Notice to all students using the parking area

This is to announce that the management has decided to expand the parking area due to the following reasons:
・increase in the number of students
・illegal parking
All students are not allowed to use the parking area from April 14 to May 31 due to construction activities.
We will provide a free bus service from the campus to the station from 6:00 a.m. to 7:00 p.m. during the mentioned dates.
Any questions should be directed to the management office.
We appreciate your understanding and thank you for your cooperation.

PART C_2

Female:	Have you seen the announcement about the parking construction?
Male:	Yes, I think it’s ridiculous!
Female:	Ridiculous? Why do you think so?
Male:	First, the duration of the construction is too long. It will take more than a month. We all know the public transportation is busy in April because it’s the start of the school year.
Female:	That’s true. Every April, the public transportation is busy.
Male:	The management should schedule all construction activities during spring vacation instead.
Female:	I agree. That way, it will not cause any inconvenience to students.
Male:	Also, it’s unrealistic. They will offer a free bus service, but the operating hours are only until 7:00 p.m. We might miss the last bus since our last class ends at 6:50 p.m.
Female:	Well, I think there is not much that we can do. Let us ask for our professor’s help.
Male:	I don’t think our professor can really help us with this. Let’s just request to extend the operating hours of the bus service.

PART C_8

The female student and the male student are talking about an announcement made by the management.
According to the announcement, all students are not allowed to use the parking area from April 14 to May 31 due to construction activities.

The male student disagrees with the management’s decision and gives two reasons why he is against it.
First, he feels that it is ridiculous that the duration of the construction is too long. He argues that the management should schedule all construction activities during spring vacation instead. It is because the public transportation is busy in April since it’s the start of the school year.

Second, he adds that the bus operating hours are only until 7:00 p.m. He says that some students might miss the last bus since their last class ends at 6:50 p.m.
For these reasons, the male student doesn’t support the expansion of the parking area in their school.

PART E_1

Now, please read aloud the following dialogue with your tutor. I will read the female part, and you will read the male part.

次に講師と以下の会話文を音読してください。講師はFemaleパートを読むのでMaleパートを読みましょう。

PART E_2

Female:	Hi, John.
Male:	Hi, Kate. Did you see the announcement at the library?
Female:	Yes, I saw it this morning and I have to return some books.
Male:	I think the temporary closing of the library from November 28 to December 22 is unreasonable.
Female:	Why do you think so?
Male:	Well, it’ll be held during our examination week, right?
Female:	Yeah, our examination week is from December 5 to December 14.
Male:	You see, it’s going to be inconvenient for us students. The library maintenance is scheduled to be finished before winter vacation. But, I think the administration office should conduct it during winter vacation instead. This is a university, so they should not interfere with the students’ examination schedule.
Female:	Do you usually study at the library?
Male:	Yes. It’s quiet there, so I can concentrate well on studying.
Female:	I see. Studying in the library promotes a good mood to students.
Male:	Actually, we have a study space next to the cafeteria. I sometimes go there after class, but all seats are occupied most of the time, so I go to the library.
Female:	That’s right. The study space is always crowded.
Male:	I think I’ll go ahead and raise this concern to the administration office now. I’ll see you around!

PART E_8

The female student and the male student are talking about the announcement made by the school library.
According to the announcement, the library will be temporarily closed from November 28 to December 22.

The annual maintenance and pest control will take place from November 28 to December 22. All students are not allowed to enter the library on the mentioned dates.

The male student disagrees with the announcement and gives two reasons.
First, he thinks that the annual maintenance and insect nuisance control will be inconvenient for the students. It is because the duration of the construction activities interferes with the students’ examination schedule. He says the administration office should conduct it during winter vacation instead.

Second, he adds that the study space next to the cafeteria is always crowded. He says students do not have enough space to study.
In short, the male student gives a couple of reasons why he is against the annual library maintenance taking place during their examination schedule.
