TOEFL Устная речь Task 2

Campus Fitness Center Expansion Announcement: Starting next semester, the university will expand the campus fitness center to include a new yoga studio and additional cardio machines. To fund this project, the student recreation fee will increase by $50 per semester. The expansion is expected to reduce wait times for equipment and provide more diverse exercise options for students.

Man: Did you see the announcement about the fitness center expansion? I'm really excited about it! Woman: Really? I'm not so sure. The fee increase is a bit much for me. Man: But think about it—the new yoga studio will be great. I've been wanting to take yoga classes, but the off-campus gym charges a fortune. Plus, more cardio machines mean I won't have to wait 20 minutes for a treadmill during peak hours. Woman: I get that, but $50 more per semester adds up. I rarely use the fitness center, so it seems unfair to make all students pay. And they could have just bought a few more machines without building a whole new studio. Man: Well, I think it's worth it. The current facilities are overcrowded, and this will benefit many students in the long run. Woman: I see your point, but I still think the fee increase is too high for what we're getting.
