Students Need Campus Snack Shop I think the university should open a snack shop on campus—a snack shop that would be operated entirely by our students. A student-run snack shop would benefit students in two ways. First, it would create a number of job opportunities for students. Second, the store would be a convenient place on campus to buy food, providing students with a fast, easy place to get snacks at any time of the day. Sincerely,Julia Wilson

23. 3.Delivery

The speaker's delivery is generally clear and fluid, but there are occasional pauses that disrupt the flow. To improve, the speaker should practice speaking more consistently and work on reducing unnecessary pauses. Additionally, the speaker should focus on accurate pronunciation to avoid any spelling errors that may arise from mispronunciation.

4.Topic Development The response is coherent and well-organized, with clear connections between ideas. However, there is room for improvement in providing more specific examples or support for the points made. To enhance topic development, the speaker should consider elaborating on the benefits of a student-run snack shop and provide more concrete examples to strengthen their argument.

It's suggested for students to use this time to study and eat in the school.
