Listen to two students discussing the plan.
Male student: Hey, have you read about his…the plans for the gym?
Female student: Yeah, but I could sure think of better things to do with the money.
Male student: You're kidding. I thought you'd be all for it. You go to the gym all the time.
Female student: Yeah, but I never have any problem. Sure there're a lot of people there but I never have to wait to use the exercise bikes, or even the weight machines. Do you?
Male student: Not really. It's not that busy.
Female student: The other thing is ... well, we have all sorts of exercise programs, a terrific swimming pool that's always open, great running paths, all kinds of sports teams. I'm just saying that a bunch of new machines in the gym aren't gonna make any difference. People like to get their exercise in different ways ... and on this campus there're already plenty of choices.
Male student: You may be right...
The woman expresses her opinion about the plan described in the announcement. Briefly summarize the plan. Then state her opinion about the plan and explain the reasons she gives for holding that opinion.
The school is going to add more exercise machines for the campus gym with the funding from this year's budget. The school believe that this would solve the problem of insufficient machine available and can encourage more students to exercise and live a healthier lifestyle. However, the women in the conversation does not agree with this plan. She thinks that although there is an increase in enrollment, they never have problems of finding vacant machine. He never has to wait to use the exercise bikes. Also, they’ve already have all sorts of exercise programs like swimming pool, running paths and so forth. There are better ways for the school to use this budget.
