Task Overview

Reading Passage

Combine Student and Faculty Dining Sometimes my friends and l have trouble finding seats together when we try to eat in thedining hall because it is crowded. The dining area for students and the dining area forprofessors are currently divided by a wall, and I think the situation would be improved bycombining these two areas. Combining the student and faculty dining rooms would givestudents more space to eat, since the faculty dining room i generally much less busy. Also.if students and professors had the opportunity to eat together it would encourage positivesocial interactions between them, and they could enjoy interesting discussions together overmeals. Sincerely, Brian Hanson
