Part Four: Monologue
“There is much debate as to the best kind of education for students today. Some think private schools are tops. A lot of money goes into these schools and the programs are usually of a high quality, yet the tuition fees are often more than the average person can afford. Others think that given a good administration and teachers who care, public schools can offer good educations as well. One problem is that classes in public schools tend to have many more students than private schools, and therefore individual attention can sometimes suffer. Generally, however, quality is based on the individual schools and student interests rather than whether the schools are publicly or privately funded.”
當今，關於什麼才是給予學生的最好的教育這個問題是有很大爭議的。有些人認為私立學校是首選。這些學校聚集了大批資金，因而通常有著較高的教學質量。然而學費卻不是一般人能夠支付得起的。另有些人則認為如果學校管理較好，老師也負責任的話，公立學校同樣也能夠提供良好的教育環境。問題之一是公立學校的班級人數往往比私立學校的多，因而，個人受注意的程度便會降低。然而，一般說來，質量跟各所學校各自的情況及學生的興趣有關，而不是看學校到底是政府出資還是個人集資。

Part Four: Monologue
“Nowadays the job market is more competitive than ever. Many people are searching for jobs and every one of them is hoping for the best job possible. Therefore, to some people the process of applying for a job can be nerve-wracking and incredibly difficult. In order to stand apart from the other applicants during the process, one must make oneself noticeable. Employers see great value in the skills that a potential employee might bring – and the more skills, the more valuable the applicant. It is also helpful to dazzle them with one’s dedication and desire for self-improvement. In this competitive world, every little bit counts.”
現在的人才市場比以往競爭更加激烈。很多人都在找工作，每個人也都渴望找到儘可能好的工作。因此，對於一些人來說，找工作的過程既令人頭疼也有著無法想象的難度。在應聘過程中，為了與其他的應聘者區別開來，就必須做到引人注目。僱主會從未來的僱員身上所具備的技能來挖掘價值——應聘者具備的技能越多便越有價值。如果你能憑藉奉獻精神同時具有自我提高的渴望引起僱主讚歎的話，則更有助於你的應聘。在這個競爭激烈的世界，小異都會帶來大不同。
