TPO13口語Task3題目:
    Passage
    New Stadium
    A university official announced plans to spend $2 million to build a new stadium, commenting that a new stadium would help the university achieve its goal of attracting more top students. The official also said that, additionally, building a new stadium would allow the university to strengthen its relationship with the town since a new and larger stadium would have the space to seat not only students, parents, and alumni, but members of the local community as well.
    Conversation
    Now listen to two students discussing the article.
    Man: So what do you think of the university’s new plan?
    Woman: Oh, I don’t know. I don’t think it’s gonna work.
    Man: No?
    Woman: I mean, I can’t imagine top students being too thrilled about some of the conditions on this campus.
    Man: What do you mean?
    Woman: Like, the science laboratory having such old outdated equipment and the library needing more books, and the student center being so small. I think that the 2 million could be spent in better places if the university is really serious about achieving its goal.
    Man: OK. But what about the other reason for building the stadium? I mean right now we have so little contact with the town.
    Woman: Yeah, but this won’t help relations. Look, people from town hardly ever come to the games because our teams always lose. And they’re not suddenly going to improve over night. Besides, adding seats won’t make a difference. I mean, if people from town didn't come before, they won’t come now just because the place is bigger.
    Question
    The woman expresses her opinion about the university’s plan. State her opinion and explain the reasons she gives for holding that opinion.
    Key Points
    1. more top students
    2. more locals

    The woman doesn’t agree with the school’s plan to build a new athletic stadium. According to the school, a new stadium would help the university to attract more top-students, but the woman says that a lot of the “top-students” wouldn’t be very happy about a new stadium,what with the science labs needing new materials and the library needing new books, not to mention the student center being way toosmall as well. So she thinks the money could be spent in betterplaces. The school also notes that the new stadium would help its relationship with the town since it will allow a lot more seats, but the woman points out that the school’s teams suck and never win anyways, so no one ever even comes to the games. She thinks that adding seats won’t make a difference cos if people didn’t come before, they won’t with a new stadium either.
