. Social media should be a privilege.

Number nine
I'd like to welcome all of you to what is, the most unusual course offered by the
biology department-the Ecology of Coral Reefs which is unique for the research methods. We
don't just collect data from the library but we’ll go to Virgin Islands to do field studies.
To prepare you for this trip, we'll first do some formal classroom work in biology.
We'll also practice scuba diving and to learn the basics of underwater photography. And we'll
be talking about precautions you must take to avoid damaging the reef. A coral reef is a very
fragile environment. Any questions?

Once upon a time, there was a king who ruled a prosperous kingdom. One day, he
went for a trip. When he was back, he complained that his feet were very painful, because
the road was very rough and stony. He then ordered his people to cover every road in the
kingdom with leather.
Then one of his wise servants dared himself to tell the king, “Why do you have to
spend that unnecessary amount of money? Why don’t you just cut a little piece of leather to
cover your feet?” The king agreed to make a “shoe” for himself.

Narrator : What thing was discussed in the monolog?

Tana Toraja is the home of the Toraja people. It is safely protected beyond the lofty
mountains and rugged granite cliffs of the central highlands of the island of Sulawesi.
'Discovered' and opened to the world from their long isolation only since the beginning of the
last century, the Toraja today still adhere to their age-old beliefs, rituals and traditions,
although many people are modernized or have embraced Christianity.
The nobility of Toraja are believed to be descendants of heavenly beings who came
down by a heavenly stairway to live here on earth in this beautiful landscape. To keep up the
energy of the land and its people, the Toraja people believe that these must be sustained
through rituals that celebrate both life and death. Tourists to Toraja, therefore, are attracted
by its unique culture and rituals, most of which are mostly centered around graves and death
ceremonies.
