TPO 1T3 Set up New sculpture in campus = adminT5 volunteer need a van to carry the kids to the zoo, or use buses. = life s v s the girl is a volunteer for the elementary school kids and she is supposed to drive the kids to the zoo. But the problem is she didnt call the rental agency earlier so there is no car. The boy suggests her to borrow two vans from friends and then ask a friend to help her to drive the kids to the zoo. Second solution is to try to use public transportation, go to the zoo by bus. I think the first suggestion serves the problem better because its much easier to drive a bunch of kids by vans than to organize them to take the bus. TPO 2T3 Add Healthy food in campus = life T4 Take exam in the same time with the award ceremony, or write a paper or send other to go instead = exam s v s In the conversation, the girl has a schedule conflict. She won the prize for a writing contest and was invited to the award ceremony but her biology exam would take place in the same time. She asked professor about the it and the teacher said she could write a 5 pages paper instead. And here s alternative to have some else to receive the awards for her. I think the 1 first idea would be better. Writing a 5 page paper instead of taking the exam, she could go to attend the ceremony and receive the award. Her parents could be very proud. After all, writing paper would take much more time, this occasion is precious. TPO 4T3 Computer department schedule change = adminT5 S v s, Freshman forgot classroom , use computer to check, check each hall = classThe 1st year student forgot his schedule at dorm so he doesnt know where the classroom is. Another student gave him 2 solutions: one is to go to check the computer in student centrer, the other is to check the 3 lecture halls out and find out where the class takes place. The 1st solution sound more acceptable. Apart from this class, he could know the location of other class too. And for the 1st time, the teacher could understand. TPO 5T3 Dining policy , Cooking students cook for campus students. = lifeT5 S v s, wrest hurt cant practice and fears to not play well in concert, find Jim to replace her but he is not reliable. = life The girl hurt her wrist but she was supposed to play violin on a concert next week. She could still participate since she wouldnt disappoint her members. But she would risk ruining the show without enough practice. The boy advise to have some one else to replace her and play. I would favor the second solution over the first, because of her injury; she could not practice at all. That might influence the performance. For the person who could play violin, he could understand and behave well if she talks to him. TPO 6 T3 Shorten historical Seminaire hours = class T5 Pro v s, Friday afternoon is not a good meeting time or change it or select a leader. = workStudent complaints about the group study , she thinks its not efficient. Professor gave 2 solutions : one is to change the meeting time except Friday afternoon and another is to select a leader to control the meeting and make everyone focus on study. Well in my view second idea may work better. Since Friday afternoon is the only time they could be all available, it s hard to change the time. Having a supervisor could make the group study more efficient. TPO 7T3 Eliminate art class = classT5 Ss, computer broke, use computer lab, or go in morning or evening so crowded, call shop to repair it faster. = workIn the conversation, the girl complained her problem about the broken computer and she couldnt finish the paper on time. The boy suggested her to go to the computer lab where there are a lot of machines. And another suggestion is to call back the shop to ask them if computer could be repaired at the beginning of the week and she could still have the rest of the week to finish the paper. Personally, I would agree with first idea. Because, the deadline is close but the shop couldnt be contacted until next week. Since there are lots of machines in computer lab is better to go there first. TPO 8T3 Play Classical music during lunch = admin T5 Ss, 2 credit to finish courses, write a paper , go to another university to have class = degreeBoy has a big conflict in schedule. He has 2 classes meeting in the same time. The teacher suggests him to do an independent work to fulfill the requirement. Another option for him is to go to another school which has the same class and the credit is acceptable by his school. For me the best option should be the second one, he could be more motivated to be in a class and discuss with others. TPO 9T3 A new requirement in business study = degreeT5 Ss, move out apartment, water pipe doesnt work, stay in friends room, book a room in hotel. = life In the conversation, the girl meets some serious problem. She has to move out right away because the water pipe in her house is broken. There would be no water for a couple of weeks. So she has to find some place to stay. Heres an option: her friends invite her to live in their living room for free. Second one is a small hotel nearby the campus. If I were her, I would book a room in