学校建议 get rid of the food carts。
女生反对。首先她认为学校不应该 blame the food carts for all the trash,因为周围没有足够的 garbage cans。因此如果能 putting some garbage receptacales there,就可以解决问题。
另外,她不认为 eating in the dinin g hall更 healthier。因为 food carts 也卖一些 healthy food like fruits and juice. 比如这个女生就经常 stop by买一些 apples,能量棒啥的,这样当 hungry 的时候就可以 concentrate on the class。

Some educators think that in our global, tech-oriented world, students need to focus on nonfiction texts, such as news stories, technical manuals, or other informational materials. They say that reading poetry, novels, and short stories is not the optimal use of the limited time that students have in the classroom. How do you view this approach to education? Should schools limit the teaching of fictional texts in favor of teaching more practical, nonfiction texts?

Education has to evolve. Nowadays, there's an enormous amount of economic and political data freely available online. It's important that students can evaluate this information to understand local and world events in order to be good citizens. Reading fiction is a wonderful hobby, but school should prepare students for adult life and its responsibilities.

I spent a lot of class time in high school analyzing literature. I'm studying to be an engineer, so l admit that reading fiction in school was not directly applicable to my future occupation, but it did instill in me a love of reading, which is very valuable. I feel better equipped now to understand all sorts of written material.
