Question, you will read a short passage about a campus situation and then listen to a talk on the same topic. You will then answer a question using information from both the reading passage and the talk. After you hear the question, you will have 30 seconds to prepare your response and 60 seconds to speak.

Read an article in the campus newspaper, you will have 50 seconds to read the article, begin reading now.

Now listen to two students discussing the article.

Hey, did you see this?

Yeah. I think it's a pity.

Really?

It does seem like it doesn't get much use these days.

Well, it's true that more people are driving cars and stuff and so they might not have as many people. I don't think that's a good reason to stop it entirely.

No?

No, because there are some people who still rely on it, students and professors who commute to campus and don't have any other transportation.

Okay.

And if you think about it, when we have vacations or holidays and we're traveling somewhere, most of us use it. It's much cheaper than taking a cab to the main station in North Dale.

Sure. You've got a point.

And I don't really think that we really need another place to get coffee or to study. We already have cafes much closer to the classroom buildings and dormitories. We just need to make sure that students know about them like the coffee shop in the basement of the bookstore or the 24 hour study lounge right by the main entrance to the library.

There's a coffee shop in the basement of the bookstore?

Yeah, I study there all the time because it's so quiet. But I hardly ever see anyone else there. I guess people just don't know it's there.

The woman expresses her opinion about the plan described in the article, briefly summarize the plan, then state her opinion about the plan and explain the reasons she gives for holding that opinion.
