University Should Allow Eating in Class

<-NARRATOR:-> Now listen to two students discussing the letter.
<-FEMALE STUDENT:-> Did you see this letter, Jim?
<-MALE STUDENT:-> Yeah.
<-FEMALE STUDENT:-> Be kinda nice to be able to do that, huh?
<-MALE STUDENT:-> No, actually I don't think it's a good idea.
<-FEMALE STUDENT:-> Why not?
<-MALE STUDENT:-> Well, like the part about how it would help students concentrate.
I mean maybe a little snack will help the person who's eating it.
But the trouble is that it makes it hard for everyone else to concentrate
coz they have to listen to someone munching on chips or biting into an apple or crinkling paper wrappers.
<-FEMALE STUDENT:-> I guess is can be kind of disruptive.
<-MALE STUDENT:-> Yeah, it would interfere with everyone's concentration.
You wouldn't be able to pay attention with all the noises going on.
<-FEMALE STUDENT:-> Ok.I guess I have to agree with you on that.
But what about her other reason?
It would be nice to able to have some fun at the end of the semester, right?
<-MALE STUDENT:-> No, there is a problem with that too.
<-FEMALE STUDENT:-> Why?
<-MALE STUDENT:-> Well, I don't think it appropriate to use class time for that kind of thing.
I mean, the last classes are usually pretty important.
That's when we will do a lot reviewing for final exams.
<-FEMALE STUDENT:-> [Reluctantly agreeing] True.
<-MALE STUDENT:-> If we use that time for that, we probably wouldn't have time to do as much reviewing, which means we wouldn't be as well prepared for exams.
<-FEMALE STUDENT:-> Yeah, I hadn't thought of that.
