Practice Listening: Summarize Spoken Text ID: #37082 Medium Genetic Impact
Instructions
Since the discovery of DNA structure, people have believed that genes have an impact only on people's physical structure. However, the study of mapping of genes in 2001 found that there is a genetic responsibility to human's physical and psychological behaviours, which has changed the way we understand our behaviors. Findings from behavioral genetic research have broadly impacted modern understanding of the role of genetic and environmental influences on behaviour. The research on genes has provided integrating information, and the findings can benefit biologists, psychologists and neuroscientists. Qualitative research has fostered arguments that behavioural genetics is an ungovernable field without scientific norms or consensus, which fosters controversy.

Sample Answer:

The talk not only meticulously outlines the significance of the DNA structure, but also vividly points out the importance of scientific norms and behaviours. Besides, it provides a brief overview of the mapping of genes, followed by biologists and environmental influences. To put it simply, coping with vicissitudes and attaining acumen seem to hold one in good stead, as far as broadening their horizons is concerned.
