Room Phones Are Unnecessary As part of the cost of student housing, students pay to have phones in their dormitory rooms. I think this is unnecessary, and the university should remove the phones from students’ rooms. Room phones are not needed since students all have mobile phones we can use to make calls instead. Removing the room phones would also have a cost benefit for students, since we would save money if we didn’t have to pay the cost of phone service for the rooms. Sincerely, Brad Smith

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.

5.Language Use

Original: The students suggest that universities should remove room phones from students' rooms. The proposal suggests that universities should remove room phones from dormitories. (clarification of the subject) However, the woman totally disagrees with the idea. The woman strongly disagrees with this proposal. (more formal language) This is because she believes that although many students have their own mobile phone now, it is necessary to have both because phone service is not always reliable. There are a lot of hills around school. So her phone cost was often cut off and its reception is not good as well. So it's better to have a backup option. And she goes on to say that she didn't believe that the new policy would save money because students pay for per call. So if they do not make a lot of call, they do not need to pay lots of money. So she suggests that universities should keep the ways now.

Revised (140 words): The proposal suggests that universities should remove room phones from dormitories. The woman strongly disagrees with this proposal, arguing that having both mobile phones and room phones is necessary due to unreliable phone service in the area, which she attributes to the hilly terrain. She mentions experiencing frequent call disconnections and poor reception on her mobile phone, making a backup option like room phones essential. Furthermore, she disputes the cost-saving aspect of the proposal, explaining that students currently pay on a per-call basis for room phone usage. As a result, those who make fewer calls pay less, allowing them to control their expenses. Therefore, she recommends maintaining the current system instead of implementing the proposed change.

Essentially, a student proposes that the university should remove the room phones in the dormitory because students have their own mobile phones, and it can save them a significant amount of money. However, the woman in the conversation disagrees with the idea for two reasons. The first reason is that the room phone can serve as a backup option. This is important because their own mobile phone service is not always reliable. Sometimes calls get cut off, and the reception is poor. The second reason is that the housing bill does not include charges for room phones. Students need to pay for room phone usage on a per-call basis. So, if they don't use the phone that much, they don't have to pay much. This is how they can avoid the bill.

Original Answer: A student proposes that the university should remove the room phone service because each student now have a mobile phone to use to make calls, and that will have a cost benefit for the students because they will save money if they don't have to pay for the room phone service. The student proposes that the university should remove the room phone service, as each student now has a mobile phone for making calls, which would provide a cost benefit by saving money if they no longer have to pay for the room phone service. (将句子结构进行了调整,使其更自然流畅。同时,修正了动词的时态和语态。)

The woman disagreed with his study because, for the first reason, it's better to have both because the mobile phone is not always reliable, the reception is sometimes not good, so it's good to have a backup option. The woman disagrees with his proposal, stating that having both options is better since mobile phones are not always reliable and reception can be poor at times, making it essential to have a backup option. (调整了句子结构,使其更清晰,并使用了更高级的词汇。)

The second reason is that the students actually pay per call this time, so if they don't make many calls, they won't have to pay much. Her second reason is that students currently pay per call; thus, if they make fewer calls, their expenses will be minimal. (调整了句子结构,使用了更高级的词汇和连接词。)

So for these two reasons, the woman considered the change to be unnecessary. Therefore, due to these two reasons, the woman considers the proposed change unnecessary. (调整了句子结构,使其更自然。)

Original: Students in the letter suggest that room phones are unnecessary. The first reason is that students have their private mobile phones, and removing phones would have a cost-benefit for students. But the woman in the listening part dislikes this idea, because first, she thinks the surface of mobile phones is not reliable, because there are a lot of hills, and the surface of the mobile phone could get cut off, so this is good for students to keep room phones if the surface of the mobile phone is not working. Secondly, she thinks students could only pay for per course, that's because if students use too many times, they will pay enough money, so students could avoid to use the room phones for saving this money.

