TOEFL Speaking Task 2

Campus Announcement: Starting next semester, the university will require all students to purchase a meal plan if they live on campus. The plan includes 10 meals per week at the main dining hall. University officials believe this will encourage healthier eating habits and simplify dining options for students.

Man: Did you see the new meal plan requirement? I can't believe they're forcing us to buy it. Woman: Yeah, I saw it. I actually think it's a good idea. It'll save me from eating junk food all the time. Man: But what about students who have dietary restrictions or prefer to cook? We'd be paying for meals we can't use. Woman: That's a fair point, but the dining hall has allergy-friendly options and vegetarian choices. Plus, cooking takes time most students don't have. The plan ensures we eat regular, balanced meals. Man: I still think it's too rigid. What if I have a class during meal hours? I'd miss my meals. Woman: The dining hall is open for extended hours, so you can go before or after class. Honestly, I think it'll help everyone stay on a schedule.
