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 to reduce noise distractions. The administration believes these changes will better support student academic success during high-pressure periods.

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 nice, but I doubt many students will use them. Most people study during the day or evening, not at 3 a.m. M: But for those who do pull all-nighters, it's a lifesaver. And the quiet floor is even better—I can never find a silent place to concentrate. W: I see your point, but adding a quiet floor means they'll probably move the group study areas, which are already crowded. Plus, keeping the library open all night costs a lot of money that could go to more useful resources, like new books or better computers. M: I still think it's worth it. Finals are brutal, and having a quiet, open space relieves stress. And the cost is minimal compared to the benefit of higher grades. W: Maybe you're right, but I just don't see the demand being that high.
