Transitional forms of animals are the species that live between their ancient ancestors and modern species of that animal that we are familiar with. For instance, there is a kind of fish which is able to breathe with their gills to breathe and live in the shallow ocean. This type of fish also has very strong structure. They have bones just like what the land animals have which allow them to support their weight when they arc swimming in the shallow water, or when they are trying to search food on land.

The woman got a job in a book center; however, she also needs to do a job as an organizer in a physical affairs at the same time. She doesn't know what to do. There are
two solutions mentioned in the listening part. One is she can quit the job in the book store, so she could focus on the organizing part in the physical part.
However, I would say I recommend the other, that is, finding another person to cover the organizing part of the job in the physical affair. For one thing, although
there used to be some disagreement, if she could try to understand the other person better, I believe there won’t be a big problem for them to work out the disagreement.
For another thing, if she quits the job in the book center, that means she won’t get the payment anymore as she still needs the money. It won’t be a good choice. @aalaeeTOEFLiBT

The function of cameras in old time was not good enough. So people figured out two ways to improve the quality of pictures. The first one is cut and paste.

The second way is painting some colors on the pictures, so those pictures could be more appealling. @aalaeeTOEFLiBT

In this reading passage, the student proposes that the university should set some coffee and tea station in student dorms because that can be so time efficient and save students a lot of money.
In the conversation, the woman can’t agree more with this proposal for two reasons. The first reason is that it’s really hard for students to get up early in the morning and they are always in a rush and they don't have time for breakfast. It can be a whole lot easier for them to grab a nice cup of coffee in their dorm buildings and they don't have to go all the way to the dining hall. What’s more, it can also save them a lot of money from buying coffee and tea by doing so.
Things in the coffee shop in our campus are always more expensive.

In this conversation, the woman is facing a problem; the man was supposed to drive her and accompany her to watch a play, but the man realized that he still got one class to go at the last minute, so there would be no one to drive her to the play.
So here are two solutions for her. The first one is that the woman can drive the man’s car by herself. Another solution is the woman can take a public transportation.
I think the woman should definitely choose the first solution because it’s such an exhausting thing to take a bus, which may cause her a lot of energy and time and most importantly, it is not the cool thing to do.

In the lecture, the professor talks about the contributions of railroad to America and gives two examples to illustrate it.
The first example is that the business could sell their products to a further place and get more revenue. Like in the past, the business which sold clocks could only sell its clocks to local people. Overtime, with the expansion of railroad, the business could deliver their clocks to the entire country and sell to more people.
Another example is to make it possible to transport raw materials like coal. In the south of America, there were no factories due to lack of coals because factories needed energy provided by coals. With the expansion of railroad and coal utilization, which could transport coal from other regions to the south, more and more factories could be built up there.

BOORISH, UNCOUTH, CRASS (adj.)
Vulgar; characterized by crude behavior and deplorable manners; unrefined
Billy Madison (Billy Madison), Ron Burgundy (Anchorman), Borat (Borat), and Ben Stone (Knocked Up) all demonstrated BOORISH manners and behaviors. However, none of these UNCOUTH characters quite equaled Bluto in Animal House. In a classic scene, Bluto piled food onto his cafeteria plate while stuffing food in his pockets. He then sat down uninvited at a cafeteria table. Disgusted by Bluto’s outrageous appearance and CRASS manners. Mandy called him a “P-1-G, pig.” Undeterred by Mandy’s insult, Bluto stuffed mashed potatoes into his mouth and asked Mandy and her incredulous friends, “Can you guess what 1 am?” He then pressed his hands against his cheeks, causing the mashed potatoes to spray onto the shocked diners. Pleased with his BOORISH antics, Bluto proudly answered his own question by announcing, “I’m a zit, get it!”
