Notice on the door of the chemistry lab

The staff of the chemistry lab regrets to inform all students and faculty in the Chemistry Department that the chemistry lab is now closed due to an unfortunate occurrence there. Because of this unfortunate circumstance that has rendered the chemistry lab unusable, it has been necessary to close the lab until necessary repairs can improve the condition of the lab to a point that is once again usable. The staff of the chemistry lab sincerely regrets any inconvenience that this might cause students and faculty who make use of the lab as part of their research or studies. Repairs to the lab will commence at the soonest possible moment, and the lab will be reopened as soon as it is feasible (though, based on the current condition of the lab, it might take a considerable amount of time). Once again, the staff of the chemistry lab apologizes for this inconvenience.

Sample Answer:

In this set of materials, the reading passage describes a notice on the door of the chemistry lab, and the listening passage is a discussion by two students on what is in the note.

According to the reading passage, the notice explains that there was an unfortunate occurrence in the chemistry lab, that the lab is now unusable, and that it most likely will not be open for some time to come.

In the listening passage, the students discuss the notice and what it means for them. They will not be able to complete the lab work that has been assigned for their chemistry class; the woman seems more concerned about this than the man does. One interesting point in all of this is that the man has heard a rumor that it was their own chemistry professor who caused an explosion that damaged the lab. The students seem to be amused at this thought.

Memo from the librarian

Too many students have been failing to return library materials or to pay late fees for materials that were returned after the due date. In order to remedy this situation, the decision has been reached that library privileges will be suspended for any students who have failed to return materials or have failed to pay required late fees. This means that students whose library privileges have been suspended will not be able to check out any further library materials until any delinquencies have been cleared.

SAMPLE NOTES ON READING PASSAGE：

TOPIC: memo from head librarian on what to do about students not returning materials and paying late fees

Main points：

students library privileges stopped

students unable to check library materials out

Sample Answer:

According to the reading passage, the memo from the librarian explains what will be done about students who do not return materials they have checked out from the library or pay late fees for the materials that have not been returned on time.

In the listening passage, the students discuss this memo from the head librarian. They have very different opinions of this memo. The man thinks that this new policy is wrong because students need to use the library, so they should not be prevented from using it. The woman thinks that the new policy is OK because students need to return books and pay fees, so something has to be done.
