  [10:26.84]That is the end of PART I Dictation.

  [10:30.65]Part Two Listening Comprehension

  [10:34.58]SECTION A TALK

  [10:37.41]In this section you will hear a talk.

  [10:40.31]You will hear the talk ONCE ONLY.

  [10:43.30]While listening, you may look at ANSWER SHEET ONE

  [10:47.10]and write NO MORE THAN THREE WORDS for each gap.

  [10:51.70]Make sure the word(s) you fill in is (are) both

  [10:56.78]grammatically and semantically acceptable.

  [11:00.38]You may use the blank sheet for note-taking.

  [11:03.96]You have THIRTY seconds to preview the gap-filling task.

  [11:40.64]Now listen to the talk.

  [11:42.53]When it is over, you will be given TWO minutes to complete your work.

  [11:47.70]Culture Shock

  [11:49.02]Good morning, everyone.

  [11:51.24]Today, we'll talk about culture shock.

  [11:54.23]Culture shock is a very real experience for many people

  [11:58.73] who move to another country.

  [12:01.46]Anyone who has lived or studied

  [12:03.47]or even traveled extensively in another country

  [12:06.81]has tasted and lived through culture shock.

  [12:10.68]There are several stages one goes through

  [12:12.86]when adjusting to a new culture.

  [12:15.12]Before we undertake the five stages of culture shock,

  [12:19.14]let's look at what culture shock is and its signs and symptoms.

  [12:23.97]Culture shock is defined the disorientation experienced

  [12:28.63]when suddenly subjected to an unfamiliar culture.

  [12:32.89]This is a good summary; however,

  [12:35.75]let's break it down a bit further.

  [12:38.83]Some of the common signs

  [12:40.20]and symptoms of culture shock often include:

  [12:43.90]a feeling of sadness and loneliness,

  [12:47.04]an over-concern about your health, feelings of anger and depression,

  [12:52.23]idealizing your own culture, and feeling lost or confused, etc.

  [12:57.41]However, the symptoms are quite individual and unpredictable

  [13:02.72]as people experience culture shock in different ways.

  [13:06.80]Now, let's look at the five-step culture shock model.

  [13:11.65]Step 1 is the Honeymoon Stage.

  [13:15.20]Like any new experience,

  [13:17.59]there's a feeling of intense happiness and excitement

  [13:21.42]when you first arrive to a new country

  [13:23.61]and you respect and are amazed at the differences you see and experience.

  [13:29.20]During this stage, you still feel close to everything familiar back home.

  [13:34.66]Step 2 is the Distress Stage.

  [13:38.48]Now, everything you're experiencing no longer feels new.

  [13:42.88]In fact, it's starting to feel like a thick wall

  [13:46.25]that's preventing you from experiencing things.

  [13:49.07]You feel confused, alone

  [13:51.99]and realize that the familiar support systems are not easily accessible.

  [13:57.46]Step 3 is Re-integration Stage.

  [14:00.24]During this stage, you start refusing

  [14:04.18]to accept the differences you encounter.

  [14:07.17]You start to idealize life "back home"

  [14:09.91]and compare your current culture to what is familiar.

  [14:13.26]You dislike the culture, the language, and the food.

  [14:17.29]You reject it as inferior.

  [14:19.84]You may even develop some prejudices towards the new culture.

  [14:24.13]But you don't have to worry about this.

  [14:26.40]In fact, you're adjusting.

  [14:28.62]This is actually a pretty common reaction to anything new.

  [14:32.98]Step 4 is Autonomy Stage.

  [14:36.06]This is the first stage in acceptance.

  [14:39.34]You start to accept the differences

  [14:42.12]and feel like you can begin to live with them.

  [14:44.80]You feel more confident

  [14:46.46]and better able to cope with any problems that may arise.

  [14:50.60]You no longer feel isolated

  [14:53.13]and instead you're able to look at the world around you

  [14:56.86]and appreciate where you are.

  [14:59.00]Step 5 is Independence Stage.

  [15:02.83]In this stage, you embrace the new culture and see everything in a new,

  [15:07.68]yet realistic light.

  [15:10.00]You feel comfortable, confident,

  [15:12.74]and able to make decisions based on your own preferences.

  [15:16.77]You no longer feel alone and isolated.

  [15:20.01]You appreciate both the differences and similarities of your new culture.

