M: Hey Linda, did you get that letter about the new options for food service next year?
W: Not yet. Are there a lot of changes?
M: There sure are.Instead of paying one fee to cover all meals for the whole school year,(1)_____________________________________.We still have to pay the whole year at the beginning,but we can choose to buy seven, ten,fourteen or twenty-one meals per week.They give you a card with the number of meals you get for a week marked on it.
W: That’s a big change, Tom. And a complicated system!
M: Yeah. But it will be much better for peoplewho don’t eat three meals a day,seven days a week in the cafeteria because they don’t have to pay meals they don’t eat.
W: (2)_________________________________________________.
M: It’s better for them too.Because the more meals you contract for,the cheaper each one is.
W: I see. (3)_______________________________________________.
M: True. It took me several hours to figure it out.I decided to go with the ten-meal plan.
W: Why is that?
M: Well, I never eat breakfast and I often go away on weekends.So the ten-meal plan gives me lunch and dinner every weekday at a fairly low price.And I won’t be paying for meals I don’t usually eat.
we are now able to choose how many meals a week we want and can contract just for that month
so what's the deal for those who do eat at school all the time
it still sounds rather complicated
