TOEFL Speaking Task 2

Campus Announcement: The university will extend the library's operating hours to 24/7 during final exam week. This change aims to provide students with more flexible study spaces. Additionally, the university will add a quiet study floor in the main library to accommodate increased demand. Students are encouraged to use the extended hours responsibly.

Man: Did you see the announcement about the library? I think it's a great idea. With finals, I often need to study late at night, and my dorm is too noisy. The 24/7 hours would really help me focus. Woman: I see your point, but I'm not so sure. The library is already crowded, and adding more hours might not solve the problem. I've had trouble finding a seat even during normal hours. Man: That's true, but they're also adding a quiet floor. That should ease the crowding. Plus, I think more students will spread out their study times if the library is open all night, so it might actually reduce the rush. Woman: Maybe, but I still worry about safety on campus late at night. It's not always well-lit near the library. Man: I hadn't thought about that, but the university usually increases security during finals. I still believe the benefits outweigh the drawbacks.
