Performance Moving to Off-campus Theater
The arts department has made a decision to do the performance in an off-campus theater because the theater on campus is too small to put on a good show. Due to the development of the school’s theater arts, the performance needs more space and better equipment to produce a show with fantastic sound and stage effects. The off-campus theater provides an excellent stereo system and a complex stage which can elevate the bottom floor to the stage, making it easy to change stage settings.
   Now hear a conversation between two students.
Question: The woman expresses her opinion about the school policy. State her opinion and explain the reasons she gives for holding that opinion.
M: Hey, Lucy, I heard that the arts department will put on their performances in an off-campus theater.
W: Yes, and I don’t think this is a smart decision.
M: Why don’t you think so?
W: Well, first, I don’t think students are willing to go off-campus to see the show. The theater is 10 miles from the campus and the bus only comes once an hour on the weekends. On weekdays, I would rather study than take the bus to watch a late show that’s so far out of the downtown area.
M: I don’t want to go that far to see a show either, but they say that the theater has a better stereo system and a complex stage.
W: This equipment is nice, but I don’t think it’s easy to handle these new toys.
M: What do you mean?
W: Since most plays are produced and performed by students from the arts department, they still lack professional experience in many things.
M: You mean they are not familiar with the advanced equipment?
W: Yes, some students I know have just started to learn the basics of theater: they don’t know how to control complex sound effects and move the stage according to plot development.
M: They are just students.
W: Imagine they are giving a show, but are not good at moving the stages. The show will become chaos with the wrong stage placement.

答案The arts department has decided to do the plays in an off-campus theater because it has a better stereo system and a better stage to give a good performance. The woman thinks it is a bad idea because this new policy won’t attract many students. First, she thinks few students are willing to go there because it is far from the campus, and students need to take a bus to go there. Buses are not frequent on weekends and students are too busy studying to go to the show on weekdays. Also, the woman thinks students will not be good at managing the advanced equipment in the new theater. Due to the fact that many students have just started to study theater, many of them do not know how to control the sound and stage movement. The whole show will be a disaster if the stage movement goes wrong during the performance.
