Introduction
Now, it is a time to show, how smart you are!
Today, you are going to be a researcher. It will be your job to listen to the audio on Divorce Rate Statistics to create a chart based on the information you got from it. Also, you will read an article about Marriage Problems. Finally, you will have to make a prediction about divorces by the year 2020.
Task
You are going to be working with a production team of three people. Your team will be assigned 3 essential parts to research and learn about. Once your team has gathered all of the necessary information, your team will make a project (a prediction) which you will present to the audience at the International Conference to teach them all of the important information you have learned.
