Make Textbook List Available Earlier Students always have to wait until the beginning of the semester to fnd out which textbooks they will need for their new courses. But since a lot of students register early for their courses, I think that the list for each course should be available immediately at the time of registration.This would give students more time to shop around to find less expensive textbooks. And it would also allow them to start work on the reading for their new courses early.SincerelyAlexandra Brown

5.语言使用Original: According to the letter, a student suggests that a list for each course should be available at once. This is because students can have more time to buy cheaper books and preview on the courses earlier. The man supports this challenge. To begin with, he points out that the books in the university bookshop are pretty high. Besides, second-hand books are sold out quickly as well. So this challenge enables students to search books on their own ways. For example, they can search on the internet to save more money. Moreover, the man argues that at the beginning of the semester, students are usually too busy to look through the books. So this challenge is very beneficial for students' study.
Corrected: According to the letter, a student suggests that a list for each course should be available at once immediately (“at once”不太符合语境,建议改为“immediately”).

Besides, second-hand books are sold out quickly as well.

So this challenge proposal (将“challenge”改为“proposal”,以保持一致性) is very beneficial for students' study.
