MUSIC COMING TO CAFETERIAS
Mary Dixon, Director of the Student Life Committee, announced yesterday that beginning next semester, university cafeterias will broadcast classical music during mealtimes. "Music will foster a more relaxed atmosphere," said Dixon."Students' lives are hectic, and mealtimes provide important opportunities to take a break and catch up with friends before moving on to the next class or assignment." Added Dixon,"We're also hoping that, if we provide the music, students will unplug their personal music devices--their Walkmans and MP3 players or whatever- -and will spend more time talking to each other: When students have their headphones on, they're not connecting with each other."

YOUR SAMPLE ANSWER
●Reading Main Point+2 Reasons
The school announced that the university cafeterias will broadcast classical music during mealtimes because music will help
students relax during meals and students will unplug their personal music devices and spend time talking to each other.
●Transition
The man disagrees with the plan for two reasons.
●First Reason
First of all, he argues that students don't actually want to relax during meals. Many of them prefer to study for exams or work on assignments while they eat. So they would probably find the music distracting.
●Second Reason
Moreover, he states that most students don't like classical music. In fact, they are even more likely to listen to their own music to block out the classical music that they don't enjoy.
