1. They are making a mistake.
1. They are making a mistake.
2. What do you mean?
3. Look, they are trying to do away with distractions so we can study better.
4. But with this change, we won't have anywhere in the library to get together to work on group projects.
5. True, group project work is common these days.
6. So instead of buying these new units, they should use the money to bulid meeting rooms.
7. And that will reduce any noise in the main library areas.
8. Yeah, that's what we could really use.
9. There is just not as much need to work in isolation.
10. Exactly, and the other thing is what's this about overcrowding?
11. Sure we have more students enrolled at the university this year, but do we really have a problem with overcrowding?
12. I don't think so.
13. I always get a whole table to myself.
14. Right, I see empty tables there all the time.
15. It'll just be a waste of money to replace what we have since what we have now is sufficient for the amount of students that use the library.
A sample Answer to this speaking in text:
The school is planning to replace the big study tables with study cubicles in the library. In the conversation, the man thinks the school is making a mistake for the following reasons. First of all, a lot of students don’t work in isolation. If the round tables are gone, they won’t be able to work on group projects. He suggests the school to use the money to build more study rooms in order to get rid of the noise in the library. And also, he points out that the library isn’t over crowded at all, students don’t have problems finding table to study despite the enrollment increase. He thinks there are enough tables in the library for all the students.
