Original Answer: Her students propose The letter-writer proposes (原文中提到的是信件作者的建议，而不是学生们的建议) that the university should build a parking lot near the humanities building to solve the need, and the wooden area could be the ideal location. However, the woman disagrees with the idea. She thinks that the dining hall and library and other lots of places could be used to park. Although those places need students to work a little, but it's okay. What's more, she also thinks that the wooden area could not be cleared away. It is the only wooden area for students to sit there and have a nice day to relax themselves. So she thinks that the proposal is not a practical plan to solve the problem.

Revised Answer (140 words): The letter-writer proposes that the university should build a parking lot near the humanities building to address the parking issue, suggesting that a wooded area nearby could serve as an ideal location. However, the woman disagrees with this proposal. She believes that alternative parking options are available at locations such as the dining hall and library, which may require students to walk a short distance but are still viable options. Furthermore, she argues against clearing away the wooded area, as it is one of the few remaining green spaces on campus where students can relax and enjoy nature. In her opinion, destroying this valuable space for an unnecessary parking lot is not a practical solution to address parking concerns.

Revised Answer (140 words): The proposal suggests that the university should build a parking lot near the Humanities building to address the lack of available parking spaces in the area. However, the woman disagrees with this idea for two main reasons. First, she points out that there are alternative parking options nearby, such as at the dining hall or library, which are only a few blocks away. She believes that students can walk a short distance and do not necessarily need a parking spot right outside their destination. Second, she emphasizes the importance of preserving the wooded area behind the Humanities building, as it is one of the few remaining green spaces on campus. The woman argues that this area provides a pleasant environment for students to study or relax in and should not be destroyed to make way for an unnecessary parking lot.
