Hi luschan, here is a reading and listening passage for my integrated speech.
Reading passage. starting this year, university dining hall will be transformed into the campus dinning club for one week at the end of each semester.During the last week of each semester, the dinning hall will feature special meal prepared by the university culinary art student. The school feels that this this will give students who are studying cooking and food preparation valuable experience that will help them later, when they pursue their careers. The university has announced that this will charge small additional fees for these dinners in order to pay for the special gourmet food ingredients that will be required.
