📖 Reading Passage
Campus Announcement: New Meal Plan Options Starting Next Semester. Beginning next semester, the university will offer flexible meal plans, including a pay-per-meal option and a weekly block plan. This change aims to accommodate students' varying schedules and dietary needs. Students can choose their preferred plan during registration. The current unlimited plan will remain available but at a higher cost.
🎧 Listening Conversation
Man: Did you see the announcement about the new meal plans? I'm actually excited about this. Woman: Really? I'm not so sure. It seems like they're just trying to make more money. Man: Well, I think it's great because I often skip breakfast and rarely eat on weekends. The pay-per-meal option would save me a lot of money compared to the unlimited plan. Woman: But for students like me who eat three meals a day on campus, the unlimited plan is still the best deal, even with the price increase. Man: That's true, but the flexibility is key. I have a part-time job now, and my schedule changes weekly. The block plan lets me adjust my meals without losing money. Woman: I guess that works for some, but I'm worried about the higher cost of the unlimited plan. It's already expensive. Man: I see your point, but the new options give more control to students. I'm definitely switching to the pay-per-meal plan. Woman: Well, I hope it works out for you.
