Task 1: Competition in America

Script

Alan: What are you reading, Eliza?

Eliza: An article on America competition.

Alan: Competition is everywhere. Why so much fuss about it, Miss Knowledge? Eliza:Don’t make fun of me. According to the author, competition is especially important in American life. They’re taught to complete from early childhood.

When children play games, they learn how to beat others.

Alan: And many girls want to look more attractive than the girls sitting next to them in class. Do you think that way?

Eliza: Don’t be silly. Let’s get back to the point. When children are growing up, they complete with one another in their studies.

Alan: I sn’t that also true of students in other nations? As we all know, many Asian students would kill for a high test score and grab every opportunity to sharpen their competitive edge over others.

Eliza:American boys find great pleasure in competing with each other in sports, according to the author.

Alan:I do like sports. When our football team beats the other team, I feel great…

makes me want to shout out loud. But isn’t that normal throughout the world? Eliza:American people also compete with each other at work and at climbing the social ladder.

Alan: But there’s such competition in other countries as well.

Eliza:You’re right in a sense, but the author says the idea of competing is more deeply rooted in the minds of Americans. They’re even taught that if you lose and don’t feel hurt, there must be something wrong with you.

Alan: I hear that some Asians put emphasis on cooperation. Which approach do you think makes more sense?

Eliza: It’s hard to say. Anyway, it’s just culture difference.

艾伦：艾丽莎你在读什么？

艾丽沙：关于美国竞争的文章。

艾伦：竞争无处不在。为什么如此小题大做，妇人之见？

艾丽沙：别取笑我。根据作者的观点，美国生活中的竞争是非常重要的。他们被教育从早期孩童时期。孩子玩游戏时，他们学会了如何打败别人。

艾伦：许多女孩会比在课堂上的女孩更具吸引力。你认为呢？

艾丽沙：别傻了。让我们回到点上。在孩子成长的过程中，他们要打败其他学生在他们学习上。

艾伦：那不是真实的在其他国家的学生？我们都知道，许多亚洲学生梦寐以求的高分成绩，抓住每一个机会来提高他们的竞争优势。

艾丽沙：美国男孩与体育相互竞争找到很大的乐趣，根据作者所说。
