34、The following appeared in the
editorial1 section of a local newspaper.
"The librarians in our town’s school system have reported that the number of trips that our students make to their school library on a voluntary basis has decreased
significantly2 in recent years. For example, the average seventh-grade student visited the school library five times last year, but four of those visits were part of required classroom activities. This shows that our students are reading less than in the past. To address this problem, our town needs to improve the atmosphere of the libraries so that they will be comfortable places in which to work. If students view the libraries as uncomfortable, then they are
unlikely3 to want to spend much time there."
