Part 2 (7 minutes)

下面是事先提供给学生的文章（供参考）：
　　 A foreign student who plans to come to the United States must have some definite goals in mind. For the student who wants to improve his English quickly and learn about American customs firsthand, there is often an opportunity to live with an American family. There may be one or two disadvantages to this living arrangement; however, I believe that there are far more advantages.
　　First of all, some minor disadvantages to living with an American family include both a lack of privacy and little opportunity to be independent. For instance, the foreign student may find that the family expects him to join them in group activities such as watching television and going on picnics. At times, however, he might enjoy staying in his room to read or to write letters to his family and friends. Another drawback to living in an American home involves the possibility that the family may treat the student like a child. For example, the parents may want to decide who his friends will be and where he will go during his leisure time away from home.
　　Even though there may be one or two disadvantages to living with an American family, the advantages far outweigh them. By taking part in a homestay program, the student has an excellent opportunity to learn about American customs. He will find out how to behave in different social situations such as parties and ceremonies and how to dress in these occasions. Also, he will learn about many other aspects of the American way of life, such as attendance rules and school costs. The family will make certain that he becomes acquainted with this new way of life, and soon he will feel at home.
　　 Another advantage to living with an American family is that the student is in an ideal environment to improve his English. For example, each time he has a conversation with someone in the family, this native speaker can help him with his pronunciation and grammar. Maybe younger children in the family can help the student with his homework, too. But the most important thing is that he will be surrounded by English most of the time during his stay in the United States.
　　Although I agree that there may be a couple of disadvantages to living with an American family, I feel that the advantages are more obvious. In a homestay program, the student can learn about American customs in most natural way possible. In addition, he will find himself in an atmosphere in which his English will certainly improve. In my opinion, these are the two most important goals for him to consider, and living with an American family is the best way to achieve them.
