地道美语听力播客561:文稿评分

Adelia:When I created this writing contest, I had no idea that we would get so many entries.

Omar:Good thing you have an impartial panel of judges to help you select the winner.

Adelia:Yes, good thing. I’m really grateful to all of you for giving up your time to help.

Omar:What criteria are we using to score each of the entries?

Adelia:We’re using a 10-point scale. Each of us will read an entry and give it a score. When we’re all done, we’ll average out those scores. Hopefully, there’ll be a clear winner.

Omar:And if not?

Adelia:If there isn’t, then we’ll take the top scorers and vote on which is best. Majority rules.

Omar:Okay, but are there reasons for disqualifying an entry? For instance, what if somebody didn’t follow the entry guidelines?

Adelia:I’ve already culled the entries for the ones that don’t meet the requirements. These are all eligible.

Omar:Okay, let’s get started. We’ve got our work cut out for us.

Adelia:You’ve got that right.
