5.Language Use

There is an article about the school's computer classes that the school will start off removingadding(corrected for clarity) classes because the day classes are too crowded. But the man in the conversation doesn't agree with this idea because first of all, he thinks many students are busy at night and many already have their scheduleschedules(corrected for plural form), such as staystaying(corrected for verb form) with their families and have some other classes, so it won't be better in the night. Furthermore, the man also suggests that this idea won't save much money because it's very expensive to hire teachers at night and it's very expensive to keep the building open. Furthermore,(removed for redundancy) he also suggests that computers are cheaper these days and the computer classrooms are very big and have enough space to add more computers.

Revised Answer (140 words):

5.Language Use

The university is thinking of having evening nighttime computer classes. The reason given is that the morning computer classes do not have enough computers for all the students. However, the man disagrees with this idea. It will not solve the problem. This is because the students' nights are rather busy. They have jobs, families, clubs, and events. Thus, they will not be able to find the time for an evening computer class. The second problem is expenses. The man thinks that it will cost too much to hire teachers and keep the building open for evening classes. At the same time, computer prices have come down. So, just buying more computers for the morning computer classes will suffice. In addition, the room for the computer classes are is (correcting subject-verb agreement) very big. So, there will be space for these new computers. Thus, in conclusion, these are the two reasons why the man thinks evening computer classes should not be allowed.

Revised Answer (140 words):

The university is considering offering nighttime computer classes due to overcrowding in morning sessions and insufficient computers for all students. However, the man opposes this proposal as it fails to address the core issue: students' busy schedules during evenings with jobs, family commitments, clubs, and social events make it difficult to attend nighttime classes. Additionally, he argues that the financial burden of hiring extra teachers and extending building hours outweighs simply purchasing more computers for existing morning sessions. With declining computer prices and ample classroom space available, investing in additional computers seems a more cost-effective solution. In conclusion, based on these two reasons - students' busy evenings and financial concerns - the man believes that offering evening computer classes is not the most effective solution.

Revised Answer (140 words):

The passage informs students that evening computer classes will be added for two reasons: daytime computer classes are overcrowded, and this policy can alleviate this issue without incurring significant expenses. However, in the conversation, the man disagrees with this approach. He argues that it will not effectively solve the problem because students are already occupied at night with jobs, families, clubs, and social activities, making it difficult for them to fit evening classes into their schedules. Additionally, he believes that the university would incur greater costs by hiring more teachers and keeping the building open late at night. Instead, he suggests purchasing more computers since their prices have decreased in recent years and there is ample space in the computer department classrooms to accommodate additional computers.

5.Language Use

The man in the conversation is highly opposed against ("against" is more natural in this context) the policy made by the computer department to add computer lessons at night. Firstly, he asserts that many students are busy at night, they have a lot of things to do with their family or their works or something else, though they are occupied both in weekdays or weekends. Secondly, he thinks that it can't solve the problem because it is more costly for the school to hire more teachers and keep the teaching building open in the night. And he thinks that the classroom is big enough to contain more computers and the old computers can be sold by the school to compensate for their costs.

Revised Answer (140 words):

The man in the conversation is strongly against the computer department's proposal to add evening computer classes. He believes that many students have busy schedules at night, including work, family commitments, and extracurricular activities, making it difficult for them to attend evening classes. Furthermore, he argues that this solution would not be cost-effective for the school as hiring additional teachers and keeping the building open at night would be more expensive than simply purchasing more computers. He also points out that computer prices have decreased significantly in recent years, making it more affordable for the department to invest in new equipment. Additionally, he suggests that there is ample space in the classrooms to accommodate extra computers and that selling old computers could help offset expenses.

Original Answer: The man thinks the decision of schedule change is incorrect, and here's two specific reasons why. First, schedule changing does not solve the problem. Students are usually busy at night, dealing with jobs, families, sports, or they have their own social life, which does not help decrease the number of students on the daytime class. Secondly, when it comes to expense, schedule changing won't save any money, because it takes even more money to hire more teachers teaching the night class. Instead of doing this, the students created a better way of decreasing expense, comparing to schedule changing, and that's by buying more computers. He believes that nowadays computer prices are much more lower, and affordable by schools.

Original Answer: The man in the conversation is highly opposed to the policy made by the computer department to add computer lessons at night. Firstly, he asserts that many students are busy at night, they have a lot of things to do with their family or their works or something else, though they are occupied both in weekdays or weekends. Secondly, he thinks that it can't solve the problem because it is more costly for the school to hire more teachers and keep the teaching building open in the night. And he thinks that the classroom is big enough to contain more computers and the old computers can be sold by the school to compensate for their costs.

(Use "strongly" instead of "highly" for a more natural-sounding expression. Replace "made" with "proposed" for better word choice.
