TOEFLスピーキング Task 2

Notice: Effective next semester, the university library will extend its opening hours from 12:00 AM to 2:00 AM on weekdays during the final exam period. This change is intended to provide students with additional quiet study time. Additionally, a new late-night shuttle bus service will be added to run every 30 minutes between the library and student dormitories to ensure safety.

Male student: Did you see the email about the library staying open until 2 AM during finals? That's great! I often pull all-nighters and need a quiet place to study. My roommate is noisy, so this helps a lot. Female student: I'm not so sure. I think it's a waste of resources. Most students don't even use the library past midnight. And the shuttle bus only runs every 30 minutes, which means you might wait a long time in the cold. That's not really safe either. Male student: But for those of us who do study late, it's a lifesaver. Also, the shuttle bus is better than nothing. I can just plan my breaks around the schedule. And I've heard many students complain about the lack of late-night study spots, so I think it's needed. Female student: I still think the money could be spent on more useful things, like more books or better Wi-Fi.
