Original: The reading passage announces the change to the campus. To be more specific, it announces the close of student vegetable garden.

However, the student might prefer to hang out at a more shaded place.

Revised (140 words): The reading passage announces a change to the campus, specifically the closure of the student vegetable garden. In the conversation, the man strongly opposes this change for two main reasons. First, he believes that instead of giving up on the vegetable garden, the university should have provided students with more guidance and instructions on planting vegetables. This would have allowed them to better understand and manage their plots. Second, he thinks that this sunny location is not ideal for other purposes, such as studying or socializing. The space is perfect for growing vegetables due to its exposure to sunlight; however, students might prefer to hang out in more shaded areas for comfort. Therefore, he argues that the university should reconsider its decision and continue supporting the vegetable garden initiative.
