Plans for Campus Gym
The recreational services department will receive special funding from this year's budget to increase the number of exercise machines in the campus gym. The increase is in response to numerous student complaints regarding the insufficient number of machines available. Recreational services department agrees that, due to an increase in university enrollment, more students are using the gym. They, therefore, welcomed the proposal, adding that it would encourage even more students to exercise and would help to promote a healthier lifestyle among students.

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...
