TOEFLスピーキング Task 2

Campus Announcement: Starting next semester, the university will extend library hours to 24/7 during final exam weeks. Additionally, a new quiet study floor will be added to reduce noise distractions. The administration believes this will help students perform better academically and reduce stress during peak exam periods.

Woman: Did you see the announcement about the library? I'm really excited about the 24/7 hours during finals. Last semester, I had to leave at midnight right when I was in the zone, and it really broke my concentration. Man: I agree, but I'm more thrilled about the quiet floor. The current library is so noisy with group study sessions. I can never find a silent spot to focus on my reading. Woman: True, but I think the extended hours are more important. Many students, like me, are night owls, and we do our best work late. Plus, not everyone has a quiet dorm room. Man: Good point. But the quiet floor will benefit everyone, even during regular hours. It will reduce complaints and make studying more efficient. I think both changes are great, but if I had to pick, I'd say the quiet floor is the biggest improvement.
