5.语言使用

Original: The student proposes that the information session should be cancelled, while the woman strongly objected this idea. She holds primarily two reasons. The first one is that she thinks that the information session is still useful, especially in terms of buying books. For example, the student will not choose to buy books on the bookstore. Instead, they will choose to buy some books on the book fair. In that case, they will save some money. Another reason she holds is that she thinks that it's just not realistic for students to use the website for the information because students just do not bother to look at it. They have other things to care about, like their classes and campus events. So if there are no information sessions, they will probably miss some of the important information.

Corrected: The student proposes that the information session should be cancelled canceled(取消的拼写应为canceled) , while the woman strongly objected objects to(应使用objects to表示反对) this idea. She holds primarily two reasons. The first one is that she thinks that the information session is still useful, especially in terms of buying books. For example, the student students(应使用复数形式) will not choose to buy books on at(介词应为at) the bookstore. Instead, they will choose to buy some books on at(介词应为at) the book fair. In that case, they will save some money. Another reason she holds is that she thinks that it's just not realistic for students to use the website for the information because students just do not bother to look at it. They have other things to care about, like their classes and campus events. So if there are no information sessions, they will probably miss some of the important information.

Revised (140 words): The student proposes that the information session should be canceled, while the woman strongly objects to this idea. She provides two main reasons for her disagreement. Firstly, she believes that the information session remains useful, particularly when it comes to purchasing books. For instance, students would not opt to buy books at the bookstore; instead, they would choose to purchase them at the book fair, ultimately saving money. Secondly, she argues that it is unrealistic for students to rely on the website for information as they typically do not take the time to explore it. With other priorities such as classes and campus events, students would likely miss out on crucial information if there were no information sessions provided.
