Revised Answer (140 words):

The student in the letter suggests that the university remove phones from students' rooms. Nonetheless, the woman in the conversation opposes this idea for two reasons. The first reason is that having both personal phones and dorm phones is beneficial for students. At times, personal phones may be unreliable due to poor reception caused by hills in the area, leading to dropped calls or unclear conversations. Therefore, having a backup option like dorm phones is essential. The second reason is that students don't have to pay a significant amount for dorm phones, as they are charged per call. By controlling the number of calls made through room phones, students can avoid high costs. In conclusion, the woman believes that it is better to maintain the current system with both personal and dorm phones available for students.

Original Answer: The student suggests that the school should remove the room phone service of all the students, but the woman didn't think it was a good idea. Firstly, the woman thinks although we have mobile phone services, but it is always unreliable. Sometimes it may cut off, and the reception was not very good. So she usually calls back in another line. So it is better to have a backup action. Secondly, about the cost problem, the woman thinks that the cost of phone is based on how much they use the phone. The more you use the phone, the higher you pay the cost.

Revised Answer (140 words): The student proposes that the school should remove the room phone service for all students, but the woman disagrees with this idea. She believes that even though most students have mobile phone services, they can be unreliable at times. The reception might be poor, and calls may get cut off, so having a landline as a backup option is beneficial. Furthermore, she argues that the cost of the room phone service is based on usage. The more calls a student makes, the higher the fees they pay. This way, students can control their expenses by limiting their use of the room phone service. Therefore, she thinks it's best to keep the current system in place.
