TOEFL Speaking Task 2

Campus Announcement: Starting next semester, the university will extend library hours to 24/7 during final exam weeks. Additionally, a new quiet study floor will be added to reduce noise distractions. The administration believes these changes will improve student performance and satisfaction.

M: Did you see the announcement about the library? I think it's great! W: Really? I'm not so sure. I mean, 24/7 hours sound nice, but it might just encourage more all-nighters, which aren't healthy. M: But think about it—during finals, everyone needs flexibility. Some people study better at night, and now they won't have to worry about being kicked out. W: I guess that's true, but what about the new quiet floor? It's only one floor, and with more students staying late, it could get crowded. Plus, they didn't mention adding more study rooms, just one floor. M: Well, I think it's a step in the right direction. The quiet floor will at least give us a dedicated space without noise, and the extended hours mean we can choose when to study. That's better than the current situation. W: I see your point, but I still think it's not enough. They should also increase staffing and security if they're open all night. Otherwise, it might not be safe or well-maintained.
