He described the inadequacies of his students, all high school graduates who can use language only at a grade 9 level.

听力原文:M: So you're visiting San Francisco?
W: Yes, I just got here the day before yesterday, and you?
M: I'm a native.
W: Oh, really? All the people I meet here are tourists like me. I was beginning to think that maybe there were no natives.
M: Well. San Francisco has a lot of different ethnic groups, so you might think you're seeing a lot of foreigners. But in fact, the city has a population of about 700, 000 people.
W: What are the ethnic groups?
M: Well, after whites, the largest one is blacks.
W: I thought it was Chinese.
M: It's true that San Francisco has the largest Chinese community outside Asia. But the black people there are more than Chinese.
W: That's interesting. Don't most of the Chinese people live in China-town?
M: Well, no, they live throughout the city, but Chinatown is definitely the center of Chinese culture here. That's where you'll find the best Chinese restaurants, bookstores, art theaters and things like that.
W: How about the Japanese? Doesn't San Francisco have a large Japanese population too?
M: No, actually there are only about 12,000 Japanese people here, but we do have an area called "Japan town" that has Japanese restaurants and bookstores.
W: You seem to know a lot about this city.
M: Well, most San Franciscans think their city is pretty special. We like to talk about it. Besides, I teach ethnic history at the university here.

听力原文:M: Well, Mrs. Fern, how did you do in your driving test?
W: Not so well, I'm afraid.
M: Didn't you get your license?
W: No. My score was only 49 percent. The woman who tested me was very strict about everything. M. Where did you lose the most points?
W: One thing was not turning my head before changing lanes or making turns.
M: Right. Using a turn signal isn't enough. To be safe, you have to glance back over your shoulder in the direction you want to go.
W: My teacher didn't emphasize that enough, or about maintaining the fight distance behind the car in front.
M: That's right. You need a training distance of about one or two car lengths when you're driving.
W: My parallel parking was good. I've been practicing that a lot.
M: What was your worst moment?
W: Waiting on an uphill stop for the light to change to green.
M: What happened?
W: Well, I let the car stall and forgot how to use the hand break. So the car rolled back and bumped the one behind me.
M: That alone probably failed you.
