TOEFLスピーキング Task 2

Campus Announcement: The university will extend the library's hours to 24/7 during finals week. This change is intended to provide students with more flexible study time. Additionally, the library will offer free coffee and snacks in the lobby from 10 PM to 2 AM to help students stay focused. The extended hours will be in effect from the Sunday before finals until the last day of exams.

M: Did you see the announcement about the library? I think it's a great idea. W: Really? I'm not so sure. The 24/7 hours sound good, but the free coffee and snacks might be a problem. It could get noisy and distracting. M: But they're only in the lobby, not in the study areas. And it's a nice way to keep students energized without having to leave the library. W: I guess, but I'm worried about the cost. Where's the money coming from? Maybe they'll cut other services, like the writing center. M: I doubt it. The announcement says it's funded by a private donor. Plus, having a quiet place to study at 3 AM is worth it. W: But some students need quiet during the day too. If everyone studies at night, the study rooms might be crowded during regular hours. M: That's not a big issue. The library has enough space. Overall, I think it's a positive change.
