Testo di Lettura

Letter to the University Newspaper I am a student who does not own a computer, so I depend on going to the computer lab to type and print all my papers. The problem is that whenever I arrive at the lab, all the computers are already taken and I wind up spending a long time waiting.I suggest we establish a sign-up sheet system that allows students to sign up for and reserve one-hour time slots in advance. This would increase efficiency and save students’ valuable time.It would also reduce the noise from people waiting in the hall outside the lab. Sincerely, Stephen Harwood

4.话题发展 The speaker provides a coherent response, summarizing the woman's opinion and reasons for disagreeing with the letter's suggestion. However, the answer could be better organized and more focused on the woman's specific points. For example, when discussing the noise issue, it would be helpful to clarify that the woman believes the new system would not reduce noise but instead create more conflicts within the computer room. To improve topic development, the speaker should work on providing clearer connections between ideas and offering more specific examples or support from the listening material.

Revised Answer (140 words): The proposed solution is to establish a sign-up sheet system. In this manner, students would be limited to using the computer lab for one hour. This could potentially increase efficiency, save time, and reduce noise in the hallway. Nonetheless, the woman disagrees with this viewpoint. She believes that if time is limited, many students may not be able to complete their assignments, leading to inconvenience and inefficiency. Furthermore, the proposed system might not be effective, as conflicts could arise when one person arrives late and another arrives on time. This would result in arguments and increased noise levels within the computer lab itself.

Original Answer: The student in the letter suggests that the university should establish a sign-up sheet system to allow students to sign up for and reserve one-hour time slots in the lab. The student in the letter proposes that the university implement a reservation system using a sign-up sheet, allowing students to reserve one-hour time slots in the computer lab. (建议使用更自然的表达方式,并使用更高级的词汇)

But the woman in the listening part doesn't like this idea because firstly she says that this suggestion is just limiting the time, which will cause a situation that students cannot finish their work in limited time. However, the woman in the listening passage disagrees with this proposal, arguing that it would impose a strict time constraint, potentially preventing students from completing their tasks within the allotted hour. (改进句子结构,使用更高级的词汇和更自然的表达方式)

Therefore, this suggestion is quite inconvenient and inefficient. As a result, she believes that this approach would be both inconvenient and inefficient. (使句子更连贯,使用更自然的表达方式)

Secondly, she thinks that this advice will make a lot of noise and lead students to get distracted because some students might show late for their time of studying. Furthermore, she contends that this system could cause increased noise and distractions, as students arriving late for their reserved slots might argue with those already using the computers.
