Task：Integrated speaking

Reading Part: Bicycle Borrowing Program

It’s great that the university has a program where students can borrow bicycles from the gym. However, two changes would make the program more convenient. First, the borrowing period should be shortened to four hours maximum so that more bikes would be available when students want to borrow them. Second, currently, students who borrow bikes have to leave a cash deposit, which is returned to them when they return the bikes, but I think students should be required to leave their student identification cards instead, so they don’t have to remember to bring cash.

Sincerely,

Susan Lee

Listening Part:

(woman) Hey, did you read that letter? What do you think?

(man) Yeah, I read it. I understand what she’s saying but I really don’t agree with her suggestions.

(woman) How come?

(man) Well, students often need to borrow the bikes for longer periods of time, sometimes a whole day.

(woman) What for?

(man) Well, like, to do stuff off-campus, for instance, my friends and I on the weekends, sometimes we like to ride bikes to the state park outside of town and do some hiking there. And it basically takes a whole day. It’s night time by the time when we get back.

(woman) So if you had less time you wouldn’t be able to do that.

(man) Right, and also her other suggestion doesn’t seem practical to me.

(woman) The card thing?

(man) Yeah, that’s not gonna work. What if you want to enter a campus building? Even though you can get into most of the classroom buildings without a card, there are certain buildings on campus where you need to show your card to get in, like the library and dining hall.

(woman) Yeah, that’s true, so students wouldn’t be able to go to any of those places till they got their cards back.

Question：Summarize the proposal,then state his opinion about the proposal and explain the reasons he gives for holding that opinion.

Sample Answer:

The university does have a bicycle borrowing program that benefits the students. The letter from a student named Susan indicates that if the borrowing period can be shortened and cash deposit can be replaced by students’ ID card, it would be more convenient. However, in the conversation, the man doesn’t agree with her suggestions. First of all, if shortened the borrowing time to two hours, it would cause a lot of troubles. For instance, the man and his friend often ride the bicycle off campus and take a hike, which might cost them the whole day. If less time is allowed, they would not be able to do that. Furthermore, using the ID card is not practical for the man. Lots of places can be entered only with students’ ID card such as library and dining hall. So, if the card is used to borrow bicycles, he will not be able to go to these places, which causes more inconvenience.
