Passage
Letter
in the Centerville College News
The
administration has announced plans to acquire a
new
sculpture for campus. We should all oppose
this plan. The
university’s poor financial
condition led it to increase the
price for
campus housing and tuition by 15% this past year.
Surely then it is in no financial position to
purchase such
an expensive sculpture.
Moreover, just look at the sculpture：
several
60-foot long steel plates, jutting out of the
earth
at odd angles! It’s just so large, it’ll
take up all the
green space in front of the
campus center! This is public
space that
should be reserved for students to use.
Conversation
Now listen to two students
discussing the opinion
expressed in the
letter.
Man： Did you see Paul’s letter
in the paper about the
new sculpture?
Woman： Yeah, but it was totally unconvincing. His
reasons for opposing the plan are just totally
off. I am glad
that we’ll finally have some
nice art on campus. I’d like
to shake the
donor’s hand and say “thank you.”
Man：
What do you mean the donor?
Woman： You didn't know? An anonymous donor is
paying the
bill for most of the sculpture.
Man： Not the university?
Woman：
No! His assumptions about who’s paying are all
wrong!
Man： Still, I wonder if he
has a point about the space
it’ll take up?
Woman： Well, you know why Paul is upset. He
and his
friends are always out there on the
lawn right where the
sculpture will be,
kicking around the soccer ball. Now
they’ll
just have to use another part of the campus to
play.
Man： Oh! So he just doesn't want
to have to move.
Woman： Yeah! For him,
it’s sculpture versus convenience.
Question
Explain why the woman disagrees
with the reasons
expressed in the letter.
Key Points
1. in no financial
position
2. large & take up public green
space, student use
TPO1口语Task3参考答案(范文模板)：
The woman doesn’t
agree with the letter’s proposal to
boycott
the new sculpture purchase on campus. According to
the letter, the school is too poor to afford
such an
expensive sculpture but the woman says
the school doesn’t
have to pay much.
Instead, it’s an unknown donorwho’s gonna
pay
for the artwork. The letter also notes that the
sculpture
is so large that it takes up too
much green space, which
should be kept for
student use, but the woman points out that
the
person who wrote the letter & his friends use that
green
space to playsoccer, so for him, the
sculpture may cause
trouble cos they’ll have
to go somewhere else to play -
it’s hard to
say whether it’ll affect other students as
well. In fact, the woman’s happy to see some
nice art on
campus.
