[Reading time: 45 seconds]
Narrator 1: Now listen to two students who are talking about the plan.
Man: I don’t like to cook, but I don’t like to eat in the cafeteria every day either.
Woman: True. The food does get kind of... same old same old.
Man: My point exactly. And besides, I go home about every other weekend, so paying for my meals when I’m not there doesn’t make a lot of sense.
Woman: Right. So you’ll probably sign up for the five-day plan next semester.
Man: I already did. If I want to eat in the cafeteria some weekend, I can just buy a meal, but I’d probably go out somewhere with my friends if I’m here over the weekend.
Woman: Well, I don’t go home on the weekends as much as you do, but I still eat out a lot on the weekends.
Man: So the five-day plan might work out better for you, too. I’m really glad to have the option.
Narrator 1: The man expresses his opinion of the new meal plan. Report his opinion, and explain the reasons that he gives for having that opinion.
Narrator 2: Please prepare your answer after the beep.
