TOEFL Speaking Task 2 Practice 022

Narrator:Now listen to two students discussing the letter.

Woman:Hey, Jimmy, did you read this?

Man:I did, yeah, what do you think about it?

Woman:I don't know. I don't think it'd be a very good idea.

Man:Oh, yeah? But it's true that a lot of us have our own phones.

Woman:Yeah, but it's good to have both. The service we get with our own phones isn't always reliable. Maybe it's 'cause there are a lot of hills around here, but, my service doesn't work that well in this area. A lot of times calls get cut off or the reception isn't good. I can't hear the person on the other line.

Man:Yeah, I've had some friends say that too actually.

Woman:So it's good to have a backup option, something we can use if our own phones aren't working.

Man:I see what you mean. But when you think of the money... Woman: Well, I don't buy his argument there either. Because I don't know if you've noticed this on the housing bill we get from the university, but right now we only pay per call.

Man:Oh, really?

Woman:Yeah, so if you don't make many calls, you don't pay much. I mean if you use it a lot, of course, you'll pay more, but students can avoid that if they just avoid using it as much as possible.

Man:Oh, I see. OK. Woman: So I think they should just keep it the way it is now.
