You have 45 seconds to read the passage below. You may begin reading now.
Switching to Electronic Books
Beginning next semester, students will no longer be able to buy paper books. Instead, students will be required to download all of their books to an electronic book reader. After hearing from students involved in the Environmental Protection Club, we believe it is socially irresponsible to continue to force students to buy books that require the use of natural resources, like the trees needed to produce the paper used in textbooks. We have also received countless complaints about the price of books from students. Switching to an e-book format will be a more affordable option that will reduce the cost of buying textbooks by up to 50%.
Now listen to a conversation about the same topic.
Now answer the question
The man expresses his opinion on the change from physical to electronic books. Briefly summarize the change. Then state his opinion about the change and explain the reasons he gives for holding that opinion.
Preparation Time: 30 seconds
