Food Lockers

Official Question Material
Prep: Varies

Official Audio Prompt

Three students were chatting while waiting for library seats, discussing whether the campus should install food lockers for takeout. The first student strongly supported the idea, saying lockers would make it easier to pick up food anytime without rushing or wasting meals. The second student agreed, sharing how a delivery person had trouble reaching the dorm, and lockers would solve that by letting students collect food with a simple code. The third student wasn't sure, saying the campus cafeteria already offers cheap and fresh food, and space near dorms and gates is limited. But the first student pointed out that the cafeteria closes early, and lockers could be placed near the student center, which offers extra space and is easy to access. The second student added that lockers wouldn't hurt the cafeteria's business, since most students order takeout due to timing issues. He even suggested the cafeteria could use the lockers to sell boxed meals for students who miss regular meal hours. The third student raised concerns about locker maintenance and possible breakdowns. In response, the first student explained that the school could hire someone to clean the lockers daily, and most locker systems have customer service to fix problems quickly. He also mentioned that other schools offer this service for free. The second student backed this up, saying his cousin's school has free lockers that work well, especially during busy exam times. Finally, the third student agreed that a trial run could be a good idea-start with a few lockers near the student center and expand if students use them often. Everyone felt this could be a helpful and practical solution for campus life.
