The speakers discuss two possible solutions to the woman’s problem Briefly summarize the problem Then state which solution you recommend and why 90secondsListen to a conversation between two studentsM

The woman's problem is that the documents she planned to use for her history paper are not available for at least another two weeks due to restoration work. She is unsure whether to change her topic and start working on the paper immediately or wait for the documents to become available.

I recommend that the woman changes her topic and starts working on the paper immediately. Although she has already done a lot of research on her current topic, waiting for the documents to become available would mean doing major work on the paper during a busy time at the end of the school term. By changing her topic, she can utilize the information she has already gathered and make progress on her paper right away.
