TOEFL 말하기 Task 2

Campus Announcement: Starting next semester, the university will extend library hours to 24/7 during finals week. Additionally, a new quiet study floor will be added on the third level to accommodate increased demand. The extended hours will require additional staffing, funded by a small increase in student fees.

M: Did you see the announcement about the library? I think it's a great idea. Finals week is always so stressful, and I often end up pulling all-nighters. Having 24/7 access means I won't have to worry about being kicked out at midnight. W: I agree that extended hours are helpful, but I'm concerned about the fee increase. I already struggle to pay for textbooks. M: I get that, but the fee is only five dollars per semester. That's totally worth it for the convenience. Plus, the new quiet floor is perfect for me because I can't concentrate in the noisy main areas. W: True, but I think they could have found other ways to fund it, like reducing sports budgets. Still, I'll use the quiet floor a lot, so maybe it's okay. M: Exactly! The benefits outweigh the small cost.
