Now read the announcement about hiring a professional director for Spring Musical. You will have 45 seconds to read the article. Begin reading now.
Professional Director for Spring Musical
Usually, the spring musical, the largest theatrical production of the year, is directed by students. This year, however, the university has hired a professional theater director, David Franks, to direct the show. Mr. Franks has directed many plays during his long, distinguished career in the theater. University officials think the theater students who sing, dance, and act in the show will learn a lot from working with an accomplished director. Additionally, university officials believe that a professional director will attract larger student audience. According to one official, "More students will come to see the show because they’ve heard of Mr. Franks before—they’ll recognize his name."
Now listen to two students discussing the announcement.
The woman expresses her opinion about the change proposed in the announcement. Briefly summarize the change, then state her opinion about the change and explain the reasons she gives for holding that opinion.
Now listen to two students discussing the announcement.
M: Hey Paula! You usually act in these productions. What do you think about this decision?
W: I don’t like it at all.
M: But you’re a theater major, so wouldn’t this benefit you?
W: How can it if the guy they hired already has a busy career? He’s already directing several other shows in the city and from what I hear, he’ll only be on campus like once a week.
M: Oh, that’s not much time.
W: I mean, I’m in this show and I’m afraid we’ll be left to work on the songs and practice the dances all by ourselves. This new director just won’t be able to give the show his full attention.
M: Hmm…
W: We’d be much better off with a student directing because a student can hold rehearsals more often. I mean, there’s no point in practicing if the director isn’t actually present. You don’t get as much out of it.
M: Well, there’s another benefit to hire him.
W: You mean getting more people to go? Actually, I think the university’s wrong there too.
M: But isn’t the guy pretty famous?
W: Sure, famous in his field, in the world of the theater. Students like me who love musical theater, we know him, but average students have no idea who he is. They’ve never even heard of him.
M: Yeah, actually I’ve never heard of him before myself.

答案
The spring musical of this year will be directed by a professional theatrical director, rather than by students as usual. The university believes that students who take part in the musical will learn a lot from an accomplished director, and his reputation will attract more students to watch the musical. However, as a student actor, the woman disagrees with this plan. She thinks that the director is already having a full plate, directing several musicals at the same time. So he’ll not devote much time to the musical. In comparison, a student director will be more available and can hold rehearsals more often. Besides, the woman thinks that average students don’t know much about the famous director and won’t go to the musical just because of his presence.
