My Most Unforgettable Experience
The most unforgettable experience for me is a speech competition. It made a big difference in my life.
One day, my teacher asked me to join a speech competition. Though I didn’t think I could make a perfect speech, I took part in it. I spent three days to prepare for the speech. On the speech competition day, students made speech one by one. I was so nervous that my hand became wet. My teacher looked at me and said, “Take it easy, you can do it.” It was time for me to make a speech. When I stood in front of all students and teachers, I was too nervous to say anything. I was afraid of making mistakes and students would laugh at me. To my surprise, they clapped hands and cheered me up. Then I remembered my teacher’s words. Both of those gave me a lot of energy and confidence. Finally, I tried my best to make a perfect speech.
This experience not only made me confident but also let me realize my teacher’s care for me. Because of the competition, I became more confident.

Professor Post is developing a way to grow meat in a lab because he believes that livestock farming is not good for the environment, not good for animals nor, he says, is it going to satisfy the growing demand for meat.
His aim is to produce a burger that looks and taste just like the real thing but from what I saw at his la
b, is still a work in progress. The flesh, grown from stem cells, is pale white and tasteless, so food technologists have had to mix in some ingredients to add flavor and vegetable juice to add color. The mixture is then put together to make the burger that will be cooked then eaten by two food writers.
Initial testing during the development process suggests that it won’t taste great, but according to Professor Post, it will taste good enough.
Questions 3 and 4 are based on the news report you have just heard.
3. Why is Professor Post developing a way to grow meat in a lab?
4. What is the man-made meat grown from?

It is being called Ireland’s exit from the emergency assistance. If all goes to plan, Ireland will receive no more financial assistance. It does not mean that the money has been repaid—that will take until
2042.
Ireland will still need to borrow—and all the signs are that it will be able to do so in the financial markets at an affordable cost. The country’s economy has shown signs of stabilization. It has grown, though unusually, and unemployment is down from its highs. But living standards have been hit—the economy is still 9% smaller than it was six years ago.
This is an important stage in the Euro zone’s financial repair effort. It certainly helps that the recession in the Euro zone has ended —that the economy of the region as a whole has started to grow again. But it is still vulnerable growth. Europe needs stronger performance to generate the tax revenue that could really help struggling governments get control of their borrowing needs.
Questions 5 to 7 are based on the news report you have just heard.
5. What do we learn about Ireland from the news report?
6. Compared with six years ago, what has happened to Ireland’s economy?
7. According to the author, what should Europe do to help
struggling governments like Ireland’s?
