TOEFL Speaking Task 2

Announcement: The university will extend the library's weekday hours from 10 PM to midnight starting next semester. This change aims to support students during exam periods and provide more study time. The library will also increase security staff during the extended hours. Students are encouraged to use the additional time for quiet study.

Woman: Did you see the notice about the library hours? I think it's a great idea. I often stay late to finish assignments, and 10 PM always comes too soon. Now I can get more work done without rushing. Also, having extra security makes me feel safer walking home later at night. That peace of mind is really important to me. Man: I see your point, but personally, I'm against it. I think it's unnecessary because most students don't use the library after 10 PM anyway. Plus, extending hours will cost more money, and the university could spend that on better resources like new books or more study spaces. Woman: Well, I still think it's worth it for those who need the extra time, especially during finals. But I see your concern about costs.
