Read a short passage and listen to a talk on the same topic. Reading Time: 45 seconds Withdrawal from Classes In

Narrator 2: Number 3. Read a short passage and listen to a talk on the same topic. Then listen for a question about them. After you hear the question, you have 30 seconds to prepare and 60 seconds to record your answer.
Narrator 1: A new policy for withdrawal from classes at the university has been established. Read the policy in the college catalogue printed on page 310. You have 45 seconds to complete it. Please begin reading now.
[Reading time: 45 seconds]
Narrator 1: Now listen to the students discuss the policy with each other.
Woman: The difference in this policy from the old policy is... now you only have three reasons to request a full refund after the first week.., illness, death in the family, or military service.
Man: Right, but that about covers it, don’t you think?
Woman: Not really. In the old policy, you could drop out to help your family~ Look, let’s say that your mother’s sick. She’s not dying but she needs care. Then what? If you drop out to help her, you just lose your tuition.
Man: Oh, I see. So you think that there should be more flexibility.
Woman: Yeah. I think every case should be decided on its own merits. This policy is too...too
Man: Too narrow?
Woman: Too rigid. I think at least some students will have other good reasons to withdraw and they’ll just have to take a partial reimbursement because they won’t be able to document their eligibility I’d like to see a procedure, you know, a way to petition for eligibility  I’d like to see that added to the policy.
Narrator 1: The student expresses her opinion of the policy for reimbursement~ Report her opinion and explain the reasons that she gives for having that opinion.
