Notice of Changes at the Counseling Center
We regret to inform you that the Counseling Center will no longer be open five days a week. Starting on March 15, the Center will be open only on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Thursdays, from 8:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. Another change is the new fee of $25 for our special workshops. These workshops, which were formerly free of charge, include evening and weekend courses in career planning, stress management, and test preparation. The above changes are due to budget cuts and increased costs throughout the college. Despite these changes, however, we will continue to provide our students with high-quality counseling services.
Now cover the passage and listen to the conversation. You may take notes, and you may use your notes to help you answer the question. After you hear the question, begin preparing your response. You may look at the question, but NOT at the passage. You have 30 seconds to prepare your response and 60 seconds to speak.
The woman expresses her opinion about the changes at the Counseling Center. State her opinion and explain the reasons she gives for holding that opinion.

Now listen to two students as they discuss the changes at the Counseling Center.
M: Did you see the announcement about the Counseling Center?
W: Yes, I did. They’ll be open only three days instead of five. How could they do that to us?
M: Budget cuts—that’s how.
W: Well, it’s not fair to students, especially those of us who can’t get there on the days when it’s open. I need to talk to someone about finding a job after graduation, but I have a pretty heavy schedule. The only day I have free time is Friday, but now they’re closed on Friday.
M: I see your point.
W: I might be interested in one of the evening workshops, but now there’s a fee for those.
M: I saw that—twenty-five dollars!
W: That’s too much for something that used to be free. It’s unfair to charge us for a class in career planning, especially since our tuition went up this year too. I know they need to make budget cuts, but why cut the Counseling Center? That should be a basic service included in our tuition.
M: I agree.
W: We should complain to someone about this.
