Testo di Lettura

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.
