Dr. Venkman: Why do you want to major in _______________________?
Ms. Benitez: I’ve been interested in _______________________ since
I was in high school. I was even a member of the Junior
_______________________ Association. We won a few
international competitions.
Dr. Venkman: That’s pretty impressive. You know, though, MIT is a very _______________

Ms. Benitez: I am hard-working, understanding, and always on time.
Dr. Venkman: Can you give me an example of a time when you were _________________?
Ms. Benitez: One time my club members and I had to design a new robot for a
competition. I thought I had the best idea and even started to design it on
my own. I put in a lot of effort! But, after listening to my team members,
I understood that their ideas were better. I needed to ____________________
and get the job done. In the end, we were able to design a robot that won
the competition. In fact, we have been trying to upgrade that robot ever
since we won that competition.
Dr. Venkman: That’s a great story. Now, can you please describe your

Ms. Benitez: My main weakness is that I have always been too determined. Once I set a
goal, I do everything I can to reach it. Sometimes, this makes me a bit
narrow-minded, but I try to stop myself from letting it get out of hand.
Dr. Venkman: Well, I wouldn’t say _______________________ is a weakness, but I see what
you mean. Anyway, you’ll be meeting with many others today, so I won’t
take any more of your time. If you’re curious about your results,

2 Read the text about writing a personal statement for university
applications. Compare it with your notes in Exercise 1.
Are they the same or different?
The personal statement is an important part of your university application. It’s your
chance to describe yourself in detail and say why you would be a great student. Here’s
what you should include in your personal statement:
• Why you’re applying for the course
• What interests you most about the course
• How your previous studies relate to the course
• Your skills and interests, and how they relate to the course
• Any training or achievements that show your skills
• Any relevant work or volunteer experience
• Any other qualities that make you a great candidate
• How the course relates to your future plans
You should also include a short conclusion, in which you restate your interest in the
course and show your commitment to completing it. Remember to sound enthusiastic!
Ever since I was young, I have been fascinated by stories of children who grew up
isolated from society and how they interact with people later in life. I believe
such stories provide us with interesting insights into child development, as well
as the question of whether it is our genes or the environment that shapes
who we are the most. These kinds of questions which have led me to
want to be a psychologist in the future, and I know the first step
in my journey is to complete a high-quality undergraduate degree in
Psychology at a well-regarded university.

injuries. This experience has greatly
enhanced my understanding of how the
brain works and has given me greater
insights into various treatment options
and the recovery process. This experience
has motivated me to pursue research
that will help us to better understand
how we can best develop new treatments
that will enable future patients to fully recover from brain injuries.
During my studies at university, I hope to enhance my understanding of current
theories in psychology as well as learn how to do scientific research. I hope to gain
research experience that will allow me to develop both my academic understanding
and my team-working skills as I believe working as part of a team is one of the
most important abilities to have for the modern workplace. A degree in
Psychology will enable me to take the next step in my journey toward becoming
a professional psychologist and help me to look at issues in brain science
from various perspectives as I learn from those around me. I am very much
committed to this path, and I look forward to the opportunity to learn and
develop at university.

Finn: It’s an ancient city that had been preserved for hundreds of years. It’s in this
magnificent rainforest. Going there will give you a real perspective of what life
was like back in the 18th century. Aside from learning about the kings who
ruled Royal Hill, you’ll also learn about the city’s extensive history. For example,
the city’s site was carefully chosen for its position - it’s much higher than other
areas, offering a stunning view of the surrounding rainforest - but more
importantly, the location was chosen because it would be easy to defend in the
event of a war.

fter the short voyage from Singapore, along the Andaman coast, we’ve

Old Town and checked into my hotel. It was Sunday, so that evening I

The next day, I went to see one of the main attractions on Phuket, the
Big Buddha, which is a massive statue on a mountaintop in the north of

the island. It was really hot, but luckily, you don’t have to walk up the mountain; you can
get a taxi, which is what I did! The views from the top were astonishing! You can see the
green island surrounded by the Andaman Sea and the Gulf of Malaysia.
Other highlights of my trip included visiting Phuket Aquarium, where I saw lots of
exotic-looking fish, and walking along Pattaya beach, which is the most popular one on
the island. It’s quite busy but very beautiful. I hope I can go back to Phuket soon – there
are so many more things I want to see and do!

