Original Answer: The reading says the student association have purchased a new sound system for Old Lincoln House to give a better environment for students to watch a movie. But the listening have an opposite idea with it. The speaker thinks that the student association is just wasting money to purchase the sound system first. The Old Lincoln House is like 200 years ago and it used to be a gym. So the sound environment over there is very terrible. The new sound system won't improve anything. And moreover, the students have other social activities besides watching movie. They got better choice and most of them won't choose to watch the movie.

Corrected Answer: The reading states that the student association has purchased a new sound system for Old Lincoln Hall to provide a better environment for students to watch movies. However, the listening presents an opposing view. The speaker believes that the student association is wasting money on purchasing the sound system. Old Lincoln Hall, which is around 200 years old and used to be a gym, has terrible acoustics. Therefore, the new sound system will not improve anything. Furthermore, students have other social activities besides watching movies, offering better choices, and most of them would not choose to watch movies. (将have改为has，House改为Hall，listening后加presents，with it改为view，first去掉，ago去掉，over there改为in that place，watching movie改为watching movies，got改为offering，watch the movie改为watch movies)

Revised Answer (140 words): The reading passage states that Northfield College's student association has purchased a new sound system for Old Lincoln Hall in order to enhance the movie-watching experience for students on campus. However, the listening passage presents an opposing view, with the speaker arguing that this investment is a waste of money. The speaker points out that Old Lincoln Hall, a 200-year-old building that was once a gym, has poor acoustics, rendering the new sound system ineffective. Additionally, the speaker contends that students have alternative social activities available to them besides watching movies. These other options may be more appealing to students, leading them to choose activities other than movie-watching. In conclusion, the speaker believes that the student association's decision to purchase a new sound system for Old Lincoln Hall is misguided and will not yield the desired results.
