TPO16口语Task3题目: Passage Student Health Services Need Improvement The situation at the health center is unacceptable: you sit in a crowded waiting room for hours waiting to get treatment for minor ailments. Then when it’s your turn, you get about three minutes with an overworked doctor. I have two suggestions: first, the heath center needs to hire more doctors so that each patient receives quality treatment. And as far as the wait time issue is concerned, the health center is currently open Monday through Fridays, which means that people who get sick over the weekend wait until the following week to get treatment. So, opening the health center on weekends should solve that problem too. Sincerely, Megan Finch Conversation Now listen to two students discussing the letter. Woman: Did you read that letter in the paper? Man: Sure, and though she’s right about the problems, I don’t think what she proposes will do much good. Woman: Really? Man: Yeah. Take her first suggestion: I mean, have you seen the health center. Woman: Of course! Why? Man: Well…it’s tiny. It suffers from lack of space, so, unless they build more treatment rooms or offices or something… Woman: Oh, I see… Man: And also, her second suggestion. Woman: It seems like that’ll help things out… Man: Well…not necessarily…I mean…think about it. A lot of students aren't even here on the weekends. Woman: That’s true. Man: They leave town and get away; there’s not a lot of people here. Woman: Yeah, like me, I got home probably…at least twice a month. Man: Right, and a lot of us leave campus for the weekend even more often than that. So there’s just not a lot of demand for treatment then. See what I mean? Question The man expresses his opinion about the student’s suggestions that are made in the letter. State the man’s opinion and explain the reasons he gives for holding that opinion. Key Points 1. hire more doc 2. open on weekends TPO16口语Task3参考答案(范文模板): The man doesn’t agree with the letter’s proposal on how to improve the student health services. According to the letter, the school could hire more doctors so that students don’t have to wait so long and can actually get quality treatment and not feel like they’re being rushed through the doctor’s office. But the man says that the health center is really small so even if they hire more doctors, there’s nowhere to put them all, unless the school builds more rooms for the health center. The letter also notes that since the health center is only open on weekdays, they should start including weekend hours as well so that students don’t have to wait over the weekend before they can get treatment, but the man points out that most students are not even on campus during weekends, so there won’t be a lot of students needing treatment on weekends anyways.
