                     Campus Dining Club Announced
Starting this year, the university dining hall will be transformed into The Campus Dining Club for one week at the end of each semester. During the last week of each semester, the dining hall will feature special meals prepared by the university’s culinary arts students. The school feels that this will give students who are studying cooking and food preparation valuable experience that will help them later, when they pursue careers. The university has announced that it will charge a small additional fee for these dinners in order to pay for the special gourmet food ingredients that will be required.
Listen to Track 35.

The man expresses his opinion about the plan described in the article. Briefly summarize the plan. Then state his opinion about the plan and explain the reasons he gives for holding that opinion.
Narrator
Now listen to two students discussing the article.
Female student
Did you see that article?
Male student
Yeah—and it sounds like a great idea. It’s really good for the students in that program.
Female student
Don’t they cook in class anyway?
Male student
Well, yeah, they do ... but my cousin was in the program a few years ago, and she said that it’s very different to cook for a lot of people in that kind of atmosphere than to cook for classmates.
Female student
Why is that?
Male student
Well, in class you can take your time. But, cooking for more people, there’s more pressure—I mean, you’re in a rush, people are waiting ... and it might be easy to make a mistake with all that stress ...
Female student
Then they’ll think you’re a bad chef, right?
Male student
Absolutely!
Female student
So, OK, it’s good practice. But what about the extra cost?
Male student
Well, look at it this way. You’ve eaten at some of the fancier restaurants in town, right?
Female student
Yeah, there are some great places to eat around here.
Male student
Well, these students ... they’ll be making fantastic meals. And it’s gonna be cheaper than going out to one of those restaurants.
Female student
Much cheaper actually ...
Male student
So, you know, it’ll be worth it. The meals will be as good as the ones in those expensive restaurants.
Narrator
The man expresses his opinion about the plan described in the article. Briefly summarize the plan. Then state his opinion about the plan and explain the reasons he gives for holding that opinion.
选项
答案     First, as the question states, you should provide a brief summary of the university’s plan from the reading, which is to offer meals prepared by culinary arts students at the dining hall. You can also provide a brief summary of the reason that they are doing this, which is to provide cooking students with some experience. You should not, however, spend too much time on this summary. Your summary should be clear enough for the listener to understand the plan without having access to additional information.
    After the summary, you should state the man’s opinion of the university’s plan. In this case, the man agrees with the university’s proposal.
    You should then convey the two main reasons he gives for holding that opinion. You will need to connect information from the conversation to the reading in order for the response to be complete. The man says that he agrees that a dining club will be good experience for cooking students because cooking for many people under pressure is different from cooking for classmates. You should go beyond simply saying that the man agrees that it will be good experience. You need to give the explanation for why he believes that.
    Your response should also convey the man’s second reason for agreeing with the university’s plan. The man agrees that the extra cost students will pay for these dinners will be worth it. He believes this because the culinary arts students will cook meals that are as good as those served in nice restaurants in the area.
    You should manage your time so that you are able to discuss the summary and give a full description of both reasons that the man provides.
    Your response should be intelligible, should demonstrate effective use of grammar and vocabulary, and should be well developed and coherent.
