NARRATOR：

Now listen to two students discussing the article.

MALE STUDENT：

So...what do you think of this?

FEMALE STUDENT：

Well, I think it's a good idea. Necessary, too.

MALE STUDENT：

Why's that?

FEMALE STUDENT：

Well, you know, I've actually been up to the admissions office a couple times, like to pick up some information for a friend, you know?

And every time I've ever been there?

Wow, you can tell they're really busy.

MALE STUDENT：

Oh, really?

FEMALE STUDENT：

Yeah. Those staff members are running around like crazy-

on the phone, doing interviews, dealing with tons of paperwork-so I can totally believe what they're saying about the time factor.

Seems like having one less thing to worry about will be a good thing.

MALE STUDENT：

Sounds like it!

FEMALE STUDENT：

Yep. Oh, and about the other point...

MALE STUDENT：

The, uh, different-perspective thing?

FEMALE STUDENT：

[affırms] M-hm. I think people like us would be really good at this.

Unlike, you 'know...

I remember when I was first shown around the campus.

The guy leading was...well, he was super nice, but there were some questions that he couldn't really answer from experience.

MALE STUDENT：

Like what?

FEMALE STUDENT：

Well...practical things,

which're the noisier dorms, or which ones are quietest...

which student cafeteria he'd recommend.

Stuff he didn't have first-hand knowledge about.

I mean, how could he?

MALE STUDENT：

I see.Our point of view might be more helpful.
