TPO25口语Task3题目:
Split Graduation
Traditionally,the university holds one ceremony for all graduating students, during which students are awarded their diplomas. Beginning this year, however, the university willhold two graduation ceremonies. Under the new arrangement, half the graduatingstudents will participate in the first ceremony, and the other half will participatein a second ceremony to be held the following day. Administrators cite two reasons for the change. First, the number of students has increased in recent years,and since diplomas are awarded individually, the single ceremony has become uncomfortablylong. Also, the hall where the ceremony is held is too small to accommodate the growing audience of friends and family members.
Conversation
Now listen to two students discussing the article.
Woman: You know, I wish they wouldn't do this.
Man: Why?
Woman: Well, I think it’s unnecessary, I mean, as far as the first reason goes. Yeah, sure, it takes a long time to have everyone receive their diploma individually, especially now that there are more students, but there’s an easy way to make it shorter.
Man: What’s that?
Woman: Reduce the number of speeches. I mean, a lot of people give speeches, students, professors, administrators, the president of the university. Do we really need that many speeches?
Man: Probably not, and a lot of the speeches are pretty boring anyway, so, yeah, we probably could cut out a few.
Woman: Yeah, and I don’t think their second reason’s very good either, about the space.
Man: How’s that?
Woman: The problem isn’t the size of the hall. It’s that they allow students to invite too many people to come and watch. All they need to do is reduce the number of guests each graduating student gets to invite.
Man: Yeah, I guess that could solve the problem.
Woman: Yeah, I mean, right now each graduating student can invite up to ten people. That’s too many. At most schools, students only get to invite like four or five people. It we just said, “OK, you can only invite six people.” That’ll still be more than most other schools and the ceremony could stay the way it is.

TPO25口语Task3参考答案(范文模板):
The woman doesn’t agree with school’s plan to have two graduation ceremonies on two separate days instead of just one. According to the school, there are a lot more students attending the university and having only one ceremony takes too long cos diplomas are awarded individually, but the woman says that the ceremony is so long cos there are too many speeches and if they would just get rid of some, it would be a lot shorter. The school also notes that the hall where the ceremony is held is too small to be able to hold all of the people attending, but the woman points out that the school currently allows a student to invite up to 10 people, so if they would just reduce the number of people a student is allowed to invite, they could keep the ceremony the way it is now.
