[3-second beep at about 17.4 khz]
Teacher: If you couldn’t hear the first one, it means you’re not a dog! [Laugh.]
Dogs can hear very high frequency sounds, but people can’t. And if you
could hear the second one, you’re younger than 25.
Student: Wow! Why is that
Teacher: Our ears change when we get older. Children and young people can hear
the second one, but most people older than 25 can’t.

Team A: We say no, they shouldn’t. One reason is that teenagers are too young.
They should think about schoolwork and spend more time studying.
