A Letter from a Student
Dear Sir or Madam:
I am writing to strongly urge the university to adopt a three-day Fall Break immediately before midterms during Fall Semester. There are two good reasons for this measure. First, after all the stress of beginning a new semester, the students need a break before the added pressure of midterms. This is especially so for freshmen like myself who are feeling a little overwhelmed by the whole college experience. The second reason is that a break will give busy students time to get ready for those midterm exams. The professors want us to do a lot of work all at once, so a couple of days free would give us the opportunity to do our works.
Randy
Now hear a conversation between two students.
Question: The woman expresses her opinion about the student’s proposal of adding a three-day fall break. State her opinion and explain the reasons she gives for holding that opinion.
M: Look Linda, your friend Randy got another letter printed in the college paper.
W: I knew he was writing something. What did he say?
M: He wants the university to add a three-day break before midterms. He thinks we need time to get ready for exams.
W: I think the proposal is great! You know... any first-year student needs time getting adjusted to their college life. They have to work harder and learn a lot of material much faster for grades than before. So a three-day break would give everybody time to really relax, and then study hard for midterms. Midterms are our first big college test.
M: That is true. I have that big English essay I still haven’t written.
W: Yes, we usually have like five or six exams just in that one little week. Plus we have papers to write for two or three classes. Therefore, students with 3 days off can have time to do assignments and research and finish their projects and papers.
M: You know, you’re probably right. In our US history course the professor wants a ten-page paper AND we have to do a two-hour essay exam. Three days would give me time to read.
W: So you see it’s really a good idea.

答案A letter from a student suggests that the university should have a three-day break before midterm exams. The female student agrees with the idea for two reasons. On the one hand, college life is fairly demanding. One has to learn a good deal of information in a fairly short time. A three-day break before exams would afford students who need it a chance to relax and get ready for their midterm. On the other hand, for the hard-working, the three-day midterm break could be put to good use. Students could study for exams or write papers due about this time. In either event, free time seems to a blessing.
