W: I hear the same thing from every student. You know, you have to remember now that you are the expert on what you have done. So th ink about what you need to include if you’re going to explain your research project to someone with general or casual knowledge about the subject like your parents. That’s usually my rule… Would my parents understand this?

M: Uhh, I get it. I was wondering if I should also include the notes from the research journals you suggest.

W: Yes, definitely. Be sure you include good reference section where all your published and unpublished data came from.

M: Yes. … I have data more than just in the G city area, so I also include regional data in the report. With everything else, it should be a pretty good indication of climate of this part of the state.

W: Sounds good. I’ll be happy to look over a draft before you hand the final copy if you wish.

M: Great. I plan to get you the draft of the paper by next Friday.

Thanks very much. See you.

Conversation Two

M: I’d like to share with you today my experience with a new approach to building a house. It’s called Envelop Building.

W: Hmm, it sounds interesting. Please share with us. What does it mean?

M: Essentially, what it means is that as you are building a house, you try to leave the landscape feature on the land, especially the vegetation in the original condition. So what you are not doing is the usual practice of land-scraping. By which I mean literally scraping or cleaning the land of any and all the original plants.

W: Why is the approach called Envelop Building?

M: Good question! Because instead of clearing everything away, you let your original landscape elements envelop or surround your house. Let the vegetation physical features such as hills and slopes or interesting rock formations, constitute a significant part of the character of the building site. The design of the house should take these features of the land into account.

W: Any more information about Envelop Building? It is a recent technology?

M: Actually integrating your original wild landscape with a house is not that new. The famous American architect Wright was doing it about 65 years ago. Envelop Building is not as easy as it sounds though. It’s not just that you build your house and leave the land alone. By building, you are already damaging the original landscape. But as architects, we should try to work with environment, not against it. A creative architect can find ways to incorporate natural landscape into the overall design.

W: I guess this technology will be acknowledged by more architects.

Section B

Passage One

Born and raised in central Ohio, I am a country girl through and through. I am currently studying to become a physical therapist, a career path that marks a greater achievement for me. At the Ohio State University, admission into the physical therapy program is intensively competitive. I made it pass the first cut the first year I applied, but was turned down for admission. I was crushed because for years I have been determined to become a physical therapist. I received the advice from friends and relatives about changing my major and finding another course for my life. I just couldn’t do it. I knew I could not be as happy in another profession. So I stilled myself, began to work seriously for another year and reapplied.

Happily I received notice of my admission. Later I found out that less than 15% of the applicants had been offered positions that year.

Now, in the first two years’ professional training, I could not be

happier with my decision not to give up all my dream. My father told me that if I wanted it badly enough, I would get in. Well, daddy, I wanted it, so there. After graduation, I would like to travel to another country, possibly a Latin-American country and work in a children’s hospital for a year or two. So many of children there are physically handicap ped, but most hospitals don’t have the funding to hire a trained staff to care for them properly. I would like to change that somehow.
