TPO26口语Task3题目：

Advisor Meetings Should No Longer Be

The man doesn’t agree with the letter’s proposal no longer have advisor meetings be required by students. According to the letter, all the information that a student needs is already available on the school’s website and all students have access to this website, but the man says that the counselors help students find out what classes you need to take and can provide a student with more detail than the website.