  [15:25.07]OK, to sum up briefly, today we've looked at the symptoms

  [15:29.28]and the five stages of culture shock.

  [15:32.16]I hope it will help you better adjust to a new culture.

  [15:36.86]NOW you have TWO minutes to complete your work.

  [17:41.74]This is the end of Section A talk

  [17:45.28]SECTION B CONVERSATIONS

  [17:48.85]In this section you will hear two conversations.

  [17:52.54]At the end of each conversation,

  [17:55.36]five questions will be asked about what was said.

  [17:58.90]Both the conversation and the questions will be spoken ONCE ONLY.

  [18:04.79]After each question there will be a ten-second pause.

  [18:09.43]During the pause, you should read the four choices of A, B, C and D,

  [18:17.05]and mark the best answer to each question on ANSWER SHEET TWO.

  [18:23.31]You have thirty seconds to preview the questions.

  [18:58.48]Now, listen to the conversations.

  [19:01.06]Conversation One

  [19:02.63]W: Hi. Thanks for coming to the interview today.

  [19:07.03]It's nice to meet you.

  [19:08.39]M: Thank you.

  [19:09.87]W: To begin with,

  [19:11.28]why don't you tell us a little about yourself?

  [19:14.42]M: Okay. I've always been interested in teaching

  [19:17.71]in a language program like this,

  [19:19.67]and I graduated with a degree in English

  [19:21.92]and another in psychology eight years ago,

  [19:24.86]and then I landed my first job overseas in Japan.

  [19:29.06]W: Oh, wow. That's pretty impressive.

  [19:32.65]What did you do there?

  [19:34.16]M: Well, I worked full time,

  [19:36.08]for a private language school in Tokyo

  [19:38.74]for the first two years,

  [19:39.93]and then I found a job at a community college.

  [19:43.68]There, I taught English and culinary arts.

  [19:47.02]W: You taught cooking classes?

  [19:49.75]M: I know it sounds like an unusual combination,

  [19:52.78]but I completed a program in culinary arts

  [19:55.60]before I got my English and psychology degrees.

  [19:59.04]W: Wow. You've done a lot.

  [20:01.99]So, how did you teach and what exactly did you do?

  [20:05.47]M: Well, many of my students wanted to become chefs in restaurants,

  [20:10.03]or they wanted to start their own restaurants,

  [20:13.52]and in our area, there were many tourist spots.

  [20:16.59]A lot of tourists came to that particular area,

  [20:19.01]and so with English, they would be able to communicate

  [20:22.22]with both the suppliers and the customers,

  [20:24.94]and so I taught them English and cooking at the same time.

  [20:28.79]W: Wow. That's interesting.

  [20:30.86]So, why did you return to the United States?

  [20:33.65]How long have you been back?

  [20:35.68]M: I've been back for probably about a year now.

  [20:38.91]W: What brought you back then?

  [20:41.74]M: Well, one of my former students opened a sushi restaurant in town,

  [20:46.35]and he asked me to help him to explore the local market.

  [20:50.48]W: So you're working there still?

  [20:52.76]M: Nope. I want to return to teaching.

  [20:55.34]I'm now working as a therapist at a treatment center

  [20:58.52]for teenagers struggling with depression and other mental disorders.

  [21:02.46]W: Wow. That would be a really interesting job.

  [21:06.31]M: Yes, it is.

  [21:07.98]W: To be honest, we have fifteen people

  [21:11.33]who are applying for this position.

  [21:12.73]Could you tell me why you would be the best person for this job?

  [21:17.09]M: First, I understand that different students have different learning styles,

  [21:22.00]and for that reason,

  [21:24.08]I have used iPads, video, music, cooking, drama, role plays, and games

  [21:30.50]to reach every student. And second,

  [21:32.98]I have a background in psychological counseling and advising,

  [21:37.25]skills that are often needed in working with international students.

  [21:42.42]W: Okay. Thank you for your time.

  [21:44.61]We have two rounds of interviews,

  [21:46.73]and we will contact you on Friday and let you know

  [21:50.06]whether or not you'll be coming back for the second round of interviews.

  [21:53.75]M: Okay. I hope we can meet again.

  [21:57.47]This is the end of Conversation One.

  [21:59.95]Questions 1-5 are based on Conversation One.

  [22:05.10]1. What do we learn about the man from the conversation?

