TOEFL 말하기 Task 2

Campus Dining Services is pleased to announce that all residential dining halls will now offer a wider variety of plant-based meal options at every meal, including breakfast. This change aims to promote sustainability and support student health. Additionally, the university will reduce the price of these plant-based dishes by 15% to encourage students to make environmentally friendly choices. The new menu will be implemented starting next semester.

M: Did you see the announcement about the new plant-based options in the dining halls? I'm really excited about it! W: Actually, I'm not so sure. I mean, I'm all for sustainability, but I think this is going to cause problems. M: What do you mean? W: Well, first, the dining halls are already crowded at meal times. Adding more options will make the lines even longer, and students who want regular meals will have to wait more. M: But they're just replacing some existing dishes, not adding more stations. W: That's my second point. If they replace some of the popular dishes, like the pasta or the grilled chicken, students who don't like plant-based food will have fewer choices. And the price reduction doesn't help if the food isn't appealing. M: I think it's a good step for the environment, though. W: I get that, but the university should first ensure that the options are tasty and that there's enough variety for everyone.
