Текст аудирования:
Speaker 1: I think it’s because most boys only want to do well in subjects they like. If they don’t like it, they don’t try. Subjects boys enjoy are the ones they’re generally better at anyway. So in these subjects the marks are higher. Girls try hard whether they enjoy it or not.
Speaker 2: I don’t think boys are less intelligent. Girls can do better because they work harder in the class and at home too, unlike boys. Boys often just mess around in the class and hope to do well. Besides, they think it’s funny when a teacher asks them for their homework and they don’t have it. Girls think more about their future whereas boys just think of football and skating. That’s how it is, really.
Speaker 3: I think if boys worked hard, they would do better! And I also think that it’s unfair the way that boys with good grades are treated. The ones who are star students and who read and do all their homework are made fun of. That’s why boys are under a lot of pressure to do well in exams and still have a good reputation. It seems uncool to get A marks or whatever every time. If boys work hard, they are called different unpleasant nicknames.
Speaker 4: Boys are probably under less pressure than girls. Girls take exams, and their future, more seriously and at a younger age than boys do. Boys go easy through life, they’ve got all the best jobs but girls like to look better and try harder. Girls aren’t smarter than boys, it’s just that girls care too much. Boys don’t try and they’re lazy. So girls are winning.
Speaker 5: Girls are generally easier to teach and don’t mind how they learn whereas boys need to be taught in different ways. I think the teachers don’t adapt to this difference so boys lose out. Besides more teachers are women, they spend more time with girls than boys so girls have an advantage.
A Boys care less about their future.
В Boys with good marks are laughed at.
С Boys are less intelligent.
D Methods of teaching for boys should be different.
E Boys do not take studying seriously.
F Boys pay attention only to few subjects.
