　　TPO23口语Task3题目：
　　No More International News
　　For the past few years, the daily campus newspaper has included a one-page international news section covering a few of the major stories in world news. Starting next month, the section will be eliminated. One of the reasons the newspaper editors gave for the decision to cut the section is that other news sources are better able to provide wider and more up-to-date international news coverage. The editors also noted that the change would create space for a new calendar page that will list events and activities around campus.
　　Conversation
　　Now listen to two students discussing the article.
　　Man: Hey, what do you think of this?
　　Woman: You mean the editors’ decision?
　　Man: Right.
　　Woman: I think they are right. It’s the thing to do.
　　Man: Really? Why?
　　Woman: Well, hardly anyone reads that section.
　　Man: You don’t think so?
　　Woman: Not really, I mean, they only cover stories and most people already know about them before they even get around to reading the campus paper.
　　Man: True, if you get the local paper, or use the internet, you already know the major stories.
　　Woman: Exactly, and the coverage’s better. I think we should just stick with campus news and stuff.
　　Man: So do you think what they’re gonna replace with is better?
　　Woman: Definitely, right now, how do you learn about what’s happening on campus?
　　Man: Mostly from posters in different buildings or in the student center.
　　Woman: Right, the information is everywhere but it’s hard to keep track of it. I see stuff posted but then I forget about it half the time.
　　Man: So you’re saying that with this new section?
　　Woman: You could just cut it out from the newspaper and carry it around and check it anytime and know what’s taking place when and where.

　　The woman endorses the letter’s proposal to get rid of the international section of the newspaper. According to the letter, there are a lot better sources for international news than the school’s paper that is more up-to-date and the woman reckons it’s true saying the paper only covers a couple of stories and most people already know the information before even reading the paper. The letter also notes that the change would allow the paper to now have a calendar section where they can list upcoming activities in school and the woman adds that students can only find out about events from posters around school and it’s hard to keep things organized, so by adding the calendar, students can just cut it out of the paper and take the calendar with them and stay more organized.