the hotel. Two weeks is not a short time. Since friends house is already crowded, that wouldnt be comfortable for all of them and midterm exam is coming. She needs a quiet place to study in. TPO 10 T3 Showing art work in student center = adminT5 Ss, no electricity, do a paper, bad wether, or ask teacher for more hours. = workIn the conversation, the girls problem is that she has to do a paper very soon on her laptop but there is no electricity in the city because of storm. The boy gives two options: one is to go the other city where the library is 20 min far from here. Second is to wait for tomorrow morning and ask teacher for an extension. I think the second option is better. Cause it would be unsafe to go out in the rain and it s a problem in the whole city. I think the professor would be understand. TPO 11T3 Renovate the dorm = adminT5 Ss, summer researcher, dorm room, drive 2h to campus or rent a room = life The boy got a housing problem. He got a summer assistant job which he didnt expect so he s not applied for the dorm. He had to find a place. There are 2 options: one is that he could live with his parents whose house is 2h driving from here. 2 is rent a room near the workplace. I would say renting a room near the workplace sounds better. 2h commute on road would be much tied. Living nearly, He could save both time and gas cost. TPO 12T3 Radio station offers more programs = life T5 S s, take exam in the same day with ceremony, be later or take exam earlier. = examThe girl got a schedule conflict. She was invited to attend Award ceremony but she also had a philosophy exam which would end right when the ceremony begins. The boy provided 2 options: one is to attend a ceremony just after the exam. The other is ask the philosophy professor to change the exam time with her. Well, I think the first option is better. The ceremony wouldnt start on time and there would be a long introduction, so the announcement wouldnt be missed. Besides, she wouldnt have to take the exam earlier. TPO 13T3 New Athletic stadium = adminT5 Ss, van broke, rent a van, postpone the trip. = lifeIn the conversation, the President anthropology meets some transportation problem. He was supposed to drive the members to special exhibit in museum by his mothers van. The problem is the van is broken and wont be repaired before the depart day. He could pay to rent a van and keep the original schedule or he could postpone the plan and go to the museum until the van is ok. Well, if I were in the case, I would put off the plan and pick another day to organize the visit. That would be acceptable for both sides. TPO 14T3 Allow food in class = adminT5 Ss, roommate move out, move to another place or find another = life The boy got a housing issue. His roommate is going to move off the campus so he has to make a decision about the living arrangement. Here is 2 option: live in the dorm and find a new roommate. Or move off the campus and living with his friends. If I were in the case, I would choose the second option. Living with friends would be a lot fun and he doesnt need to alter his schedule. Besides, its really economical. TPO 15T3 Renovate the run way = lifeT5 Ss, white shirt spotted, borrow one or wear a cream color shirt = lifeThe girl is member of choir and she is going to attend a concert. The problem is the outfit she wears is spotted with sauce. She doesnt have any white shirt to change. She may have another choice: a cream white shirt not exactly white but similar. Or she would borrow her roommate shirt first. Well, I think the first choice may be better. Since she couldnt contact with the roommate, taking her clothes without asking doesnt sound appropriate. Considering the limited time, she has no choice but the first one. TPO 16T3 Health center = admin T5 Ss, no book in store, online or share a book = lifeIn the conversation, the boy has a problem about buying the book the professor asked them to read. There is no stock in the store until a couple weeks. He would purchase the book with Russian book seller on internet. Or the girl suggests that he could share the book with her until his book is arrived in store. I think the second solution is better. Cause the book delivered from Russia would be much more expensive. and the chapters, they are asked to read is not many. They could finish it if pay more attention. TPO 17T3 Buying new unites = adminT5 Ss, research paper draft late arrived, deadline extension, do the best doing fast = workIn the conversation, the boy got a problem about his research paper. He received the first draft from professor the day just before the deadline then he didnt have much time to finish the final draft. Here s two suggestions. One, he could ask professor for deadline extension. Second, he could do his best with the time he left. Well, if I were in the case, I might ask the professor to give me more days to finish the paper. Since he wants a high score, its important to read all the comments and have a careful review of the paper. So it d better to have more time to write the final draft. TPO 18T3 Choir policy next year = adminT5 Ss, forgot it at home, return