Corrected: Students in the letter suggest that room phones are unnecessary. The first reason is that students have their private personal mobile phones, and removing phones would have a cost-benefit for students. But the woman in the listening part dislikes this idea because first, she thinks the surface service of mobile phones is not reliable(私人改为personal,更自然;surface改为service,因为这里讨论的是手机信号的可靠性). There are a lot of hills, and the surface service of the mobile phone could get cut off(去掉重复的because,使句子更简洁;surface改为service,与前文保持一致). So it is good for students to keep room phones if the surface service of the mobile phone is not working. Secondly, she thinks students could only pay for per course each call, that's because if students use it too many times, they will pay enough money, so students could avoid to use using the room phones for saving this money(per course改为each call,因为这里讨论的是电话费用;to use改为using,使句子更自然).

Revised (140 words): Students in the letter suggest that room phones are unnecessary because they have personal mobile phones, and removing room phones would be cost-effective. However, the woman in the listening part disagrees with this idea, stating that the service of mobile phones is not reliable due to the presence of hills in the area, which could cause service interruptions. Therefore, she believes it is beneficial for students to have room phones as a backup option when mobile service is unavailable. Additionally, she points out that students only pay for each call made from room phones, allowing them to control their expenses by limiting usage. Thus, she argues that maintaining the current system is a better solution for students.

Original: The student in their letter proposes The student in the letter proposes (去掉多余的代词) that the university should remove the phones from students' rooms. However, the woman in the letter disagrees with this idea for two reasons. Firstly, it is good for students to have both their personal phones and the phones in the room, because sometimes their personal phones are not reliable. There's a lot of hills in this area, so the service isn't really good. Sometimes the phone calls are just cut off because the reception is not good. So it is good for students to have a backup option. And the second reason is that students actually don't have to pay a lot of money for having dorm phones because they pay per call. If they want to avoid the high rates, they can just control how many calls they make on one of the dorm phones. So in essence, women think it is good to keep it as the way it is now, which is to keep the students' dorm phones because they are really necessary.

Revised (140 words): The student in the letter proposes that the university should remove phones from students' rooms. However, the woman disagrees for two reasons. First, having both personal and room phones benefits students since personal phone service can be unreliable due to numerous hills affecting reception quality. Thus, room phones provide a dependable backup option. Second, she argues that dorm phone costs are not burdensome as students pay per call; by limiting usage, they can control expenses. Consequently, she believes maintaining current arrangements with dorm phones is beneficial and necessary for students.

Original Answer: Well, the student thinks that the room phones are unnecessary. The reading passage proposes that room phones in dormitories are unnecessary. (原文中的建议是宿舍里的电话是不必要的,而不是学生认为如此。) First off, she says that today students all have mobile phones. Firstly, the author of the letter argues that students nowadays all have mobile phones. (这里应该指的是信的作者,而不是女生。) Besides, students can save much money if didn't have to pay the cost of phone service for the room. However, the woman disagrees with this idea. First off, she believes that the mobile phone may get cut off in some areas. Since the service of phone isn't always reliable, so it's good to have backup option. Furthermore, she argues that students only pay per call nowadays. They don't pay too much if they don't make many calls.

Revised Answer (140 words): The reading passage proposes that room phones in dormitories are unnecessary because students nowadays all have mobile phones and removing them would save money on housing costs. However, the woman disagrees with this proposal for two main reasons. Firstly, she points out that mobile phone service is not always reliable in certain areas around campus due to factors such as hills, leading to poor reception and dropped calls. Therefore, having a room phone serves as a backup option when mobile service is inadequate. Secondly, she refutes the cost-saving argument by explaining that students currently only pay per call for their room phones. As a result, if they don't make many calls, their expenses are minimal. In conclusion, the woman believes that room phones should remain in dormitories as they provide a reliable alternative to mobile phones and do not impose significant costs on students.
