Reading passage

Suggestion to Add Food and Beverages at the Bookstore I believe the campus bookstore should expand its offerings to include snacks and drinks. It would be helpful to have a small area with tables and chairs where students can relax with a drink or snack while browsing books or thinking about their purchases. This would also be a convenient option for students who need a quick bite between classes before heading to their next lecture. Best regards, Vanessa Nolan

Listening transcript

Narrator:Now, listen to two students discussing the letter.

Man:Hey, what do you think about this idea?

Woman:Well, it sounds great, but I don't actually think it would work very well.

Man:Oh really?

Woman:Yeah, I mean I get what he's saying, but I don't think he's thought about the problems with that kind of thing.

Man:No?

Woman:No, I'm worried about the books. It'd be really easy to spill something on them accidentally. And then they could get ruined. And some of them are really expensive.

Man:Yeah, even if people try to be careful, that would probably happen sometimes.

Woman:Exactly. And the other thing is we already have the convenient store in the student center, which sells that same kind of stuff.

Man:That's true.

Woman:And the student center is actually much closer to the academic buildings where classes are held. The bookstore's all the way on the other side of campus. It's not close to the buildings where students are taking classes. So I don't think students would really go there between classes the way he says.
