TOEFL Speaking Task 2

The university announces that starting next semester, the campus library will extend its hours to 24/7 during finals week. The administration believes this change will better accommodate students' study schedules and reduce stress during exam periods. Additionally, the library will provide free coffee and snacks during these extended hours to support students.

Woman: Did you see the announcement about the library staying open all night during finals? I think it's a great idea! Man: Really? I'm not so sure. It might just encourage students to procrastinate more. They'll think they have all night, so they'll put off studying until the last minute. Woman: But for those of us who work part-time during the day, it's the only time we can study. I have shifts until 10 PM, so I'd actually benefit a lot. Man: I see your point, but I'm worried about the cost. Free coffee and snacks for everyone? That could get expensive for the university. Maybe they should charge a small fee instead. Woman: I think it's worth it. The money spent on coffee is nothing compared to the benefits of helping students succeed. Plus, it shows the university cares about our well-being. Man: Well, when you put it that way, I guess it could be helpful. But I still think it might lead to more all-nighters, which isn't healthy. Woman: For me, it's a lifesaver. I'd definitely use it every finals week.
