According to the reading, the university has announced that the campus newspaper will feature scholarships offered by groups and individuals not associated with the University. The man in the conversation thinks that it's a good idea for two reasons. The first reason he supports this new plan is that students are too busy to track down scholarship information on their own. this information is only advertised on the website but students don't have enough time to look through all the individual websites. The second reason he thinks this will help students in many ways is that students will be able to get information on a wide assortment of scholarships. For example, Last year, He could not get a scholarship because his GPA was not high enough but he could find an organization that offered scholarships for community service. For these reasons, he thinks that this new plan is a good idea.

The professor reinforces this concept by presenting two examples. First, he discusses Katydids, predators that mimic the sound of Cicadas, their prey. Katydids produce sounds that mimic female Cicadas, luring male Cicadas towards them. Once the unsuspecting Cicadas approach, the Katydids kill and eat them. The second example is the Death Adder, which buries itself under the soil, appearing like a small food source. As small animals approach, thinking it's food, they are caught and eaten by the Death Adder."

In this lecture, the professor describes two different approaches to painting and she starts the topic by talking about realism. It is intended to be a reflection of realities. In realism, the subject tends to be people and the object tends to be a situation. For instance, in Monarchia by DaVinci, you can see the multiplayer which creates highly realistic images. The second example is surrealism. it is intended to capture the power of the subconscious mind and it is considered as pure art. For instance, In Salvador Dali's work, you can see permanent memory and unidentified creature in the world.

Here's a slightly revised version of your response:
In the lecture, the professor explores two different styles of painting, beginning with realism. Realism aims to reflect reality, often featuring people and situations as subjects. For instance, in 'Mona Lisa' by Da Vinci, multi-layering technique is used to create highly realistic images. The second style discussed is surrealism, which strives to capture the power of the subconscious mind, and is often considered pure art. A good example of this is Salvador Dali's works, where one can find representations of persistent memory and bizarre creatures that reflect a world beyond reality."
Remember to practice regularly and focus on improving pronunciation and grammar to get a higher score!
