4. Yeah, take her first suggestion.
5. I mean, have you seen the health center?
6. Of course, why?

8. The center suffers from lack of space, so unless they built more treatment rooms or offices or something…
9. Now, I see.
10. And also, he second suggestion….

A sample Answer to this speaking in text:
The student proposal suggests that changes need be made to improve the Student Health Center. She thinks they should hire more doctors and keep the center open seven days a week. The man disagrees with the proposal for the following reasons. First of all, the real problem is the lack of space. He thinks the center should build more treatment rooms or office instead of hiring more doctors. Second, students don’t stay on campus on the weekends, they leave two or get away. Keeping the center open is a waste of resource because no one’s there during the weekends.
