Now listen to two students discussing the article.
(man) I just don't think this will work.
(woman) Why not?
(man) Because it's not gonna solve the problem. Students are busy at night, I mean, we have jobs, families, clubs, social events. Most of us already have something to do every single night of the week.
(woman) I see your point. I sure couldn't fit anything into my schedule during the week. I've got swimming practice most nights.
(man) Right! And as far as expense goes, I think they're going about it the wrong way. I mean, it cost money to hire more teachers and keep the academic building open later, which is a lot more expensive than simply just buying more computers.
(woman) More computers?
(man) That's right! Computer prices have come way down the past few years. So the department won't have to spend as much now as they did in the past. Besides, the computer department classrooms, you know, the rooms themselves, they are actually very big, there’s plenty of space to add more computers.
The computer department is considering a scheduling change. Explain the man’s opinion of the change and the reasons he gives for holding that opinion.
Well, the man is strongly against the changing plan for two main reasons. First, he insists that most of the students are busy at night with such as jobs, families, clubs and so on, so they won't be able to make good use of the added class anyway. Second, he believes that the idea of hiring more teachers to keep the academic building open later at night would be a bad idea. Since the computer prices have been reduced, it's surely cheaper to invest in more computers. More importantly there is enough space in the building for holding more computers. So the man disagrees with the plan for the reasons stated above. (110 words)
