Task Overview
Reading Passage
Student Plays Should Be Free for Everyone Thanks to our superb theater program here at the university, we are fortunate to be able to see many plays that are put on by student actors. However, while all employees and students at the university may attend these plays for free, anyone who is not directly associated with the university must pay a fee to attend. I think student plays should be open to everyone free of charge. That way, people in the local community could benefit from having a free entertainment option in town. It would also be good for the student actors, since it would help to ensure larger audiences at the plays.Sincerely,Marie Jones

First off, there is not a lot to do for the town people. There isn't even a movie theater and the nearest theater is one hour away and also expensive. So it is good to have a free option of entertainment. Besides, it is also helpful for the student actors, since sometimes there are not lots of people there to watch them.

5.语言使用Original Answer: Phoresi refers to the relationship that animals use another kind of species to transport themselves without causing any injury to this kind of species. Take the mite as an example, they feed on a kind of flower which falls off very quickly. So they eat the nectar from the flower but they have to transport themselves to another flower. However, they cannot fly so it might be hard to climb from a flower to another flower for the mite. And there is a kind of bird called hummingbird which eats the same flower of the mite. And when they get nectar, the mite may come to this bird and because they are tiny, it won't cause any harm to the hummingbird. And the hummingbird takes care of them with their flowers.
Corrected Answer: The proposal suggests that student plays should be free for everyone, including people not directly associated with the university. The man agrees with this idea because it would provide more entertainment options for local residents and help student actors perform better by having larger audiences. (原文与任务要求无关,已修改为正确回答任务的内容。)

5.语言使用Original: The letter states a proposal that the university's student place plays (“place”应为“plays”,因为这里讨论的是学生剧场表演) should be free to everyone. And a man named Paul, who is a student actor in the university, says this proposal is great. He gives two main reasons. Firstly, he says there's not a lot of entertainment for the people who live in the town. The theater was too far and those live shows were too expensive. So this proposal can provide an additional choice for those who live in the town. And secondly, he thinks this proposal is also helpful for the student actors and actresses of course. That is because if there's a lot of people sitting down there and watching for those student plays, the actors and actresses will be greatly encouraged. If there's a comedy, for example, there should be many people sitting down there and laughing for it to provide a nice atmosphere.
Revised (140 words): The letter proposes that the university's student plays should be free for everyone. Paul, a student actor at the university, strongly supports this proposal for two main reasons. First, he believes that there is limited entertainment available for local residents as professional theaters are distant and expensive. This proposal would offer an affordable alternative to those living in town. Second, Paul thinks that making student plays free would benefit student actors and actresses as well. A larger audience would greatly encourage performers and enhance their performance quality. For instance, in a comedy play, having more people present to laugh at jokes would create a lively atmosphere and contribute to the overall success of the show.

(学生建议的是“学生剧场”而不是“学生场所”,因此将“student place”改为“student plays”。另外,“免费”应该用“free of charge”表示,而不是“free to charge”。此外,“电影中心”应改为“电影院”,“专业场所”应改为“专业剧场”,“地区”应改为“城镇”。最后,“跟随房子”不符合语境,应改为“填满剧院座位”。)

Overall, making student plays free for everyone could provide an affordable entertainment option and support the growth of student actors.

Firstly, local communities could benefit from having access to free entertainment options. Secondly, it would be advantageous for student actors as it would attract larger audiences to watch their performances. The man in the conversation supports this idea. He mentions that there is no movie theater in town; thus, residents must travel long distances and pay high ticket prices to watch movies. Consequently, offering free entertainment would be a great opportunity for them. Furthermore, he believes that having no audiences in the theater would negatively impact the actors' performances. A full theater with people laughing at jokes creates a more humorous atmosphere, which ultimately benefits the students.
