Hot Breakfasts Eliminated
Beginning next month, Dining Services will no longer serve hot breakfast foods at university dining halls. Instead, students will be offered a wide assortment of cold breakfast items in the morning. These cold breakfast foods, such as breads, fruit, and yogurt, are healthier than many of the hot breakfast items that we will stop serving, so health-conscious students should welcome this change. Students will benefit in another way as well, because limiting the breakfast selection to cold food items will save money and allow us to keep our meal plans affordable.

W: Do you believe any of this? It’s ridiculous.
M: What do you mean? Well, isn’t it important to eat healthy foods?
W: Sure, it is. But they are saying yogurts better for you than an omelet or than hot cereal? I mean, whether something is hot or cold, that shouldn’t be the issue. Maybe on a really cold morning, in that case, which is going to be better for you, a roll of cold cereal or a nice warm omelet? It’s obvious. There is no question.
M: Uh, I am not gonna argue with you there.
W: And this whole thing about saving money.
M: What about it?
W: Well, they are actually going to make things worse for us, not better coz if they start cutting back and we can’t get what we want right here on campus. Well, we’re going to be going off campus and pay off-campus prices. And you know what? That’ll be expensive. Even if it’s only two or three mornings a week, they can add up.

여학생은 리딩에 언급된 알림 내용에 동의하지 않음 (Do you believe any of this? It’s ridiculous. (여학생이 어처구니 없다고 말하면서 리딩의 알림에 대해 반대함)
첫번째 이유: It is not accurate to claim that cold breakfast foods are significantly healthier than hot breakfast items. (차가운 음식이 뜨거운 음식보다 더 건강하다는 것은 사실이 아님)
During the cold season, there’s no doubt that hot breakfast items are preferable.
(추운날에 차가운 시리얼보다 따뜻한 오믈릿이 더 좋음)

두번째 이유: If they start cutting back and we can’t get what we want right here on campus, we’ll end up going off-campus and paying higher prices, which are more expensive than the meal plans. (만약 학생들이 원하는 따뜻한 음식을 학교에서 제공하지 않는다면 학생들이 따뜻한 음식을 학교 밖에서 비싸게 사먹어야 하므로 돈을 절약하는 게 아님)

 

(샘플 답안)
The reading passage discusses an announcement proposing the removal of hot breakfast options from the university’s dining halls.
In response, the woman expresses reservations about this decision.
Her initial contention challenges the assertion that cold breakfast foods inherently offer superior health benefits compared to their hot counterparts. She argues that particularly during colder seasons, hot breakfast items are more conducive to providing warmth and sustenance.
Furthermore, she posits that eliminating hot breakfast options would not yield cost savings for students. Instead, she contends that it would compel them to seek alternative dining options outside the university, where prices are typically higher. Consequently, this would impose an additional financial burden on students rather than alleviating their expenses.
