TOEFL Speaking Task 2

Campus Announcement: Extended Library Hours During Finals Week. Starting next Monday, the main library will be open 24 hours a day through the end of finals week to accommodate students' study needs. Additional security staff will be on duty overnight, and a quiet study floor will be designated on the third floor. The café will remain open 24/7 during this period.

M: Did you see the announcement about the library staying open all night during finals? I think it's a great idea. W: Really? I'm not so sure. I mean, I usually study at home, and I worry about safety walking back to the dorms at 3 AM. M: But they're adding more security staff, so it should be safe. Plus, having a quiet floor will help me concentrate without distractions. My roommate is too noisy. W: True, but I still think it's unnecessary. Most students, like me, can manage our time during the day. And the café being open all night might just encourage people to hang out instead of study. M: Well, for those of us who need the space, it's a lifesaver. I'd definitely use it every night before my exams.
