IPH EXERCISE

🔆 Transcript: Narration: Three students are talking about whether the school should increase the weekly time for campus club activities. Speaker1: Hey everyone, did you see the notice that the student union is asking for opinions on club time? I really hope they add more hours! Right now, we only get one hour every Wednesday for the photography club, and it’s never enough—last week, we had to rush through setting up the camera, and we didn’t even get to edit the photos we took. Speaker2: I totally agree with you! I’m in the drama club, and our one-hour sessions mean we can barely get through a single scene rehearsal. Last month, we had to stay after school secretly to practice for the school play because we didn’t have enough official time—and we almost got caught by the janitor. Increasing club time would make it easier to learn new skills and make the clubs feel more meaningful. Speaker3: Wait, do you two really think that’s a good idea? I’m against adding more club time. Most of us already have a lot of homework—if we spend more time on clubs, we’ll end up staying up late to finish assignments. Speaker1: But you can plan your time better, right? I use a planner to write down when I’ll do homework and when I’ll go to the club—so I never miss deadlines. Plus, clubs help us relax after a day of classes. If I only study, I get burned out easily. Speaker2: Yeah, and clubs teach us skills that classes don’t. I’ve learned how to work in a team and speak in front of people from the drama club—those skills will help me even when I’m in college. If we cut down on club time to do more homework, we’re missing out on important life skills. Speaker3: But not everyone is good at time management. A lot of my classmates already struggle to balance homework and clubs—adding more club time would just make that worse. Speaker1: Hmm, maybe we could find a middle ground? Like, add 30 minutes instead of a whole hour? That way, we have more time for clubs without taking too much time away from homework. And maybe the extra time could be optional, so students who are really busy can choose to leave early if they need to. Speaker2: That’s a great idea! 30 minutes isn’t too long, but it would make a big difference for the drama club—we could finish rehearsing a scene and even get feedback from the teacher. And if the school schedules club time right after lunch, we won’t have to choose between clubs and homework in the evening. Plus, having a slightly longer session would let us actually complete projects without feeling rushed every time. Speaker3: Okay, that does sound more reasonable. I guess 30 minutes wouldn’t be as bad as a whole hour. But we should make sure the school doesn’t add club time on days when we have a lot of tests—like before midterms or finals. Maybe the student council could also do a quick survey each month to see which weeks are too busy for extra activities. #SGD #SGD_85 #Apeuni_85 ———————————————— 🎖Together we persevere, Together we can 🎖 @Iran_pte_house

The lecture primarily addressed the importance of washing fruits and vegetables to prevent illness. However, the speaker noted that certain pre-cleaned produce does not require additional washing. Moreover, although various washing products are available on the market, the most recommended method remains rinsing under cold running water and using a brush.
