NARRATOR
Now listen to two students discussing the announcement.
MALE STUDENT
Did you read this announcement?
FEMALE STUDENT
Yeah, and I disagree—I don’t think it will actually help students.
MALE STUDENT
Really? Why not?
FEMALE STUDENT
Well, they talked about leadership... and organizational skills... but that’s not really the kind of work you do. Like my older brother’s had the kind of jobs they’re talking about... and typically you’re just there to do basic tasks like typing or filing stuff—nothing very meaningful.
MALE STUDENT
Oh, so you wouldn’t actually learn anything new...
FEMALE STUDENT
Exactly.
MALE STUDENT
I guess I see what you mean—but what about the other point they make?
FEMALE STUDENT
About this helping us after we graduate? I don’t agree.
MALE STUDENT
How come?
FEMALE STUDENT
Well, the problem is that there are lots of other universities in our area that have the same requirement . . . so there are lots of other students at these positions.
MALE STUDENT
Yeah, I guess I hadn’t thought of that.
FEMALE STUDENT
So even if you take a position like this in a company while you’re still a student, once you graduate, the competition for permanent jobs will be impossible...I mean, there just won’t be enough jobs available for all the business graduates in this city who will be looking for full-time work.
MALE STUDENT
Hmm … I see what you’re saying.
The woman expresses her opinion about the new policy. State her opinion and explain the reasons she gives for holding that opinion.
名师1对1，深度分析薄弱项，高效提分
Well, the woman disagrees with the announcement. She doesn't think it'll do any help to the students for some reasons. Firstly, she doesn't think leadership and organization skills are something that students can acquire through the experience because all that many students, like her elder brother, do, is some basic and meaningless tasks like typing or filing stuff. The second reason from the woman is that other universities in her area have the same requirement as her university does, which means there are lots of competitors at the same positions especially when the business students graduate. There won't be enough full-time job opportunities or positions available at all. So the woman virtually disagrees for the reasons stated above. (118 words)
