W: What I don't get is how they can charge us student dues for things like live entertainment, which many people don't even use, but they can't charge us for something like a recycling program. And, like anything, the budget is always to blame. I mean, what type of institution goes through more paper than a university? But, she had a point about the lack of bins for recycling paper. I agree that the writer obviously didn't check her facts. It's just that I read this article in the campus paper today that suggests that none of the dormitories on campus are recycling. My roommate and I have one too, and we put it out with our garbage each week. I think they have them available in the housing office. Why do you ask Mark? Are you wondering where to go to pick one up. M: Hey Lisa, you and your roommate have a recycling bin in your dormitory room, don't you? I'm sure I've thrown a water bottle in a bin at your place before. Transcript for listening conversation question 3: She thinks that the university could pay for a better recycling program by including some of the cost in the student fees. In particular, she is concerned that there is no effort being made to recycle paper on campus. Though she agrees that there is an error in the article regarding the lack of recycling in the residences, she believes that more should be done to improve the recycling program on campus. The woman also read the article that the man refers to. Why does the woman approve of the article? State her opinion and explain the reasons she gives for holding that opinion. Now listen to two students discuss the article. When asked why another company is not used, Wicker cited university finances as an obstacle. When asked why no recycling bins for paper have been placed on campus, U of C president, James Wicker, explained that the company the university employs to pick up recycling does not currently recycle paper. This means that almost all of the paper that is discarded on campus, including U of C residences, is being disposed of in the regular garbage. In comparison, the students counted 30 vending machines, the majority of which carry plastics, cans, and glass bottles. How does an Ivy League educational institute, such as U of C get away with being so nonchalant about recycling? After a recent search across campus, volunteers from the U of C Environmental Watch group counted only 10 recycling bins. Take notes on the main points of the reading passage. Then you will answer a question that relates to both of them.ģ. In question 3 and 4 you will read a short passage and then you will hear a short talk on the same subject. While the convenience of an online course is attractive to me, I know my grade would suffer. In addition I learn better when I hear somebody presenting the information than I do just by reading it. Even when I'm studying for exams or writing essays, I have to do my work in the library where I can't be interrupted. While my roommate has no problem turning off her phone while she is studying, I'm the type of person who worries that I will miss an important call. I believe it takes a lot of discipline to study at home, and I am a person who is easily distracted. If I had the choice between an online course and a course at a college or university, I would choose the classroom setting.
