NARRATOR：

Now listen to two students discussing the letter.

FEMALE STUDENT：

Did you see this letter?

MALE STUDENT：

Yeah. It's a nice idea, but it'll never happen.

FEMALE STUDENT：

Why do you say that?

MALE STUDENT：

Well, first of all, you can get on a bus right here on campus, and in half an hour you're downtown at the county art museum.

FEMALE STUDENT：

That's true.

MALE STUDENT：

And if you show your student ID card, it only costs like two bucks to get in.

FEMALE STUDENT：

Yeah. In fact, on Mondays, students get in for free.

MALE STUDENT：

Right. And you can see some of the greatest art in the world there.

For example, you know Rembrandt, the famous Dutch painter?

FEMALE STUDENT：

Yeah.

MALE STUDENT：

Well, right now they're showing something like twenty of his paintings.

FEMALE STUDENT：

Wow.

MALE STUDENT：

Yeah. [changing topics]And you know,

it's true, we do have a lot of very generous alumni.

But we're already asking them for help building a new student center and a new library.

And those are both very expensive projects.

FEMALE STUDENT：

Yeah, that's right.

MALE STUDENT：

So I don't think we can expect them to donate much money for anything else anytime soon. Especially for something we don't really need.
