Here is the reading:

University to Build New Auditorium The university has decided to demolish the old campus auditorium and replace it with a new one. The auditorium is one of the oldest original buildings on campus, and administrators say it is showing signs of its age: sagging floors, peeling paint, a drafty interior, and outdated decor. The new auditorium, by contrast, will have a clean, modern appearance. Also, the old auditorium is too small to accommodate the number of current students. The new auditorium will be bigger, with a greater number of seats to accommodate a larger student body.

Here is the conversation:

M: I wish they wouldn’t do this.

F: Really? But the place is so old…

M: Yeah, but I like that. I think it’s a nice, historic-looking building.

F: Hmm … well, I guess it’s kinda pretty…

M: It’s an important part of the university’s history. It was one of the first things built on campus… we should preserve that … not get rid of it.

F: That’s a good point. But what about the need for an expansion?

M: I don’t think it’s necessary.

F: But it was built when the university was so much smaller.

M: That’s true, but think about it: have you ever seen the space completely full?

F: Well … uh, no, I guess not.

M: Me either. There are never any events when the entire student body is there. In fact, there are usually just a small number of students in the audience for a play or a concert.

F: That’s true.

M: So why make it bigger, if it works as-is?

F: I see what you mean.

M: I mean, there isn’t much to do on campus besides go to the movies. If there were other forms of, uh recreation, or other social activities, you know, I don’t think most students would have said that going to the movies was their first choice.

Here is the prompt:

The man expresses his opinion about the university's plan. Briefly summarize the plan, then state his opinion and explain the reasons he gives for holding it.
