　　Passage
　　University Choir to Enter Off-Campus Singing Competitions
　　Currently, the university choir gives singing concerts only on campus. Next year, however, the choir will add competitive events at other locations to its schedule. The choir ’s new director feels that entering singing competitions will make the quality of the choir’s performance even better than it is now. “Competitions will motivate students in the choir to pursue a higher standard of excellence in singing,” he said. In addition, it is hoped that getting the choir off campus and out in the public will strengthen the reputation of the university’s music program. This in turn will help the program grow.
　　Conversation
　　Now listen to two students discussing the article.
　　Woman: Jim, you’re in the choir, right? What do you think about what they are doing next year? This article?
　　Man: I really like it.
　　Woman: Yeah?
　　Man: Yeah! The new director is right that it’ll motivate us.
　　Woman: How’s that?
　　Man: Well, some of the other schools are really good, so we’ll really have to work hard to go up against them.
　　Woman: Yeah!
　　Man: I mean, right now, we don’t rehearse more than once a week. But if we know we’d be competing with other schools, we’d probably rehearse more often and improve our singing the line.
　　Woman: That’s true, uh, the more you practice the better you get. So, uh, what about the article said about how this will help the program?
　　Man: I hope it works. Right now, the program is pretty small but we have some really talented people and it would be great to attract even more people.
　　Woman: So, how would this plan help?
　　Man: Well, if we go to these off campus events and other people hear us and think we are really good, we might be able to get some new students interested in coming to this university, to be a part of our music program and perform in our choir concerts.
　　Woman: You’re right! I haven’t really thought about that.

　　The man endorses the school’s plan to add competitive events to the choir and also allow travel to other places on the choir schedule. According to the school’s new choir director, he feels that the students will be more motivated to sing better through having competition, and the man reckons it’s true, saying that students will be more motivated cos a lot of the other schools that will be competing are really good and students will want to practice more often. The school also notes that getting the choir out in public in more places will increase the reputation of the school’s music program and help it grow, and the man adds that the program is really small right now, so if they go sing at other places, they will probably increase people’s interest in coming to their school instead of a different one and be a part of their music program.
