Question
Listen to students discussing which facilities their college should invest in and answer the questions.
Answer
Question 1
Arguments for:
- computer lab - can be considered cultural and it can be used for most things, e.g. watching and editing films, digital design; access to latest technology
- climbing wall – what most students would like
- auditorium – the largest proportion of students will benefit from using it
- cinema – students will not have to go far to watch a film; educational value of watching old films
Question 2
Arguments used against the computer lab:
- Most students already have access to a computer; already spend too much time looking at screens.
Drawbacks of other options:
- auditorium & art studio – they already have a space that they use for these purposes, though they are not perfect
- climbing wall – not cultural and their money has to be invested into a cultural project
- cinema – could only afford old movies, people like to watch movies on their computers these days
Question 3
- No. Two students will vote for the computer lab and one for the climbing wall.
