More Emphasis on Online Materials
The Pascal University Board has decided to put more emphasis on online reference materials rather than investing in additional books and other resources. While the library will retain its existing collection of books and resources, extra funding will be allocated towards purchasing computers and upgrading our online library system. We feel that online resources are where the future of education lies, so this is a forward-thinking decision. We hope that students will agree that this is the best use of resources.
W: What’s this?The university is going to be investing mainly in online
resources, not books or other materials?
M: It makes sense when you think about it. The library is already so
full of books and journals, there’s barely any space for new ones. I
heard that the only other option they had was to build a new library
to accommodate all the materials. Think how expensive that would
have been !
W: Wow, I didn’t realize it was that urgent. I guess it’s better to save the
money on a brand new building and develop a new online library
system then.
M: Exactly.
W: it sounds a bit complicated, though. [Student]s are used to
researching in the library, so the new online system might be
confusing.
M: I don’t think so. I actually think it will be much easier and more
convenient. Once the system is running better, we’ll be able to do our
research from home, or from the college computer lab, or even on
our laptops. Compared with having to go to the library and find the
books on the shelves, that’s much simpler.
选项
答案
[Topic] The man agrees with the plan to buy fewer hard copy materials and develop a better online library instead. [Reason 1] First of all, he thinks it’s a good idea because it’s cheaper. Apparently, there’s barely any room left for new books or journals in the library. If the school buys more books, they’ll need to build a new facility and it will be expensive. [Reason 2] Furthermore, the online system will be more convenient for students when they’re studying. Instead of having to go to the library, students will be able to do all their research online from home or on their laptops.