ìAho y, me hearties! You can call me Captain Jack, most famous as the
originator of the Jolly Roger, which is now known around the world as
the flag of pirates.
I first served as quartermaster on the Ranger, which was captained at
the time by Charles Vance. However, Captain Vance was a coward who
sailed away from battle, so I took control back in 1718. Myself and my
crew spent two magnificent years sailing, stealing, and drinking our way
around the Caribbean. A fine time we had! We fought and captured many
larger ships, getting away with plenty of gold.
Sadly, the authorities in Port Royal didní t take too kindly to us pirates,
and so we were chased and hunted. We put up a good fight, but finally
we were caught in 1720. I was taken to Port Royal, tried for piracy and
sentenced to death by hanging. Yo Ho, Yo Ho! A pirateí s death for me!î

Emerging Neurotechnology
N eurotechnology has the potential to transform medical science. There are already
several examples of how brain implants can improve the lives of patients who are
recovering from serious injuries or disabilities.
Dennis Degray, 66, was paralyzed from the neck down
after a fall ten years ago. In 2016, he had a device surgically
implanted in his motor cortex, the part of the brain that
controls movement. This device records the activity in his
neurons, which is then translated into action. Now, by
imagining moving a joystick with his hand, he is able to
move a cursor on a screen. As a result, he can send text
messages to friends and buy products online.
Another man, Erik Sorto, who is also paralyzed from the neck down, recently became
the first person in the world to have a device implanted in a region of the brain where
intentions are made. Now, just by thinking about it, Sorto can control a robotic arm to
drink from a bottle using a straw, perform a smooth hand-shaking gesture, and even
play “rock, paper, scissors”.
Another kind of brain implant has made it possible to restore partial vision to blind
people. Video is sent from a camera attached to glasses directly to electrodes implanted
in the visual cortex of the brain, bypassing the eyes and optic nerves completely. Paul
Phillip, who has been blind for almost a decade, says that when he wears the glasses to
go on his evening walks with his wife, he can tell the difference between the pavement
and grass. He also can tell where his white sofa is located.
Despite these success stories, most experts believe that it will take another five to ten
years for such technology to become more widely available. As further breakthroughs
are made, the focus will be on helping those who need it most.

2 Read the text and choose the sentences that best match the writer’s opinion.
Should
Of course, video games should be considered art! Making one involves so many creative
people. Composers create soundtracks and effects, visual artists create 2D images and
3D models, writers create stories, voice actors record dialog, and programmers put
all of these things together to create an immersive virtual world. Video games are a
mixture of so many other art forms!
A great video game, one worthy of being called a work of art, can send
chills down our spines, adrenaline through our veins, and put tears in our
eyes. But not all video games can do this (or even try to). Some are only
meant for commercial success. In the same way that some movies are
art, and some are not, so it is with video games. It depends on the
intention of the creator. Artists create with the intention of expressing
ideas, designers design with the intention of selling their design. So,
if the intention of a video game designer is to express ideas through
© nintendo
the medium of a game, then the game can be considered as art.
The world of video games is already so similar to the art world. There are magazines,
websites, and TV shows reviewing and commenting on games. There are video game
conferences and festivals with awards and prizes. There are avid collectors vying for
rare releases. In fact, the Museum of Modern Art in New York has already added 21
games to its collection. Video games should absolutely be considered a form of art.

The Haunting of the House is full of surprises, scary scenes, and great
performances from its two lead actors. It tells the tale of Ben, whose job is to
check houses for damage after tenants move out. However, at one particular
house people keep moving out in a hurry, even leaving all their things behind.
Turns out it’s because the place is haunted by Mary, a ghost who has
been living solo in the building for many years. At first, Ben can’t see
Mary and doesn’t even glance at her when she makes herself visible, but
eventually she really gets his attention, and the relationship between the two
of them forms the heart and soul of the movie.
The only thing wrong with this movie is that it’s weirdly colorful. Ghost
stories are meant to be dark and gloomy, but in this one, everything is bright,
which I found quite strange.
Overall, I was completely absorbed in this story. A few of the scenes are
actually terrifying, and the actress playing the ghost gives a very convincing
performance, totally without compromise. This low-budget horror story is
well-worth watching.

