NARRATOR：

Now listen to two students discussing the article.

MALE STUDENT：

Did you see this announcement in the newspaper?

It sounds like a great idea.

FEMALE STUDENT：

You really think so?

Not many people even use the place.

MALE STUDENT：

I know! That's the point.

People don't go there because the facilities are old and the exercise equipment breaks down.

I think the director's right that they'd get more use out of it this way.

Right now, the place is usually empty, and that's too bad.

Students can get pretty stressed out if they don't get some exercise.

FEMALE STUDENT：

That's a good point.

But doesn't it seem like a lot of money?

MALE STUDENT：

It's not really all that much, if you figure a lot of people spend that kind of money on a CD, or when they go out to the movies.

This is just one charge for the whole year.

FEMALE STUDENT：

That's true.

And instead of some little thing, we get a recreation center people might actually use.

MALE STUDENT：

Right. So considering the benefits, it's really not that much to pay.

FEMALE STUDENT：

Yeah, I guess you're right.
