TOEFL Speaking Task 2

Campus Announcement: The university will extend the library's hours to 24/7 during finals week, from December 10 to December 20. This change aims to accommodate students' increased study demands. Additionally, the library will offer free coffee and snacks from 10 PM to 2 AM each night to help students stay alert and focused.

M: Did you see the announcement about the library staying open all night during finals? I think it's a great idea. I always struggle to find a quiet place to study late at night, especially when my roommates are noisy. Now I can go there whenever I want. W: Yeah, but I'm not so sure. I mean, the free coffee and snacks sound nice, but won't that create a mess and distract people? Plus, they might attract students who just come to hang out, not study. M: I see your point, but I think the benefits outweigh the drawbacks. First, having 24/7 access means I can study at my own pace without worrying about closing time. That would really reduce my stress. Also, the free coffee and snacks are practical—they save me money and keep me energized during long study sessions. Even if some people misuse it, most of us will use it responsibly.
