📖 Reading Passage

Campus Dining Expansion: The university will expand the main cafeteria to include a new international food station, starting next semester. The expansion aims to offer more diverse meal options and reduce wait times during peak hours. Construction will begin this summer, and the cafeteria will remain open with limited seating during renovations.

🎧 Listening Conversation

M: Did you see the announcement about the cafeteria expansion? I think it's a fantastic idea. W: Really? I'm not so sure. The construction will be a hassle, and we already have enough food options. M: But the new international station will bring variety. I'm tired of the same burgers and pizza every day. Plus, they say it'll cut down on lines, which is a huge problem at noon. W: That's true, the lines are awful. But they're closing half the seating area during construction. Where will we sit? M: I heard they're setting up temporary outdoor seating. It's a small price to pay for better food and shorter waits in the long run. W: I guess you have a point. I just hope the construction doesn't drag on.
❓ Question The man expresses his opinion about the announcement. State his opinion and explain the reasons he gives.
