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

ü        students' library privileges stopped

        In the listening passage, the students discuss this memo from the head librarian. They have very different opinions of this memo.
