Passage
Evening Computer Classes May Be Added
The computer department is considering offering evening classes in the fall. The proposal to add the classes is a response to student complaints that day-time computer classes have become increasingly overcrowded and there are no longer enough computers available. The department has decided that despite some added expense, the most cost-effective way of addressing this problem is by adding computer classes in the evening. It is hoped that this change will decrease the number of students enrolled in day classes and thus guarantee individual access to computers for all students in computer classes.
Conversation
Now listen to two students discussing the article.
Man: I just don’t think this will work.
Woman: Why not?
Man: Because it’s not gonna solve the problem. Students are busy at night, I mean, we have jobs, families, clubs, social events. Most of us already have something to do every single night of the week.
Woman: I see your point. I sure couldn’t fit anything into my schedule during the week. I’ve got swimming practice most nights.
Man: Right! And as far as expense goes, I think they’re going about it the wrong way. I mean, it cost money to hire more teachers and keep the academic building open later, which is a lot more expensive than simply just buying more computers.
Woman: More computers?
Man: That’s right! Computer prices have come way down the past few years. So the department won’t have to spend as much now as they did in the past. Besides, the computer department classrooms, you know, the rooms themselves, they are actually very big, there’s plenty of space to add more computers.

The school also notes even though they have to pay extra for the added classes, there’ll be less daytime enrollment so computer access is guaranteed for eachstudent. But the man points out it’s too expensive to hire new teachers and keep the building open later.
