Part 3
Post-listening
Task 7: Discussion and speaking.
Reference sentence patterns
Express opinions: I think... / In my opinion... / From my point of view...
Agree or disagree: I agree with you that... / I don't think that... / That's a good point, but...
Put forward suggestions: We should... / It's better to... / We can... to deal with it.
Discuss with your partner about the following questions and use the provided sentence patterns for reference.
1. What do you think of Lin Qiaozhi’s choice Would you make the same choice in that situation
2. What other moral dilemmas might students encounter in daily life How should we deal with them
Sample answer:
In my opinion, Lin Qiaozhi’s choice is very admirable. She put others’ lives above her own exam, which is really selfless.
I agree with you that she is selfless. But if I were in her situation, I might feel hesitant because the exam is so important for entering university.
Sample answer:
That’s a good point, but I think saving a life is more urgent. We can take the exam again, but a life can’t be brought back.
You’re right. For other moral dilemmas, like finding a classmate cheating in an exam, we should tell the teacher instead of ignoring it.
