Reading II Dictation A recent study of American public schools showed there is a cultural bias in education that favors boys over girls. The bias is unintentional and unconscious, but it is there nevertheless, and it is influencing the lives of millions of schoolchildren every year. From nursery school to postgraduate courses, teachers were shown to call on males in class far more than on female students. This behavior has a great impact on the learning process, for in general, those students who become active classroom participants develop more positive attitudes and go on to higher achievement.

Post-reading Groupwork: Discussion & Role-play Dutch auction English auction E-auction The way it is conducted Starts with a high price set by the auctioneer and the price then drops until a buyer signals that he will take the goods. The auctioneer offers a base price and bidders push the price up from below until the highest bid has been reached Participating buyers connect their office PCs to the auction centers via high-speed phone lines. Advantage/ disadvantage Much faster Tend to generate higher prices Slower An unreasonably high price may be generated if the bidding turns white-hot; the articles being auctioned may sell rather cheap. Allowing wholesalers to purchase online from remote sites Participants are able to get a better sense of overall pricing and supply by participating in several auctions at once. Where (not) suited to apply Ideal for a large quantity of easily evaluated goods which must be sold quickly. Unsuitable to be used to highly perishable goods, say, flowers and vegetables. Not suited to the transactions demanding a precise and thorough physical inspection or in-depth information Your comment English auctions are more widely used and more common than Dutch auctions. Most E-auctions are conducted in the English way today. But as more and more people are recognizing the advantages of Dutch auctions, it’s certain that more e-businesses will adopt the Dutch method, especially with those time-sensitive ones. Reading II Dictation Auction is a sale at which people bid for articles being sold. An auctioneer conducts the sale and receives the bids. In conducting the sale, the auctioneer usually acts as an agent for the seller, although he or she may also have an interest in the goods offered. The auctioneer divides the property to be sold into "lots". Either through a spoken announcement or printed catalog, the auctioneer describes the lots and outlines the legal and financial conditions for the auction. In the English system of auction, the auctioneer begins at a low price and participants keep raising their bids until the highest bid has been reached. Comprehension True / False / Not Mentioned 1.
