The woman expresses her opinion of the university’s plan. Describe her opinion and her reasons for holding that opinion.
Cafe to be Built in Library
The university has decided to build a cafe in the basement of the library. The reason given for this new development is that university officials believe students will enjoy the convenience of being able to eat without having to leave the library. Students have often complained that their studies are disrupted because they must leave the library whenever they want to eat. Officials also believe that it will help make library study more productive if students have the opportunity to take short breaks in the cafe while they’re working
Sincerely,
Justin Ruben
Task3：
Explain what is meant by “the paradox of choice”, using the example mentioned by the professor.
Paradox of Choice
The freedom to make choices and decisions makes people happy because it gives them a sense of being in control of their lives. However, the fact that having some choice is good does not mean that having more choice is necessarily better, since having too many choices can cause anxiety and dissatisfaction. The main reason for this is that as the number of options available to us increases, the effort required to make a good decision increases as well This phenomenon has been termed the paradox of choice: we like having choices and think that having more choices should please us; but instead, it causes us distress.
Task4：