If only I had been able to do that. I was so shy back then. I hardly spoke
to anyone, and I sat by myself at lunch for the first week.
I have a lot of sympathy for them because I remember how terrifying the
first day of high school was for me. I was practically trembling with fear.
Yeah, and she’s the first person who ever told me that I had a good voice
and a talent for acting. I just wish I had joined the club sooner, and not
waited until junior year. What about you—is there anything you wish you’d
done differently up until now?
1 Sasha, look at that group of new freshmen heading into the cafeteria.
They look so young and scared, like little kids!
Do you ever wish you could go back in time and start high school over
again?
I know. It’s hard to believe that was us just three years ago, and now
we’re seniors.
Yeah, you kept raising your hand and making jokes, and you seemed like
you were full of confidence.
All your hard work has paid off, though. You’ve won all those academic
awards, and you’re almost fluent in French now. You’ll be able to study
abroad next year like you wanted. I, on the other hand, have a lot of work
to do this semester if I’m going to get into college at all. I didn’t work
nearly hard enough during 9th and 10th grade.
Oh, me too.
Mrs. Simons runs the drama club, right?
Really? I wish I had noticed that—I would’ve come over and kept you
company. Anyway, you’ve changed a lot in the last three years. I mean,
you were fantastic in the school musical last semester.
No way—I’m glad it’s almost over!
Wait, you were? Are you sure? Because I have a vivid memory of the first
time I saw you, and you seemed completely relaxed and cool.
No, not at all. That’s how I handled the fear—I pretended I wasn’t scared
until I wasn’t anymore.
Hmm. Honestly, I wish I had socialized more the first two years instead
of studying all the time. I worried about my grades and assignments more
than I needed to, and I didn’t have enough fun.
Are you talking about our first day in world history class?
Thanks. Being in the drama club has definitely helped me get over my
shyness, and built up my self-confidence and independence. It’s all thanks
to Mrs. Simons for giving me so much encouragement last year.

“I wish I had focused more on my relationships. I should have been more open
about my feelings and more affectionate with people in my life. I wish I’d been
a better listener, been more empathetic and more considerate, and spent more
time with the people I loved. So much of my life was taken up by work, I wish
I’d been at home with my family more, and I wish we had taken more vacations
together.”

“I wish I’d started exercising when I was younger. Your health is so important,
but you don’t appreciate it until it’s gone. I hardly did any exercise until I started
getting sick a lot in my 40s. After that, I started jogging every day. By the time
I reached 60, I could run a marathon. It was my greatest achievement in life.
Happiness comes when you are healthy. I run for my happiness.”
Benedict
“I became a pharmacist later in life, and my only regret is that I did not focus on
studying when I was younger. I think the sooner you start studying, the better.
If I’d had been more attentive at school in my early life, I’d have studied more
and harder. There’s so much to learn about the world, and the more you learn
the more you can do, so don’t waste your time at school.”
Margaret
“I’m passionate about the good things in life: family and food! I have such
beautiful memories you know; I can live happily forever after because of my lovely
memories of wonderful meals together. I’ve always been strong and healthy and
it’s all because of the food that my mom cooked when I was young. I hope I did
the same for my own children. I think food is so important. If I could live my life
again, maybe I’d become a chef!”

because of a doctor’s appointment.
W: Did you notice anything strange about Eddie at basketball practice that night?
M: I’m not sure if this is _______________________, but he was wearing a new pair of
basketball shoes. I asked him where he got them, and he said at the mall.
W: Why is that strange?
M: Well, he seemed kind of _______________________ about it. It’s like my question got
him angry. Plus, a week ago, Eddie told me he couldn’t afford them.
W: So then, where did he get the money to buy them?
M: I don’t know. Maybe his parents?
W: Nope, I already asked them if they had bought him the shoes, and they said
they hadn’t.
M: Huh? You already knew about the shoes?
W: Yup, Coach Carter tipped me off about them after he heard about Sunny’s purse.

Mrs. Phillips will have to question Eddie about what happened. She won’t accuse
him of stealing Sunny’s purse at the beginning of the conversation, though. First,
she’ll ask about why he left school early, where he went, and what he did. Then,
she’ll ask about the new shoes and about how he could afford them. Her aim will
be to get Eddie to confess to stealing the purse rather than have to ask him directly.
Write the conversation between Mrs. Phillips and Eddie. You can start like this:
Mrs. Phillips: Hi, Eddie. I heard you had to leave school early yesterday.
Can you tell me why?
Eddie: Umm… yeah, I had to…
