Task Overview

Reading Passage

Car Rental Program on Campus The university recently announced that it has made an arrangement with a local car rental company to offer rental cars to students at a discounted rate. Students can rent the cars, which will be available on campus, for short-term use to drive to places off campus. According to the dean of students, the rental cars are expected to make it easier for students to travel to town to do errands and go shopping. Also, she said that many students cannot afford to own their own car, so this new program will give them access to cars without the expense of owning one.