  [22:20.08]2. What was the man's first job in Japan?

  [22:34.60]3. What kind of students did the man teach in the community college?

  [22:50.39]4. What is the man's present job?

  [23:04.63]5. What do we learn about the man's teaching style?

  [23:19.93]Conversation Two

  [23:21.05]M: Oh, Mrs. Jones. Can I take the test now? I just...

  [23:25.34]W: Excuse me? What do you mean?

  [23:28.01]The test ended 10 minutes ago,

  [23:30.46]and you weren't there to take it. Sorry.

  [23:33.14]M: Oh, Mrs. Jones. Come on. That's not fair.

  [23:36.78]W: What do you mean by that?

  [23:39.04]Everyone else was there, taking the test.

  [23:42.29]So, why weren't you in class?

  [23:44.93]M: Uh, my bus didn't come this morning on time.

  [23:47.80]You know it rained heavily this morning.

  [23:50.23]That's why.

  [23:51.51]W: Um. Are you sure?

  [23:53.08]Your roommate, Sam, made it to class,

  [23:55.81]and he said you were still in bed an hour ago.

  [23:58.89]M: Well... Sam might be right about that...

  [24:01.53]Anyway, I really need to take the test, Mrs. Jones.

  [24:05.49]W: Wait. Don't you realize that you just lied to me?

  [24:09.17]M: Well, listen. Mrs. Jones.

  [24:10.98]Please listen to me.

  [24:12.26]My alarm didn't go off this morning,

  [24:14.28]so it's not my fault I came late.

  [24:16.31]W: So, you're blaming your alarm clock again?

  [24:18.98]It's still your responsibility to be here,

  [24:22.32]regardless of the alarm clock.

  [24:24.81]By the way,

  [24:25.94]wasn't that your excuse the last two times you missed class?

  [24:29.75]M: But Mrs. Jones...

  [24:31.63]W: Listen. You know the policy of our program.

  [24:35.77]If you miss a test for an unexcused reason...

  [24:39.06]and a lie is definitely unexcused,

  [24:42.20]then you get a zero on the test.

  [24:44.73]There are no exceptions.

  [24:46.39]Do I make myself understood?

  [24:49.19]M: Mrs. Jones. Why don't you want to help me?

  [24:52.49]You never help me.

  [24:53.91]I mean I really need to pass this class and get the credits.

  [24:58.58]W: No, no. no. Listen to yourself.

  [25:01.10]You're playing what we call the victim.

  [25:04.00]You made some bad choices,

  [25:05.76]and now you have to accept the consequences.

  [25:09.10]Remember: When you point your finger at someone else,

  [25:12.74]like me in this case, three fingers are pointing back at you.

  [25:17.78]M: But Mrs. Jones. I will lose my scholarship

  [25:20.96]if I do poorly in the class;

  [25:22.79]my parents will be really disappointed in me.

  [25:25.22]I don't want to let them down.

  [25:27.84]W: I'm really sorry, but that's not my problem.

  [25:31.12]M: Oh, Mrs. Jones!

  [25:33.05]W: I'm sorry I can't help you with that.

  [25:36.36]Don't try to shift the blame here.

  [25:39.02]M: Mrs. Jones, please...

  [25:41.09]W: Gentleman, you painted yourself into a corner.

  [25:45.48]You need to be accountable for your own actions

  [25:48.67]instead of trying to weasel out of your responsibility.

  [25:52.57]While you aren't doing well in my class though,

  [25:56.25]I must say I almost have to give you an A grade

  [25:59.13]for trying to dodge the outcome of your bad choices.

  [26:02.81]M: Mrs. Jones, please... Mrs. Jones...

  [26:05.74]W: Listen. You are now learning one thing.

  [26:09.20]M: What?

  [26:10.61]W: My name.

  [26:12.33]M: Ah...

  [26:14.21]This is the end of Conversation Two.

  [26:16.89]Questions 6-10 are based on Conversation Two.

  [26:21.23]6. Why does the woman mention the man's roommate?

  [26:36.57]7. What is the excuse the man often uses for missing class?

  [26:52.70]8. What is the policy in class according to the woman?

  [27:08.11]9. What will probably happen if the man fails the test?

  [27:23.50]10. What is the man's major problem according to the woman?

  [27:38.94]This is the end of Part Two Listening Comprehension
