Task Overview
Reading Passage
Pay Theater Assistants Currently, the assistants who help with the production of plays on campus are student volunteers who are not paid or fully trained. I suggest that the theater department pay the assistants who help out with plays and also give them special training. As someone who has been in campus productions, I know that using volunteers doesn't work because they often arrive late for rehearsals, or not at all, and they don't know a lot about operating stage equipment. However, paid assistants would be more motivated to provide reliable help. They would also be able to operate stage equipment more effectively because they would have better training. Sincerely, Sally Smith

Revised Answer (140 words):
In the letter, the student suggests paying theater assistants. This will not only improve the theater but also provide them with training. The man agrees with this idea. Firstly, he mentions that some students who work as volunteers can have another job to earn money. So if schools can hire them as theater assistants, they can work more diligently and enhance the theater's quality. Secondly, nowadays, the equipment is more complicated. So if professionals can teach them how to use the equipment step by step, it can not only train them but also improve the theater's performance. Overall, paying and training theater assistants would lead to a better and more efficient theater environment.
