Now listen to a conversation between two students.
Male Student
Hey, Michaela. Have you figured out your summer plans yet?
Female Student
Hi, Ferdinand. No, I’m really struggling to decide what to do. I’m at my wits’ end.
Male Student
What do you mean?
Female Student
You know my boyfriend Mateo, right? He’s Brazilian. He’ll be studying for law school entrance exams in Rio de Janeiro this summer. Part of me really wants to join him there. After all, my thesis is about how the Brazilian government is fighting poverty in Rio… and like, this trip could be a great opportunity to do some more research. Also, I would get a chance to spend time with Mateo and his family, which would definitely be a plus.
Male Student
All of that sounds great. What’s the issue, then?
Female Student
The problem is I don’t actually have anything official to DO in Rio. I haven’t been offered any kind of job or internship opportunities or ANYTHING there. I wouldn’t be making any money, and I’d essentially be doing all of my research informally.
Male Student
I see. That IS a problem.
Female Student
That’s why I’m thinking about staying here in New York this summer. There’s a job offering as a research assistant for Professor Miranda. At least I’ll have something concrete on my résumé.
Male Student
But Professor Miranda is notorious for asking so much from her research assistants… and, uhh… the university doesn’t pay too much to its research assistants, anyway.
Female Student
Tell me about it. Also, I’d hate to waste time helping Professor Miranda research HER projects when my own thesis needs so much work.
Male Student
Do you think you might be able to find a formal job offering for the summer in Rio?
Female Student
At this point, it looks pretty difficult. Mateo says that I could always stay with his parents there because they have a big house, but I’d hate to impose on them all summer long…

The part 1 is too long:
part 1. Briefly summarize the problem the speakers are discussing. //about 15 seconds.
part 2. Then state which of the two solutions from the conversation you would recommend. //about 15 seconds. Like: there are possibly two solutions: The first one is: blabla....the second one is: blabla...If I were the woman/man, I would choose the first/second solution.
part 3. Explain the reason for your recommendation. //(suppose the recommendation is the first solution). Even though the second solution has some advantages like: blabla(about 10 seconds), still I choose the first solution . because reason 1, blabla(about 10 seconds)...reason 2, blabla(about 10 seconds)...
