Sample response 3 - 2

Listen to two sample responses. Write down any useful expressions.

Opinion 1

The man has to visit his grandfather in the hospital, and he will not be back in time to go on a field trip with his class on Friday.

The trip is a big part of his grade. The woman suggests that he either meet up with the class Saturday morning or ask the professor for an alternative assignment.

I think it would be better for him to catch up with the group on Saturday. Since there are lots of signs to help them find out where to go, he should be able to locate the class easily.

Also, he will not have to worry about whether or not the professor will allow him to do an alternative assignment. Is too risky to depend solely on the professor’s kindness.

I think it would be better for him to ask his professor for an alternative assignment.

Since this is an emergency, his professor will probably allow him to do another assignment. Also, the man will not have to worry about getting lost.

It is too risky to try and find his way around as he does not know the area well.
