The food cooperative society in Brown University hopes to welcome more students to join them. The following passage is an announcement about it. You will have 45 seconds to read the passage.
Begin reading now.
Now listen to two students as they discuss the announcement.
Student A I want to join it myself. Do you like the food cooperative society? Do they have a lot of variety?
Student B I like the food cooperative society very much, and especially, I am quite satisfied with the fresh products, fair price and membership system. But the food cooperative society doesn’t have everything, and I still have to go to the supermarket to buy some products such as sporting goods, batteries and so on.
Student A OK! How about the membership fee?
Student B The membership fee is not very high, that is $20 per year. However, if you work there for two hours every month, you don’t have to pay for it. Then you can also enjoy your shopping. There is a membership meeting every month to inform us to know more about healthy food.
Student A That’s great. I would like to work there some time, which will help me to learn about foods and distinguish between junk food and healthy food. Green and nutritious foods play a very important role in our health. Do they have a trial membership?
Student B Of course, the shortest membership is two months. I don’t know the accurate charge for the short membership, but it is definitely more expensive than the longer one.
Student A That is good. See you next time in the membership meeting.
